good app won't let me update App says no valid path for download when I try to update tracks in the app. It's good even for free users but may need to be used with other tools unless you're going for the membership. I wish there was a way to sample the "open worlds" membership content even if it's for a limited time. I get that it can be difficult to implement without the chance for some users to take advantage.

I very much love this app. It's made my dnd sessions much more immersive. I've had no issues with the interface at all, and it's very intuitive. There's a decent variety of free options and you don't need the subscription for sure. However, I would like to echo some other reviews and request ala carte purchases. I would love to purchase certain ones to keep permanently. Or even a one time payment for all the current scenes.

UI is very intuitive. I enjoy being able to customize the scenes, so I can have the sound I want on the scene I want. Only reason this isn't 5 stars is it's subscription based. I don't DM very often, so paying a monthly bill would be wasteful for me...but I'd be willing to purchase individual downloads. I'd just want some way to sample the download first to see if it matches what I need. If you go to that model, I'd happily drop some money to support the app. Great job overall though!

Thanks for your feedback Jeff! We know our subscription model may not be best for all users. This is why we continue to improve and expand our free fantasy content and keep it ad free! We will have a preview feature in our new mobile app later this year, in the meantime, check out pocketbard.app for audio previews. Thanks again for your review!
