Syrinscape Fantasy Player 9+

First try and the app was great. Neat sounds though hard to sort through.

So I subscribed (free first month) and things just got worse. Sounds wouldn’t play, the start up would freeze, and it was so hard to organise. There was I hoping to add flavour to a new campaign but it didn’t work.

I deleted and reinstalled but it remained buggy.

The app needs to be simplified. The artwork is great, but so what if the prime use is sounds and they get clogged up by the bulk of the app.

Hours spent trying to get the app working but in the end it was just way too frustrating.

How would I improve it?

Organise the sounds by theme (urban, wilderness, dungeon etc). If you’re running a pre-made adventure it’s okay but what if you doing a homebrew or players are on a tangent?

Clean up the interface and get fit easy to use - the artwork is good but what the apps purpose? Sound effects, so simplify the art.

Make the opening interface easy to get to the soundboard - too much is about subscription even after you subscribe! The app’s layout logic has to be addressed.

In all, neat sounds buried under the rubble of a clunky interface.

Brilliant idea but Needs to be simpler. Get rid of all the confusing artwork, I’m just after the sound effects. I was frustrated after 20 mins of attempting to register as there wasn’t a way of accessing the registration page from the log in, 2 others tried in the group, we gave up, good idea though.

Syrinscape is a cool service that lends loads of atmosphere and potential to your role playing game sessions. But the iOS app needs a lot of work to bring it up to parr and results in a disappointing product.

The UI is slow, clunky, and buggy. Sometimes sounds refuse to play and require re-installing to work. And it looks pretty poor (looks aren't everything but people shop with there eyes). Considering to get the most use out of this you need to pay a subscription plan, I think you could provide a better user experience...
