About Songs & Dragons

Songs & Dragons make it easy to introduce music on your games by using the portability of a phone or a tablet and the convenience of a touch screen. Create scenes and events and activate and deactivate them with a single touch. Say goodbye to bringing a cumbersome laptop to your game table when all you need is at the touch of a finger.

WARNING: This app DOES NOT come with preloaded audio or image files. It is a tool to organize and use YOUR collection, the donation version comes with a link to download some files to help get you started. More info bellow.

Some advanced features include:
- Copying events between scenes;
- Doing a backup from your scenes and events, so you can change your ROM or device without the fear of losing all your work;
- Multi-selection of audio files, with the ability to preview them while searching;
- Looping events with random wait times between them, to create a very natural feeling;
- The Stage, allowing you to play up to five scenes at once;
- Global events, common to all scenes;
- Background playing, so you can check that PDF without fear of the app being killed by the android system;
- UI that feels and looks Android;
- Rich notifications (only supported on 3.0+);
- Tablet and ICS-optimized.

A small guide on how to use the app with screenshots, can be seen here: http://bit.ly/18RFDw9

Songs & Dragons does not contain any sounds, images or any kind of database. It is merely a tool to help you organize your own library and easily use it during gameplay.

This app will be free and ad-free forever! But if you want, you can get the donate version which, apart from making the developer a little bit closer to his plan of world domination, comes with a link for downloading a .zip file containing copyright-free images and audio. More details on its own page.

Permissions:
- Write to SD card: to save the backup file.
- Internet: used for bug reporting. More info: http://bit.ly/13zhJwE

by L####:

Unfortunately, there are some issues and the dev seem to have abandoned the App so it will never be fixed. That said, it's the best sound board a GM might get. It does the job!

E70%
by E####:

This is a must have if I am DM. I had it on my tablet for a long time and loved it. I'm glad I rediscovered it for my phone. Buggy af and not great for the tablet. But the best free app for the job.

Some issues and sadly not supported anymore but the only app of its kind that enables you to create scenes from your own media files and play multiple tracks at once.

Did not realize that it did not come with its own sounrd....>=(

A70%
by A####:

No updates since 2013, barely works

D70%
by D####:

Why

F70%
by F####:

And I don't mean that in praise of simplicity. There really is nothing to this. You might as well just make your music/sound lists and run through any other player already present on your device.

M70%
by M####:

When I tried to listen to music it would make me make a scene so if you don't know how to use it don't get it.

M70%
by M####:

This app is perfect for DMs wanting to add music and sound effects to the game table. To be noted however, is that you need to provide your own sound files. This app allows you to manipulate music and sounds you already have a copy of, but if you think that isn't very good compared to something with built-in sounds, think again! This app has much more utility and customization than other apps that simply give you lots of tiny buttons that play individual sounds but are a pain to hunt through.

by M####:

Despite the Dev abandoning this app, this is a treasure piece for all DM's out there, it simply does what you always needed... You can take your collection of musics, sounds and ambience and start using right away... It is very simple, so you don't need to waste time to change scenes, and your players will be pleased. I didn't use music in my games before this app, but thanks to this now I do, and in my opinion, the only way to do so...

I have not messed with it but i notice when i go to pick music, spotify was not a choice...

I was looking for an app like this thank you very much

All it does is categorize music you already have.

How to make it work i don't no

M70%
by M####:

Didn't come with music or any sounds, so it's relatively useless

G70%
by G####:

Great app if you actually know how to use it unlike most reviewers who complain that it does nothing. Sadly it's been abandoned by the dev, no updates in the longest time and it crashes constantly for me now on my devices.

D70%
by D####:

Has nothing, so does nothing. No music. Better apps available.

T70%

I am feeling Nise

C70%
by C####:

...nothing

S70%
by S####:

Changing the volume of a sound effect is not easy, and effects on loop are not necessarily gapless. On certain tablet sizes (Nexus 7), you are forced into portrait mode.

S70%
by S####:

Needs Google Play Music support and maybe SoundCloud support.

S70%
by S####:

The in-app help link is broken

S70%
by S####:

The only thing missing is a way to transition the scenes without stopping playback. Otherwise, an awesome app, exactly what I was looking for.

A70%
by A####:

Agree with other reviews. This app is for organizing your sounds. This is just another step added to the difficulty of bringing sounds into a game.

H70%
by H####:

Breathes life into pencil and paper roleplaying in an incredible way. With the right sounds, this would work for any setting imaginable. If you are a DM/Storyteller/Narrator, you don't just want this, you NEED this.

N70%
by N####:

This app would be great if it would work. All the sounds deleted themselves. Epic fail to whoever made this app.

X70%
by X####:

there's no music with this app!

S70%

It doesn't do anything. No music or sound fx included.

Great, GREAT idea, just implemented quite poorly.

W70%
by W####:

Not what I expected. Very useless

K70%
by K####:

I was surprised it didn't come with music (or links to music), but that was just a minor irritation for me since I could just use it to organize what I did have. Unfortunately, it's a convoluted trail to get stuff added and organization isn't as simple as it should be. It's an empty app, like buying giant tupperware at the store to organize your dice! Useless!
