Ratings and reviews

The app seems great and very user friendly but $50 is too much for a music app that only has like 50 something songs, especially if its only for a one year subscription. If it was a one time payment I would maybe consider it but a lot of campaigns can go for over a year which means I'd be paying for it multiple times which just doesnt seem reasonable. I want to use this for a sci fi campaign but most of those songs are locked behind the pay wall. Might try the free songs out sometime though.

As a free to play dungeon master I've tried to find something for theme music but free spotify is just bad. This app was a real lifesaver, not only are there themes for almost every scene in a campaign but there are also sound effects like crowds, fighting and way more. The only missing scene themes here are underdark variants to some nature and urban scenes. I wouldn't even mind that mutch if it were a gamepass for this app or something because it already offers so mutch to your world

Ohooo! I have just downloaded this app and I am blown away by the free content. They have 24 free 'scenes' that you can use and you can edit the intensity, they have combat music built in to each scene and even victory music for when the players win battles.The music transitions seamlessly with no stopping. You can also layer ambient sounds over the music for each scene. You want a waterfall in the village, no problem. You want the dark street to be raining, done. And the Tavern music slaps.
