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! André rodotti.com *) COMPATIBLE with all hoverboards, no additional hardware is needed. Sounds are based on motion estimates via iPhone sensor measurements. REMEMBER: always drive safely, and keep your iPhone securely in your pocket while driving.

RevIt is a car engine sound simulator for iPhone. You start a car's engine, press a virtual gas pedal and shift a 6-speed manual gearbox while the app generates the engine sound live in real time. It includes 25+ cars with V8, V10, V12, inline-6, flat-6, boxer and rotary engines. DRIVE MODE – THE ENGINE SIMULATOR Every engine sound is generated live, not a recorded loop. The sound reacts to exactly how hard you press the pedal, so no two revs sound the same. • Gas and brake pedals – press to rev, slide down to floor it • 6-speed manual gearbox – shift the H-pattern stick straight or diagonally • Rev counter, speed and gear readout with a rev limiter • Pops and bangs when you lift off the throttle, plus Straight Pipe mode for a louder exhaust • Haptic feedback that pulses with the engine • Realistic performance – each car matches its real-world 0–100 km/h time and top speed • Hold the revs at the limiter too long and the engine blows, so you have to start it again 25+ CARS, EVERY ENGINE TYPE • Cross-plane and flat-plane V8 muscle and track cars • V10 and V12 supercars • JDM cars: turbo inline-6, rotary and inline-4 • Boxer-4, flat-6 sports cars and an Italian V6 Tap the heart to save cars to your garage.
