DMDJ

I’ve been using this app for years and while other similar apps charge you for new “packs” or by the environment, this one gives you everything up front, and more of it! The environments are amazing and never sound looped. The layering is perfect. You can buy another app and then keep paying for it, or you can pay once for this one and have it all.

This app doesn’t even work. The dice are the only thing that work. The music does not.

Love this app but it doesn’t play in the background.

Developers, please make it so the music keeps playing even when the app is not directly open!! As a dm this is a must-have feature!

I will pay money for the maker of this to release a compatibility update for the current OS. Also it should let me turn off my phone and still have the music be playing. Thank you!!

Very solid app with lots of options and easy integration of my music on iOS. However it’s missing Airplay support which blows my mind since it’s designed to go to high quality speakers and I have to use a Bluetooth speaker instead of sending to my Airplay receiver for better sound. Also the inability to mute sound effects on demand is rough. Overall I still recommend this app but I’m hoping for these two updates in the future. My players love the ambience!

If you use an iPad then don’t get this. It can only be played vertically in portrait mode. The sound effects are bad. You can’t play it in the background or play music on top.

So I like it, but honestly there’s a few things I’d change. 1) Some actual in-app tutorials or explanations of the custom dice rolls and some of the more complicated features would be nice. 2) Some additions to the sound library it comes with would be rather nice. Under weather, I mean, you don’t have just... wind? A lot of areas are a bit lacking. 3) Biggest thing of all, when you first open the app it says it’s meant to be played through a hi-fi speaker system. Alright. Understandable. But the thing is, you can’t even preview things unless you have speakers or headphones or something plugged in. It just... deliberately WILL NOT play out of your phone’s speakers. And if I’m just setting something up, testing things out, messing around... I don’t care about sound quality. Let me hear it!

An app that has potential, but turns out to be a D&D themed app rather than a good D&D music app. First and foremost, I'd much rather have a better improved music app than have the dice rolling this app offers. Sure the dice rolling is nice if I didn't have dice, but you can't really call yourself a DM if you don't have some dice. Furthermore, you might as well us Game Master 5 or Fight Club 5 if you really needed an app to play the game. Now what makes this a relatively bad app is mainly the mixer... it doesn't really do much. All of the ambient sounds are played on the music channel meaning you can't increase or decrease the volume of the ambient sounds and the music separately. To make it much worse, all of the ambient sounds are MUCH too loud. They also have a number of sound effects which basically play just a single sound once and this is what the "sound effects" portions of the mixer controls... so yeah that makes the ambient sounds basically useless if you want to actually hear the music. Another thing that makes this app sub-par is that everything is in menus. You don't have a sound board or anything that you can edit to make finding the right ambient sounds or right music easier aside from a "favorites," but that's pretty terrible for a sound app, especially for one in a game as active as D&D. Every time you want to switch the environment, you have to do so manually by swiping through multiple menus, for music and ambience separately, weather too if you want to use that. As for sound effects? You better not want to use those on a whim because you'll have to swipe through those manually as well. If you really want a good customizable music app, use Audio Board, an app specially made to allow you to make a custom sound board. The only downside to it is that you can't play from multiple boards at once, but it's still much better than this app. UPDATE 3/11/18: Yeah... i decided to try and give this another chance, but it’s absolutely useless. Don’t purchase this app, there’s no way to organize the FX or music or what give you aside from the standard alphabetical. So if you want to take forever to set up everything, then sure this app might be for you? But yeah, this needs a way to organize everything into sets that are relevant to certain settings. And i mean sets as in select FX, Nature, AND music, not the worthless semi-organization in each individual theme. Hell, even if they app just made it more user friendly, such as give a single button

I’ve had this app for a year now and it doesn’t play any sounds anymore. The last update was a year ago. People have asked for stopping the playback of the environmental sounds and I agree, but the developer still hasn’t offered this option. You always have to play an environment, fitting or not, to hear sound FX. This is now a rotted out app with no further innovation applied.
