### 3/5 — Needs a toggle for volume normalization

*2026-07-26*

I’ve loved this using this app so far, with all the EQ adjustments I’m able to make, but there’s either some kinda compression or audio volume normalization that can get pretty bad in some songs, especially if there are louder drum hits the volume can dip suddenly and it gets distracting. I would really like to see an option to turn this off or have a slider for it. Thanks

### 2/5 — Can’t use it with Apple Music

*2026-07-20, version 3.2.3*

Great idea for an app. But once I downloaded it I quickly figured out it’s very limited to what you can use it with. No Apple Music was the biggest downfall for this app!

### 4/5 — Bring back Spotify

*2026-05-30, version 3.2.1*

Now that Spotify has been allowing apps to use their platform you should bring back Spotify.

### 4/5 — Love this!

*2026-05-23*

Thank god I can finally be the picky audiophile I am in my phone. Used it on my pc for the longest time and finally decided to buy it on my phone! It's overall awesome, but personally I'd like a "my library" style thing added where you could add albums you already have locally (like those synced from itunes) into a separate "library". Keep up the good work though!!

### 4/5 — Good but flawed

*2026-04-25, version 3.2.1*

Good app with absolutely great sound. My only complaint is that the app starts jumbling some of the songs or repeats no matter what other cut you play. In most cases I have to delete the cut. It doesn’t happen often enough to send me back to Poweramp but at some point it will. In all other respects, it’s a great app.

### 5/5 — 追伸　アプデ

*2026-04-17*

本日修正アップデート(3.2.1)して無事使える様になりました。個人的にこのアプリが1番気に入っているので良かったです。修正ありがとうございました。
アップデートしたら使えなくなった、アプデしてない人は今回(3.2.0)は飛ばした方が良いです。

### 1/5 — ver 3.2 has the worst bugs

*2026-04-15*

26/4/16追記
今朝3.2.1のリリースを確認し、バグの改修を確認。
とはいえ、fixまで約2週間…遅い、遅すぎる。はるかに遅いぜ。くどいようだが使用できないアプリに対する対応が杜撰すぎる。そもそも使えないバージョンをメジャーリリースした挙句ユーザーをテスターに仕立て上げるとかあんまりユーザーをなめんなよ（激憤）
---

26/4/12 追記
おそらくテストバージョンの3.2.1（7）で治ったと思われる。
今朝2時くらいにメールが来たから試した結果な。
即フィードバックしたがその後は連絡なし。
対応に全くスピード感がないし他の方もおっしゃるとおり最悪の対応だと思う（憤怒）
---

他の人も言っているとおり開発は早急に3.2.0の致命的な不具合を修正してください。
一応限定的な回避方法は見つけたが、アプリを再起動すると使えなくなるんで結局クソの役にも立たねーから割愛。

開発にはこの不具合を理解してほしいところやな全く、なあ？（怒）

Disabling the "media & music" access permission allows the UI to be displayed. Naturally, it can't access local music, so enabling it causes the app to hang and crash. This issue started occurring in version 3.2. It's reproducible on all iOS devices: the 17 Pro and 13 mini with iOS 26.4, and the XS Max with iOS 18.7.7, so the iOS version is likely irrelevant.

### 5/5 — Working again

*2026-04-15, version 3.2.1*

Thank you so much for fixing the crashing issue! Can confirm the app is now working again after the latest update.

### 5/5 — I missed Boom

*2026-04-15*

I have been using Boom for a year I think and recently when the app would crash after it opened and I couldn’t use it, I contacted app support and you fixed the issue promptly. I really missed using the app when playing my music and I am so happy I can use it again.
Boom is the Best App for improving the sound of music on iPhone and  music streaming services. You will be amazed.
I highly recommend it

### 5/5 — 30-03-26 Update Broke App v3.2.0

*2026-04-15, version 3.2.1*

I bought this last week for windows, loved it, then bought several windows and macOS licenses (I have several Win11 PCs and Macs). Finally I bought the iOS app. Since the last update the iOS app hangs when I grant access to my iTunes. I have a 500+GB library, if that helps your analysis. I’m bummin’ here without this on my iPhone.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Polyvalence

*2026-07-26*

Non compatible avec Spotify

### 1/5 — Does not work as advertised

*2026-06-29, version 3.2.3*

Restricted from iPhone use due to new regulations popped up on my screen , therefore I have paid for absolutely no difference in sound quality! Does not work at all with Amazon Music either (no option on list).
Waste of time and money!!

