    Real Users, Real Reviews: What DMs and Players Actually Think About Loreify

    Taking notes during a TTRPG session can feel like a necessary evil. As a DM, you're juggling monster stats, NPC voices, and whatever wild curveball your players just threw at you. As a player, you want to stay locked into the story—not scribbling in a notebook or typing on your phone.

    What if you could capture every detail, every joke, and every important plot point without stopping the flow of the game?

    That's the whole idea behind Loreify.

    But you don't have to take our word for it. We asked real users—both Dungeon Masters and players—to share their honest thoughts after using Loreify in their actual campaigns. From someone just two weeks in, to DMs who've run a dozen sessions with it, here's what they had to say.

    First Impressions: A New User's Two-Week Test Drive with Martin

    What does it feel like to use Loreify for the first time?

    Martin walks through his experience after about two weeks of using the app. He talks about the features that surprised him (in a good way), a few things that could be smoother, and the tools he's most excited to see evolve.

    ✨ Martin's Key Takeaways:

    • •Surprisingly accurate: The AI session summary gets about 90% of the session right straight away, which really impressed him.
    • •Actually keeps things organized: Features like Active Quests and Reminders for Next Session make it much easier to track plot hooks and character goals.
    • •Easy to share with the group: Generating PDFs or sharing direct links to the session notes makes it simple to keep everyone on the same page.
    • •Understands your table: Loreify does a solid job telling the difference between player characters and NPCs in the transcript.
    • •Fun extras: The Chaos Goblin Meter, Murder Hobo Chart, and Session Bingo are fun little add-ons that make post-session recap something people actually want to look at.

    🔧 Areas for Improvement & Wishlist:

    • •He's excited for deeper integration of upcoming features like the Lore Map and AI Chat.
    • •He'd love multi-user access to a single campaign and more options like being able to change passwords himself.
    • •The live recording feature didn't work great for him—uploading pre-recorded audio was more reliable in his experience.

    A Game-Changer for Players: The Bard's Take with Dylan

    Loreify isn't only for DMs.

    Dylan, a D&D player who runs a Bard, talks about how much he hates taking notes—but loves remembering details. Loreify has basically become his memory bank, helping him pull off better callbacks and roleplay moments without feeling like a secretary at the table.

    ✨ Dylan's Key Takeaways:

    • •Stays fully immersed: Instead of pausing to type or write, he gets to stay glued to the roleplay and trust Loreify to catch everything in the background.
    • •Quick recap after sessions: A few minutes after uploading the session audio, he gets a breakdown of NPCs, quests, and moments he might've forgotten.
    • •Perfect for storytellers: For Bards or any character who leans heavily on story and memory, having a searchable log of what's happened so far is huge.
    • •Easy to pick back up: When it's time for the next session, the summary makes it super simple to remember exactly where things left off.

    🔧 Areas for Improvement & Wishlist:

    • •His big request: direct YouTube link support, so he can upload from his group's YouTube videos without first converting them to MP3.

    Streamlining Prep: A DM's Review After 12+ Sessions

    For a lot of DMs, the most painful part of a session is the first 10 minutes: "So… what happened last time?"

    In this review, Jack, a DM who has used Loreify for over a dozen sessions explains how that entire problem basically disappeared once he started using the app. It's now part of his normal prep routine—and something he calls "absolutely fantastic" for his workflow.

    ✨ Key Takeaways for DMs:

    • •Summaries come fast: He loves that he can get a full, detailed summary roughly 30 seconds after the recording is processed.
    • •No more recap roulette: Instead of relying on fuzzy player memory, he just checks the Loreify summary and jumps straight into the session.
    • •Everything in one place: It gives him what he needs as a DM—timelines, loot tracking, NPC lists, memorable quotes, and combat breakdowns.
    • •Great for absent players: If someone misses a session, they can read through the notes and quickly catch up without the rest of the group rehashing everything.

    🔧 Areas for Improvement & Wishlist:

    • •Sometimes the AI misspells unique character or place names, which means he has to do a quick cleanup pass.
    • •He'd like the Memorable Quotes feature to better capture fast back-and-forth dialogue between multiple speakers.

    Freedom to Create: How Loreify Helps a DM Stay in the Moment

    Running a session is a lot of mental overhead.

    Patrick, another DM, talks about how Loreify's biggest benefit is mental freedom. Instead of worrying about documenting everything, he gets to fully focus on pacing, character moments, and making the session fun for his players.

    ✨ Patrick's Key Takeaways:

    • •Brain space reclaimed: Not stressing about notes lets him fully lean into the creative side of DMing—improv, storytelling, and reacting to his players.
    • •Custom name recognition: He really likes being able to preload custom names (PCs, NPCs, locations, etc.) so the AI recognizes and transcribes them more accurately.
    • •Keeps long-term stories on track: Features like Unresolved Threads and quest summaries make it easier to remind players what they're working toward.
    • •Players actually enjoy the notes: His table loves the Chaos Goblin Meter, Session Bingo, and other playful elements—it turns "session notes" into something fun to look at together.

    🔧 Areas for Improvement & Wishlist:

    • •He'd love tighter integration between the main session dashboard and other Loreify tools (like the NPC or Magic Item generators), so he doesn't have to bounce between different pages as much.

    Ready to Upgrade Your Campaign?

    Looking across all these reviews, there's a clear pattern: Loreify helps DMs and players save time, remember more, and stay immersed in the story. It doesn't replace your creativity—it supports it, so you can focus on playing instead of paperwork.

    There's still plenty we're improving and building (and feedback like this is exactly what guides us), but many users are already calling it an essential part of their game night.
