DMDJ App Reviews

This app is absolutely amazing. However, I request one simple (but vital) feature. If you could add the ability to keep the sound fx and music playing out of the application itself, It would help me immensely. This is absolutely paramount, as I need this particular feature before I start DMing my next campaign. Much appreciated.

This is a really nice app. It would be beyond nice if I could use the rest of my iPad at the same time. But I cant, because this doesnt run in the background.

After setting up my stereo system (7.1 Dolby THX) around the gaming room table, added ambient lighting and strobe effects for lightning with a 15" remote subwoofer, the stage was set. My players were very impressed and commented this app helped make for an unforgettable game session. The app provides the base, you must build the environment to make it come ALIVE!

Look at Tubajoes comments, they are exactly how I (and many of my dm friends) feel. Having these features would complete the app as perfect.

So I didnt even look into this app. Bought it off a recommendation only to find out it has to be connected to an external audio output. Its great unless I want to, you know, go anywhere with it besides my home audio setup, or pack an audio setup around with me, in which case I would just use a more powerful program on my laptop that I dont need to sync playlists across devices for. Great soundboard...just thought Id be able to be mobile with it...since...you know, its a mobile app. Let me play it through my wimpy iPad speakers if I want!

Interface issues fixed, lots of new content, but theres a HUGE bug if you import your own sound tracks. The same single custom music track will play on every one of the snapshots, no matter what you have selected and saved previously.

The audio mixer doesnt work. At all. The three presets work. But the actual sliders dont do anything no matter what setting theyre on. Will update once I test every aspect.

Update: 5.22.15 new build froze on main screen. Deleting app and re-downloading app fixed problem. Great new improvements and added content. No other atmosphere sound app like it for tabletop RPGs. Original review.This apps has some nice functions, the background sounds and music are nice. There are some major problems with the user interface though. You can turn off the music but not the background sounds? Needs a big sound off button. The app looks nice visually but the interface is really confusing. Great functionality but user interface needs to be totally rethought.

Id really love to be able to stop the background noise/environment sounds, or at least mute them. I enjoy the app more for the sound effects. I really love the new favorites list, however!

Ok I like what they tried to do here. However, this App is not at all easy to learn. The users guide is 28 pages long not counting about 28 images. Warning be ready to invest a lot of time learning and that is learning a system I think should be done much easier. I have gone through the YouTube tutorial and the written users guide 2 times and still have not found a way to "zero" out the environment sound, its frustrating because I want to to silence the annoying environment and weather and just play sound effects. If this app gets the ability to silence the environment sound and still have the FX sounds going on. I would rate it much higher.

I really like this app! It helped me create the realistic atmosphere I was looking for as a dungeon Master. It is even better now that they have released the update patch. I really love all the new sound effects and background environment sounds.

It is an excellent solution to enhance any table top RPG experience. Continuously develops app and listens to user feedback.

After searching youtube for playlists for nearly an hour, I decided to go to the app store and try my luck. This is by far even better than I expected! Great library of loops, easy interface, and a good mix of fantasy and modern. Highly recommended for fellow gamers and dms!!

This app is absolutely fantastic! Its the ONLY app of its kind. I purchased 3 years ago, and the guys at Blueface games are STILL adding sounds and updates. If you run a tabletop game, you can add dimensions of immersion that would just be impossible otherwise.

Lots of good, evolving sounds at your disposal with this app. Paired with character soundboards for players and enemies, Ill have the ultimate ambience.

This app is pretty fantastic. The content is great and the price is perfect. Other similar apps have subscription fees which I am not a fan of. My only criticism is the app interface. It is much improved but still feels a bit confusing and very dated. I have to dig down into two layers of menus to find sound effects that I want. Again, this app is amazing, but I think the next update should focus on a complete revamp of the interface, throw it out and start from scratch. A tight modern ui would make turn this app into something every DM owns.

As above so below

I got this for two reasons. The snap shot capturing music sounds etc for a quick chain effect. Also being able to add my own music was appealing. Sadly the snap shot effect doesnt work well. I made about 11 all together so could quickly select items. I was only able to do about 2 snap shots till it got stuck in a loop. Little disappointed.

Not being able to stop the environmental sounds makes this app a hassle. I dont want to have to close it just to stop the sounds. YMMV but I wish Id spent my money elsewhere.

Could be great app if it had a stop button. No clue why this was released without such a basic feature. Even closing the app and reopening does not reset the sound.