### 1/5 — 2017年11月購入したのに

*2026-06-19*

2017年11月当時はサブスクリプションという概念ではなく、360円でこのアプリを購入しました。
アプリバージョンアップ時に不具合がありサポートに問い合わせたところ、インストールし直し「購入を元に戻す」ボタンを押しすよう指示されました。
そうすると、プレミアム会員へアップグレードを要求されます。

問い合わせをしても回答が届くのは数週間後。

アプリを購入しているのに、サブスクリプション画面を提示しろと言われています。

また、アーティスト検索後、アルバム毎に振り分けられず、曲名のみが表示されて非常に不便です。

さらにお金を取ろうとしているのですか？
アルバム毎を振り分けられるよう、バグを修正してください。

### 1/5 — Crashes every time I import an song  please fix on iOS 26 I am switching to another alternative

*2026-05-30, version 3.2.1*

I import an song  it crashes the app please fix this app or else I will delete the app and go for another one

### 1/5 — A waste and an ad trap

*2026-05-28, version 3.2.1*

I have a subscription through Setapp and your iOS app clearly states on Setapp that it’s included with the subscription, but every time I try to activate it the app appears to be programmed to crash instead. Very scammy behavior, for not even that good of an app.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2026-05-11, version 3.2.1*

This app does absolutely nothing to enhance sound whenever I attempted to use the app I was under the impression it would Spotify and other music programs. Which it does not. Also, they lied to you and tell you, you have a three day free trial but once you accept it, you have absolutely no way to cancel the subscription before the three days is up. It doesn’t even show up subscription list. I am extremely unhappy. Now I have to pay. The price of their premium subscription for an app that I don’t even nor works for what I intended.

### 1/5 — NOT AS ADVERTISED

*2026-05-04, version 3.2.1*

Boom is NOT usable with you iTunes library.

### 1/5 — Work for a few month

*2026-04-22, version 3.2.1*

It did work very well after a few month stop working I purchased the lifetime and stop work. Uninstalled and installed several times did not work. Keep your money.

### 1/5 — Don’t install

*2026-04-18, version 3.2.1*

You can’t even add apple music

### 1/5 — 3アーティスト検索後アルバム分けができなくなった！

*2026-04-17*

3.20不具合後、起動できなくなりサポートに連絡したら、テスターを案内され、ユーザが検証機がわりになりました。
4/17にバグが修正されたようで再度アプリをインストールし直し「購入を元に戻す」ボタンを押しても、「無料トライアルが期限切れ！何もできません！3日間の無料トライアルが終了しました。Boomでのミュージック体験が途切れないように今すぐサブスクライブ」を「今すぐ申し込むボタンが表示されます。

有料会員なのにプレミアム会員へアップグレードを要求されます。

また、アーティスト検索後、アルバム毎に振り分けられず、曲名のみが表示されて非常に不便です。

こちらは9年前にこのアプリを360円で購入しています。
直近だと約10倍の3000円です。

### 5/5 — Great EQ

*2026-07-21*

Good EQ interface.  The bass booster and 3d sound option was a nice surprise.  Worth the download and money.

### 5/5 — Still great but miss the show lyrics feature

*2026-07-11*

The ‘show lyrics’ option was nice and I liked how it synced with the song. Hope it comes back in the future 🤞

**Developer response:** Hi there, thank you so much for the rating and review. Please write to us at boomios@globaldelight.com regarding your feature request. Keep Boomin’

### 5/5 — behnam

*2026-07-06, version 3.2.3*

great👍but after update undone

### 5/5 — behnam

*2026-06-18, version 3.2.2*

great👍

### 5/5 — Beautiful App and makes the music sound better

*2026-06-01, version 3.2.1*

Just basically the title. Also, I would love it if this could give me the ability to adjust the speed not in set values, but instead with more sliding ability, like from 1 to 0.85, rather than jumping from 1 to 0.75. I hope I make sense.

### 5/5 — Peak app

*2026-05-28, version 3.2.1*

I replaced Apple Music with this because it can connect to Apple Music AND play audio FILES (I’m the type to do that) and I love all the music features that work LIVE WHILE THE TRACK IS PLAYING (audio files only tho) Plus, the lifetime premium purchase was 90% off the other day so I spent not 50$, not 25$, but 5$ FOR PREMIUM FEATURES FOREVER. I highly recommend this, 5 Stars! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

### 5/5 — 📡🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆📡

*2026-05-10, version 3.2.1*

📡🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆📡

### 5/5 — Good job

*2026-04-22, version 3.2.1*

Used this app for years, it’s been awesome. Today’s update broke it, only crashes, reinstalled, restored purchases, freezes then just crashes. On hold waiting for a fix, otherwise another lifetime subscription in the trash. UPDATE: latest patch fixed the crashing, back in business.

### 5/5 — Amazing Sound and Attentive Developers

*2026-04-19, version 3.2.1*

If I couldn’t have this app, I wouldn’t want to listen to music anymore and there’s no hyperbole there. Everything just sounds incredible when I’m playing my tunes with this absolutely must-have app!

I reported an unexpected error that I encountered and they immediately got to work to fix it. You can’t ask for more than that.

### 5/5 — Crashes on all my devices

*2026-04-17, version 3.2.1*

I am having crashes to on both iPhone iPod and iPad just won’t load. Boom has fixed the problem and now the app is even better, love it!
