## What is Syrinscape Board Game Player?

Created especially for board game enthusiasts, Syrinscape brings tabletop games to life!

The new Syrinscape Board Game Player app adds the dimension of sound to popular hobby games and classic tabletop board games. The base app includes two free SoundSets and an Accessories Kit, containing an authentic-sounding and fully randomized dice roller, "ooh" and "aah" sounds, and various music stings with which to punctuate victories, and mock opponents, perfect for card games, Sudoku, or classic board games like Chess and Checkers.

Also for the Board Game Player are officially licensed SoundSets for the global phenomenon board game Settlers of Catan, and family games Spike and Spellcaster, with more licensed games to be added. Once you've played these games with the sounds Syrinscape brings to the table, you'll never play without sound again!

Any content you buy from the Syrinscape Store is available across all your devices so you can pick up whichever device is to hand and immerse yourself in whatever sound world you desire.

Plug this into some big speakers at your next board game evening and have some noisy fun!

### 1/5 — Honestly a redundant and poorly designed app

*2024-04-29*

The developers are actually quite nice and seem to care about fixing problems with it. However, the app is not intuitive or compelling to use. The interface looks like something the DOD would make, poorly optimized and confusing to navigate.

### 1/5 — Cross-platform badness.

*2021-05-28*

Doesn’t use basic iOS features, like autofill. You can’t even paste in  a password. Unusable.

### 5/5 — Works perfectly, idk what others are going on about

*2020-06-24*

The app works as intended! The sign up is free, you get three free sound packs right at sign up, and can buy others as you go. 
I love this company and I love their apps. 
If you want something mor immersive or complex, go look at their bigger SyrinScape app instead.

### 1/5 — Shame no 0 star

*2019-02-24*

Shouldn’t need an account for this garbage. Instant delete

### 1/5 — Complete crap

*2017-12-23*

Paid for the Catan soundtrack. Then, downloaded the “player”. The only thing it plays is silence. So, either throw a 5 dollar bill in your fireplace or download this app, either way, you will be just as satisfied.

### 1/5 — Not an iOS app

*2017-10-03*

Looks like a sloppy web port - gross AVOID!!

### 1/5 — Idiotic

*2017-05-21*

I saw an ad for this app after buying a Settlers of Catan board kit. It said 'free sounds' to accompany the game. On starting it immediately asks you to log in but says you don't need to do that to access free sounds. Sure enough, catan requires a login. But there is no option to register. When you type a login and password it actually asks 'do you need to register?' But provides no way to do so. This is exactly the kind of lazy moronic programming that plagues the software world, and I had thought was just not tolerated by anyone anymore. It's a good idea that's been ruined by stupid implementation. Don't waste your time with it.

### 1/5 — Deleted right after Install

*2016-08-01*

App does not mention 'In-App Purchases' on App page.Also must create an Account to even use. Upon install, it requires a Sign In to DL a starter Sound set...being Chess and another type...but after seeing all this new info never stated previously, just deleted it based on 'what other things have they not told about'.

### 1/5 — WORST APP EVER!!

*2016-06-17*

Deserves zero stars.

### 1/5 — TERRIBLE.

*2016-04-24*

DOWNLOADS ARE SLOW. 1kb/sec. AFTER WAITING HOURS TO DOWNLOAD CATAN SOUNDS... It stays at 100%. WILL NEVER STOP DOWNLOADING. I WANT MY MONEY BACK.
