What's New in Boom Remote

1.3.6

May 15, 2023

Since it’s now possible to turn on multiple effects at once (in the latest version) of Boom 2 and Boom 3D, we've tweaked the interface on the Boom Remote to match! - You can now turn on and turn off multiple effects via the Boom Remote app. We really hope you enjoy the app updates, and the new and improved Boom Remote :)

Flashing Lights That Are Unable to Be Disabled

While this app functions well enough, the inability to turn off the flashing light visualizations that respond to the music is a hazard to anyone at risk of light-triggered seizures.

Completely unusable.

I was excited to download this as Boom 3D has been awesome for years but this app is insane. It paired seamlessly but when I tried to use it to control things there was immense lag and then it locked up, locking up my computer audio as well. I would change the level on my laptop and it would jump back to where this app’s screen was frozen at. I then tried swiping up and down quickly and after a few seconds it unfroze and began to swipe wildly without me touching it, again overriding the controls on my MacBook. I quit the app to get it to stop but it persisted for a little bit and then finally it stopped but my MacBook was locked at louder than it was when I started this fiasco, even at the lowest audio setting on the computer. Will be uninstalling this and possibly Boom 3D to try to get my MacBook’s volume levels back to normal.

Works perfectly iPhone to MacBook Air M2

Works perfectly in October 2023! I have an iPhone 14 Pro Max and a MacBook Air M2. It’s controlling both the MacBook volume and the Boom 3D volume (separate controls). I can change the Equalizer settings, adjust Effects (like 3D and Fidelity) and separately control volume for apps like Spotify if playing. I love that it has a mute button! It’s working fine in the background. Not sure yet if it will use memory and/or battery when not near the MacBook or its turned off. May have to manually quit the app, will see. Great app, just what I needed!
