REVBOX

Read full description

REVBOX plays engine sound that follows how you drive. GPS and your phone's motion sensors work together, so the revs climb when you accelerate, drop when you lift off, and shift through a virtual gearbox in step with the car. DRIVE MODE Mount your phone, start the sound, and drive. Speed comes from GPS and the accelerometer combined, and throttle is read from how hard the car is pulling. Press harder and the gearbox kicks down; ease off and it upshifts and settles into a cruise. SIMULATION MODE Try every sound parked: hold the gas and brake pedals on screen and the virtual engine responds. Free for everyone. 50 ENGINE SOUNDS V8, V10, V12, V6, inline-4, inline-6, boxer, rotary, diesel, motorcycles, buses and trucks. Each pack has its own gear ratios, rev range and idle. BEST IN THE CAR Connect with a cable, CarPlay over USB or an AUX lead, for the lowest delay. Some cars buffer Bluetooth audio by one to three seconds, so the sound can lag behind your driving. TRIPS AND BADGES Every drive is logged on your device with distance, route, top speed and a driving score. 30 badges unlock extra engine sounds along the way. REVBOX PRO Free: Simulation mode and three engine sounds. Pro unlocks Drive mode and all 50 sounds. • Lifetime: $69.99, one payment, no renewal • Annual: $49.99 per year • Monthly: $9.99 per month Prices may vary by region. Subscriptions are charged to your Apple Account and renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel in Settings > Apple Account > Subscriptions. Keep your eyes on the road. Set up the sound before you drive.

You don't just watch a car anymore. You feel it. MotorPulse reads a car engine's acoustic signature in real time and translates it into precision vibrations through your iPhone. Every rev, every idle, every redline, felt through your hands. When it revs you feel it build. When it settles you feel it calm. When it hits redline your phone comes alive. It's the first app that lets you feel an engine, not just hear it. WHY EVERY ENGINE FEELS DIFFERENT Every engine has its own fingerprint. A big block V8 feels nothing like a flat-six. A muscle car idle feels nothing like an exotic at full song. MotorPulse captures that character, the fundamental frequency and the overtones unique to each car's displacement, cylinder count, exhaust, and tune. You can feel the difference between cars with your eyes closed. THE GARAGE Launch with hand-picked iconic builds, including a Ruffian Mustang and a 1973 Black Pantera. Feel them free, the moment you download. More legendary cars are on the way, dropping into the garage as the collection grows. FEEL YOUR OWN CAR Upload any car video from your phone and feel your own build come alive. Your daily driver, your project car, that exotic you filmed at a cruise night. If you have video of it, you can feel it. HOW IT WORKS MotorPulse uses Apple's Taptic Engine and real-time audio analysis to read the engine hundreds of times per second. Louder engine, stronger vibration. Higher RPM, sharper feel. It works with iPhone camera videos and downloaded clips alike. Best experienced on iPhone 13 and newer. NO SUBSCRIPTIONS You pay once and own it forever. No monthly fees, no recurring charges. Unlock uploads and the full garage with a single one-time purchase. Inspired by the moment audiences first felt an F1 car through their seats, MotorPulse brings that experience to everyday car culture. Resto mods, classics, exotics, muscle, cruise nights. The cars that deserve to be felt, not just seen. Download it. Feel it. You won't believe it's coming from your phone.
