When you dive in and play with the Sonic Boom app, you'll build better habits with just a few taps!
The Sonic Boom app is designed to inspire and support DAILY health-habit improvement. It’s a supplement to the Sonic Boom web application, offering on-the-go access to social-recognition tools, at-a-glance views of healthy activities and stats, and ample opportunities to hold yourself (and others) accountable to healthier behaviors. Most importantly, the app is meant to be lighthearted, fun, and socially charged – so go ahead and download it and let’s get to playing!
We'll be adding more of your favorite features (like Contests and Trackers) soon. In the meantime, have fun with these on-the-go activities:
- Catch people bein’ healthy on the fly (with photos!)
- Catch people bein’ UNHEALTHY with our fun new game, “Busted!”
- Post “Healthy Selfies” when you’re feeling extra accomplished (or Bust yourself when you slip up … then get back on track!)
- Add photos of yourself (and others!) doing Challenges-of-the-Day
- Log your Rewards activities and track your progress toward incentives/prizes
- Like and comment on photos with friends, view your activity stats and points earnings, and more!
Want some more info on each of the app’s main programs? Here you go!
CHALLENGE-OF-THE-DAY: Allows you to complete fun, simple health challenges – at work and at home – and share photos across your organization. You’ll earn points for completing, rating, commenting, and sharing photos on each of these energized health challenges.
ACTIVITY STATS: Allows you to track your validated physical activity by linking a wearable device to your Sonic Boom profile. If you have a Striiv device (including the Boomerang), Apple Health App, Apple Watch, Fitbit, Jawbone, Garmin, or other popular fitness device or app, you can sync it to your Sonic Boom profile and view your stats within the app – including personal bests and daily averages.
CAUGHT YA BEIN' HEALTHY: Allows you to "catch" other members practicing healthy habits, and snap a photo in the moment to prove it. You can also post "Healthy Selfies," or share photos of your healthy meals. Caught Ya is designed to provide extra social support and culture improvement. Caught Ya recipients can choose to share their photos publicly to receive recognition and support from others (or choose to keep them private if sharing is not desired).
BUSTED: Similar to Caught Ya, our new “Busted” game allows you to catch other members doing something...ahem...NOT so healthy. The recipient can share the temporary setback publicly, acknowledging that it’s okay to “slip up” or indulge every now and then (as long as we make up for it later!). Self-busting is also encouraged to hold yourself accountable to healthier behaviors!
REWARDS: In addition to feeling healthier and happier, you may also be eligible to earn some cool rewards for engaging in healthy activities (or for achieving certain milestones within the program). And you can track ‘em all in the Sonic Boom app! You can quickly view your at-a-glance progress on the main Rewards page, click into each category to view additional details and instructions, and even log your activities and upload proof if required.
It’s been a loooong time since I’ve been employed by corporate America and I was pleasantly surprised to find that this one tool used to promote health amongst the workforce was actually…cool? (Albeit in a dorky way)Unfortunately it freezes or otherwise acts up on the regular, or rather the irregular, as I there is no rhyme nor reason as to what precipitates the malfunction. But logging back on is cumbersome, often taking several tries, and there is no indication what may not have been recorded pre-crash.So basically a big YES plus a pretty big BUT. Fix the wonky acting up and you’ve got an evangelist. I mean, between this and Oura, my numbers have demonstrably improved, which is the goal!
Should be Sonic Bust!

Why do i need to use a mobile app to log and PC to set up trackers? Some people might not have a PC to set up such trackers. Just have the mobile platform be able to do all tasks needed to set up and participate. And having to input your employee id for tasks completed through the app seems redundant since we had to use that id to set up the app. The former company tracking software was much easier to use on the mobile platform and no need for a pc. Please make the mobile app as accessable as much as the pc platform.
Developer Response
Thank you for this helpful feedback. Our development team is currently working on bringing trackers to the mobile app (releasing soon this year!). We understand and agree that more parity is key in creating the best app experience. Regarding the user ID - Sonic Boom asks for this once at the point of setting up your account (as you mentioned). That second request for an employee ID isn't something our platform asks for. Would you be able to clarify? It may be the way your employer has set up the rewards design in order to track task completions. Thank you again for the feedback.
New and improved!

The old version of the app was limited as far as functionality, but this latest iteration is great because I can now do almost everything I currently do on the desktop site. I personally love being able to track my rewards and goals while on the go - super handy! The Caught Ya feature is still in there, and it’s probably my favorite part of the app because I can interact with my colleagues and we keep each other accountable while working from home. I’m impressed!
Developer Response
Thanks for the positive review, jbosque. We’re glad you're enjoying the new-and-improved features/parity of the app, and we hope it will continue to be a helpful part of your journey to improved wellbeing. Thanks for Boomin' with us!
Solid updates

I thought I liked the old app, but this new version is so much better. It looks just like the website, so things are easier to find and track on my computer and my phone. Looking back I guess it was a little annoying to have to use the app for some things and the website for others. Now I can do pretty much everything from my phone. Thank you for updating and adding more features!
Developer Response
