Boom Remote for Negative User Reviews

Doesn’t workThe app doesn’t connect with my wifi..Version: 1.2

Doesn't workUpdated boom 3d on my Mac today and now I can't seem to find my Mac or pair with it through the app.Version: 1.3.2

DisappointedDoes not connect to either my iPhone or iPad. It can find the device. Luckily I don't have to rely on the app for the ue boom 2 to work.Version: 1.2

Was working? No updates?I was using this remote quite fine just not that long ago and now nothing. Why? I will continue to use this really awesome app for my computer but now I have to do stuff and nobody likes have to do stuff. C'mon..Version: 1.2

Won't workJust bought boom2 .Working great on my iPad but the app won't work.Wont find my device therefore don't have benefit of app's features .What do I do ?.Version: 1.2

Doesn’t workIt doesn’t work with a MBP with High Sierra, I emailed asking for a solution and no response. Don’t waste time downloading it..Version: 1.3.1

Doesn't WorkThis app came highly recommended but is a total waste of space and time cos it doesn't work.Version: 1.2

Grief... What a horrid racket!On launch Boom2 takes over your Mac's audio settings. Taking ambient sound measurements without notifying the user how the sound is being captured it starts generating all manner of audio sounds and sounds. Impoently one has to sit and watch the frquency response being maladjusted by some algorithm. A fe wminutes later the Boom 2 sound generator ceases and leaves you staring at a frequency response looking more like the Himalayas than a millpond. Selecting to accept Boom 2's calibrations I was faced with a loud wall of badly distorting sound as all outputs were being driven beyond clipping. Alarmed at just how dreadful Boom 2 made my Mac's audio sound I hit the "fidelity" icon to restore a flat response and rescue my ears from tinnitus. I'm really not sure what this app is trying to do or how it's doing it. I only know the end result is a sound system performing like a room full of dogs and cats mid-strangulation. Clearly, it's going to be a while before I determine whether this app is good or vile..Version: 1.2

Crashes instantly in my iPhone 7 plusI'll add stars if and when there's a fix for the problem..Version: 1.2

Doesn't workIt finds my mac mini but says connection declined.Version: 1.0

Doesn’t workI have boom 2 on my mac and i have the remote on my mac, both connected to same wifi and it says theres new magic in store and then doesn’t connect. I don’t mind the control on the computer but the remote would be nice with it……. pkease fix this issue.Version: 1.2

No EQ adjustGood app with a great music sound effects. Like really great, but this app, although very sweet in its simplicity and function, doesn’t allow EQ adjust. Yea, you can select presets, but you can make your own custom presets and select those with remote. So wet up might be an extra step for the advanced customization. Also, wish advanced had more than 31 frequencies, but it’s pretty good for the sale price. I hope it’s supported for a long time. I do like Boom3D. Looking fwd to finalizing the setup..Version: 1.3.2

This app, she does not work.Satisfied Boom 2 customer here, but this remote app? She does not work. She does not connect to the desktop version (non-app store, in my case) no matter how many reinstalls or variations in the sequence of which starts first I try. Deleted..Version: 1.2

Incompatible versionRemote version 1.2 is incompatible wit Mac version 1.5.. Messages (update boom 2 on your Mac, no device found). Same wifi but it won't work...Version: 1.2

Like the idea, needs a little workI totally understand that this is the very first release of this app, so I don't expect it to work perfect. My main issue is that it doesn't stay connected in the background. As soon as the phone is locked, or the app isn't in the foreground, it disconnects from the computer. I'm not sure if this is an issue on the phone or the computer, but I'm guessing it's the phone since multitasking is more of an issue there. Hopefully this issue gets resolved, but overall, I would rather use this than Apple's default remote app..Version: 1.0

I don't know, won't connect.IOS 12.1.1 and macOS 10.14.2 Boom 3D Boom Remote As soon as I try connecting Boom Remote to Boom 3D on my iMac (27" 2017) Boom 3D freezes and I see the rainbow wheel of horrors. I just cannot get it to work :-(.Version: 1.3.2

Doesn’t work with Boom3DIt worked before with Boom, now it says that my computer refused the connection. There are on the same wifi, I'm using Sierra. Please fix it ! I really like Boom but not when it isn't working!.Version: 1.3.1

No easy system-wide controlThere doesn’t appear to be a simple system-wide volume control like in the previous version. I have to select a file to boost. I want to just amplify the volume overall....Version: 1.2

Does not workDoes not work with the App Store version of Boom2 (despite being connected to the same wifi signal as per the app’s instructions). Can’t speak to whether it works with the version from the website. Boom itself is working well..Version: 1.2

Confused & disappointedDoesn't seem to find the device within the app. The iPhone finds the Boom 2 without drama via traditional means..Version: 1.2

Won’t connectJust won’t connect.Version: 1.3.2

Please fix remoteI've used Boom for years. When I saw the updated App with the ability to use iPhone as remote control I upgraded. But as others mentioned, the remote control feature simply doesn't work. I'm on same wifi network but it says nothing connected. Please fix..Version: 1.2

Doesn’t work on HiSierra?With such a great Mac software I’d think the developers would have fixed this problem? Please fix this for us. Thank you..Version: 1.3.1

RubbishIt does not work on any of the 3 iPads I tried it on.Version: 1.2

Doesnt seem to work once you install boom driverWorked initially then stopped working while configuring boom 2 and completely stooped working once i installed the boom audio driver. This a must for the mac since default acoustics volume on the mac retina volume is pathetically LOW with out BOOM. The remote app needs more work..Version: 1.2

