## What is Hover Engine TryOut?

Add a massive race engine sound to your hoverboard, hoverkart or self-balancing scooter. ALERT: this is so much fun that “silent” hoverboarding becomes hoverboring! *)

Hover Engine works as background app while iPhone is asleep, safely in your pocket. It detects your speed with iPhone’s motion sensors and then generates matching engine sounds automatically. Ideal for use with bluetooth-audio hoverboards, so the sounds really come from your board. With normal, non-audio hoverboards, the iPhone’s powerful internal speaker can be used.

MANUAL MODE (free)
• Play manually, without hoverboard, to try out the incredible deep engine sounds while seeing the cylinders rev up!
• Three different engines, a growling V4, a singing V6 and a massive gasoline gobbling V8 with rattling valves
• Horn sound FX
• Export/save your engine sounds

HOVER MODE (in-app purchase)
• Get on your hoverboard and the engine sound is automatically matched to your driving *)
• Auto throttle, break, gear shift and tire skidding
• Tap your iPhone/pocket to horn or start/stop the engine
• After hovering you can export/save your actual engine sounds, e.g. to edit them in a hover-action movie

Enjoy the ride!

### 5/5 — Hard

*2024-12-25, version 1.0.1*

It was hard to pay for but fun to ride (you can bearly hear the brake)

### 5/5 — Get it for fun

*2024-07-13, version 1.0.1*

It is a app with one little page on it but it is fun to use I like it and I would recommend it if you like cars

### 2/5 — Needs money to work correctly

*2024-03-09, version 1.0.1*

I really wish I could just turn on the app and GO. But apparently I need money for that. I’m not paying just so my hoverboard makes noises.

### 3/5 — Works better than expected

*2023-04-29, version 1.0.1*

It appears noises generated based on phone movement sensors.  Could this also incorporate speed based on GPS, as then it would be useful for faster modes of travel like my e-bike and maybe sound a little more stable too.

### 4/5 — Pretty great

*2022-01-31, version 1.0.1*

I’m lovin it

### 4/5 — You got the engine names backwards

*2021-05-23, version 1.0.1*

This is a fabulous game but the V8 sounds more like a V4, and the V4 sounds more like a V8.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2020-07-18, version 1.0*

I spent $1.99 on this and as soon as I found out it didn’t work I tried to get my refund but it didn’t refund any money 😡😡😡🤬🤬
