It allows you to stream and eq music from SoundCloud and your Dropbox account without the need for storage on your device. From the reviews: EXCELLENT PROGRAM I connect my iphone 4 to a car audio system, with the application the music began to sound incomparably better .... A little clear interface, but to understand it and understand need no more than 5-10 minutes. -- P_S_B_ *** LOVE IT This is the EQ I have been looking for, and because of bad ratings I almost passed on it! I consider myself an aspiring audiophile and have the equipment -- Klipsch, Sunfire, Nottingham, Denon, Paradigim, etc. -- (and debt) to back it up. This EQ performs flawlessly and is very easy to use. It enhanced my music dramatically. Yes, dramatically! Just make sure you are running the recommended IOS, as the developer suggests. -- J. Paul DiMaggio *** PLEASE if you have concerns or encounter problems with the app: post on http://www.audioforge.ca and we will explain how things work, until you can use all the features of the app to the fullest. Thank you

Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Boki N Anene at Free against Equalizer's $3.99. Boki N Anene also leads on rating (5.0 vs 3.3) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 18.0). Equalizer's advantage is ratings volume (140 vs 1) and update cadence (every 2 months vs every 7 months). On ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
