Description
The Boom Remote is a companion app for Boom 2 and Boom 3D, the most popular system-wide audio booster for Mac. With the Boom Remote on your iPhone or iPad (iOS 9 and later), you get to wirelessly control your favorite Boom 2 and Boom 3D features in addition to other well known Mac apps like Spotify, VLC, QuickTime and iTunes. Simply connect your iPhone or iPad to the same WiFi network as your Mac and watch the magic unfold!
This remote gives you the convenience of being able to wirelessly change the volume, toggle equalizers and effects as well as control playback on other Mac media apps from anywhere in your home. The best part is that you only need to have Boom 3D installed on your Mac for you to enjoy these features from the comfort of your seat.
The Boom Remote can:
• Control Boom's volume as well as your Mac's default volume
• Change Boom's Equalizers and Effects
• Access playback controls of Spotify, VLC, QuickTime and iTunes on your Mac
This app is perfect for when you’re away from your Mac and watching a movie, playing and changing tracks and just about any other situation where you simply want to wirelessly control your favorite Boom features.
Note: Boom Remote runs only when paired with Boom 2 (v1.2.1) and later and Boom 3D (V1.1) and later on the Mac.
*** Boom 3D is an audio app for Mac (10.10.3 and later) that enhances any audio to make it sound much more optimized. With an intelligent algorithm, Boom 3D personalizes audio to perfectly fit the type of Mac in use; be it the MacBook Pro, MacBook Air, iMac etc. Please search for Boom 3D on the Mac App Store for more details ***
What’s New
Version 1.3.6
Since it’s now possible to turn on multiple effects at once (in the latest version) of Boom 2 and Boom 3D, we've tweaked the interface on the Boom Remote to match!
- You can now turn on and turn off multiple effects via the Boom Remote app.
We really hope you enjoy the app updates, and the new and improved Boom Remote :)
Ratings and Reviews
Still needs a lot of work
I appreciate that this is a new release, but the app is not very reliable in it’s present state.
Most importantly the app only appears to work when it is the active app on the iPhone, if you hit the home button the app disconnects from Boom 2 on your Mac, even turning the screen off disconnects it. So it basically does not work in background mode.
Integration with VLC and iTunes seems good, any changes made in the app are reflected instantly on the Mac, equaliser & volume changes are instant. You can control the volume of both Boom2 and the Mac native speaker volume.
One nice feature is the background of the app is animated and it reacts with the volume coming from the connected Mac (think a visualiser type thingy)
I guess my main gripe would be the lack of background operation on the iPhone, if Global Delight get this bit sorted then I would give it 4 stars, if they sorted the inconsistent operation it would be a 5 star rating.
One last thing, before the app will connect, you have to allow it to from the Mac (a pop up allows you to do this)
Useful
It’s a really useful addition to Boom 3D. It solves the problem of not having a remote control on my monitor that I watch TV from my Mac on. So it’s a simple way of adjusting the volume.
But it seems like the connection between the app and the Boom 3D client gets lost every now and again. So I have to uninstall this app and reinstall it again, and make a new connection. Which seems to fix it.
It would be good to be able to reset the connection from within the app so I don’t have to reinstall it.
Not working fully
iPhone SE, MacBook Pro 16” 2019, all I can do is turn volume up or down. No start, pause, next track etc. I have to start music from the Mac. Says I need to give permission to control Mac in “automation”...it’s not there. It’s in “accessiblilty”... but that doesn’t work! Very disappointed.
