Great interface and sounds, but still has a way to go regarding features. The interface is very clear and intuitive, I love the drawers for different settings. However, some stuff is lacking or plain doesn't work like the volume sliders inside of a setting which doesnt seem to do anything. The lack of federative auth (such as log in with google) is preventing me from signing in and potentially subscribing.

Hey Danny, thanks for letting us know your thoughts! We definitely want to add a log in with Google option in the near future. As for the sliders not working for particular scenes, we'd love to learn more and help you out! Please reach out to us at [email protected] so we can assist. We'd love to hear what features you'd like to see next!

I am without words about how good and adaptable this music is. It's insanely easy and smooth to ramp up the intensity (it does need manual input), play sound effects (all you'll need is included), and musically put on the show. It's so good, I might just get it as a music app, Jezus. The only downside, to get access to non-standard (nonmedieval) adventure music you need to take a somewhat pricey subscription. Granted, the shear quality that the free stuff contains more than makes up the price.

Thanks for your review and feedback, Tristan! We've been listening to users about the price of the subscription, which is why we recently lowered the price form $70 to $50 USD for a year. At this time, we believe the subscription is our only viable business model. Please reach out to [email protected] if you'd like to learn more!

I'm excited about the potential for this app and just subscribed. I've been using it for the last couple D&D sessions, and my players keep freaking out when I turn the whispers on. Love it. I'd very much like to see more simple sound effects, like more animal sounds, perhaps npc greetings or responses, crowd reactions, a roaring fire, doors opening and closing, a twig snapping, different types of hits (sword on armor, flesh wound, bone breaking, etc). I look forward to future updates!
