Rubbish

Great idea but none of the sounds sound anything like an engine. There is no bass whatsoever. How hard would it have been to put in any straight forward engine sound. Waste of money!

FAQ

What does iBoost do?

iBoost simulates the sounds of turbo-charged cars, making your vehicle sound like it has a turbo. It features authentic sound packs from 16 real turbo cars and provides dynamic sound responses based on your driving actions like accelerating and shifting.

What are the key features of iBoost?

Key features include 16 authentic turbo car sound packs, realistic sound effects that respond to your driving (compressor surge, wastegate, blow off), 8 photorealistic boost gauges that function like real ones, and a night mode for gauge illumination. It also includes a supercharger whine feature and new WRX anti-stall sounds.

How much does iBoost cost?

The app is free to download and use, but it offers in-app purchases. These purchases likely unlock additional sound packs, gauge styles, or other premium features.

Is iBoost compatible with my car?

The app's compatibility is with mobile devices (specifically mentioned as iPhone in one testimonial), not directly with your car's mechanics. It uses your device's speakers to play the sounds and display gauges on your screen.

What are common use cases for iBoost?

Common use cases include enhancing the driving experience by simulating turbo sounds, entertaining oneself and others while driving, and for car fans to enjoy the sounds of various performance vehicles. It's recommended to play through your car's stereo for a more immersive effect.
