With version 2.0 you can now play sessions in fantasy, Cthulhu (19th/20th century) as well as futuristic settings. You’ll be able to find music and sounds for all sorts of stories, not only european medieval style fantasy – and we’re always adding new stuff!

It’s really simple. Inside of SoundTale, you can open an online room. You’re players only need the free version of the app – then they can join your room in the built in SoundTale receiver.

In SoundTale, the music is not divided into songs - you can choose from over 50 different musical moods. The moods are called ‘calm’ or ‘creepy’ etc. Once you select a mood, a never ending flow of fitting music starts. We’ve composed a huge amount of short music parts that will be put together in many different combinations to avoid repetitiveness. Our music is handcrafted and we are NOT using AI, as we think that music should be valued as a human art.

On Android and Windows, the app can run in the background. There are some really old phones that can have slight problems with it, though. If you experience a problem, the first thing to check would be the power saving options of your device. There, you can allow background activity for the app. However, the SoundTale receiver on Android does not work properly in the background. Sadly, on iOS the app doesn’t work in the background.

Not yet, but in the future we want to add this to the app. Please note that this is really not the main concept of the app – it’s meant to be an all in one package.

In general, using it for pen&paper streams is possible. But there are a few requirements. Please write us a mail to contact@soundtale.net or via our Discord server – don’t worry, we’re happy to hear from you! Do not use it without talking to us about it first.

Don’t worry, you can get a free trial account in the app. You can then try everything the app has to offer for 3 days – enough time to get to know the features and probably use it in your upcoming session. After the free days, you’ll still be able to use the demo version of the app, including app to app streaming.

At the moment, you can get SoundTale accounts via the app in the Google PlayStore and the iOS AppStore. There you’ll find two options – a monthly paid, and a yearly paid one.

We have been struggling with this for a long time. As we do have server costs and the app is always expanding, we have continuing costs and work to do. We want SoundTale to thrive in the future & we want to be able to provide it the support needed. That’s why we’ve decided to go for a fair priced subscription model with the update for version 2. Old users will not be charged again, of course.

Using accounts for Soundtale makes it easier to access the app and your account no matter where you go – you simply need the free downloadable version of SoundTale. On top of that, you can save your in app settings online and load them on another device once you’re logged in.

Yes, you can use your account on all of your own compatible devices. Please note that, like with most account systems, only one device can be logged in at a time.

No, you don’t. You know why? Because it would suck. We’ve made it possible to play offline for some time before you’re asked to log in again.

No, they don’t. The DM needs an account, the others can join you without. The receiver is built into the app which can be downloaded for free.

Make sure that you’re all using the same version of SoundTale. The app version can be seen in the left corner of the main menu.

Store versions can be updated inside the store. If you’re using the website version for Windows, you can find the neewest version in the download section.

First, check the mute buttons on your device (iPhones do have one, for example) and the volume sliders in the settings menu. Next, make sure not too many apps are open while using SoundTale. As there’s a lot of music and sounds in there, the app needs to load a lot of data into the RAM. If that doesn’t work, restart the app or the phone. If you still experience problems, you can unload some music styles you don’t need in your session by holding down on the music style buttons in the music menu. This can help your phone managing all the data.

If you experience a problem, the first thing to check would be the power saving options of your device. There, you can allow background activity for the app. As the exact settings are different on every phone model, you might need to play around with these a little and see which one works.

We know about this problem but it keeps appearing on some systems.

You can write us at contact@soundtale.net – we’re thankful for your bug reports! For Android: Please send us the name of your phone or tablet model and your android version, too.