Does not work on High Sierra..Version: 1.3.1

Doesn't workI'm on same wifi and have tried other ones and the app keeps telling me to update Boom 2 on my mac.Version: 1.2

Cool but needs optionIt needs phone Audi for bathroom breaks..Version: 1.3.2

Useless!And NOT safe! Why would people want to burn up their speakers on their expensive MAC books with this thing!!!.Version: 1.2

Doesn't workRemote finds my computer but won't connect. Looking forward to seeing this app working. Well done on the desktop app tho.Version: 1.1

Needs to offer solutionsI installed this after installing Boom3D on my iMac. I tried using it and it said Boom3D was not running system wide. I still haven’t figured out how to make it do so. Their site offers a video titled How to Run Boom3D System Wide, which then only gives a sort of ad of it working thusly. But no instructions on the setting. Frustrating..Version: 1.3.2

BrokenKeeps disconnecting immediately from computer. App deleted!.Version: 1.3.2

ConfusingDoes not work with Boom2 Apple Store version.Version: 1.2

El Capitan broke thisDoes not work in Apple’s new El Capitan software I purchased this after it broke my Boom 1.0 then went to purchase Boom 2 and its NOT WORKING!! Could you folks please fix this or please pay refund back.Version: 1.2

Boom 2 remote does not workHave the latest Boom2 on iMac (v1.5) and iPhone (v1.2) but they don't talk. They're on the same network but just don't see each other. I've restarted both.... it's a bust..Version: 1.2

Does NOT work.Nothing much to say. This app simply doesn't work..Version: 1.2

It simply does not work - complete waste of spaceWhat more can one say for an app that does nothing but take up valuable space without performing its sole function? Despite following the idiot-proof directions, the app simply does nothing. Fix the app..Version: 1.2

Bah!Why not OS 7?.Version: 1.0

I can only hit refresh so many timesThe app literally never connects to Boom on my Mac and in a miracle it does, the connection times out as soon as my cell's screen begins to dim. Please just wait to release apps until they are tested and prove to work more at least 90% of the time..Version: 1.0

Version 1... Not perfectI've been waiting for this app, but... Fix the connection problem, add a Spotify control once that is done... Perfecto!.Version: 1.0

Blew my Mac's SpeakerBought it for use on my phone and mac after a week of using it my macs speaker on the left side stopped working ruining all sound coming from my mac now wouldn't dare using it on my phone......Version: 1.2

Good but needs better preset switchingI really like Boom 2 on the mac. This remote app is a nice bonus, I appreciate it being free. It all actually works really nicely. My main issue is when choosing for an EQ preset. When it's night time, I like to change my EQ to a "bass reducer" preset. The app makes it difficult to just select said preset. I have to scroll through all the other presets (and these presets toggle on while scrolling through) this means I pass the super bass booster presets and get booming bass when I'm trying to get the opposite. So now at night time I have to disturb the neighbors with some booming bass while I'm trying to tame the bass. Not a huge issue but I think the presets feature needs to be re-thought so you don't have to enable every preset in your list just to get to the one on the other side of the alphabet..Version: 1.2

Still needs a lot of workI 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).Version: 1.0

Doesn't workThis remote is useless it doesn't work on iPhone or iPad and friends who have downloaded it say the same. Big disappointment give it a miss..Version: 1.1

Doesn't workI recently bought boom and I love it The boom remote is a big issue as sit does not allow me to connect. I have the full version of boom and I am connected to the WiFi yet it won't connect pls fix this thanks.Version: 1.2

Released too soonThis dev LOVES releasing things before he ought to, compound that with tremendously horrible customer service if you rub him the wrong way and you’re going to find upset customers. So yeah, it’s buggy. Oh well, he’ll get that fixed ASAP, for certain. What’s more, I can’t find a single time when I think I would ever use this. I mean, I want to think I would, but I even already deleted it. I’m glad the dev is at least trying some things after a spectacular money grab with his wonky policies that I want to assume are somehow lost in translation. More importantly, at least he can’t troll twitter and develop at the same time. : /.Version: 1.0

Doesn’t workI installed this on my iPhone 6 and iPad 3 and, with all the criteria satisfied (WiFi ON, Bluetooth ON and Boom 2 launched on the Mac), I get ‘No device found …’ on both devices. It doesn’t help to reboot the iDevice..Version: 1.0

Can't see MBP on iPhoneDoes not see my MBP which is running High Sierra, even though MBP says the Boom Remote is on..Version: 1.3.1

Need version for iPhone.Disappointed. Was hoping we finally got a version for iPhone. Huge let down..Version: 1.0

WHAT THE…?I know Boom 2 is a great app, but please can you update the boom 2 on app stone for mac? I can’t use boom 2 remote to connect my mac after I update it..Version: 1.2

Outdated??Doesn’t work. Won’t find my Mac with High Sierra. There are no support materials for Boom Remote. They just send you to Boom support..Version: 1.3

Not working fullyIPhone 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..Version: 1.3.2

Could be betterIt does work, it lets you change the volume and equalizer but that's it. They could do so much more with it..Version: 1.2

All New Boom AppsUsing El Capitan - I was hesitant to write this until now, even though I am getting (some) help, but not what any person would expect - little, except hours and hous of emails back and forth of why my Boom 2 for Mac seems to completely quit then needs to be reinstalled. The free Extras I was supposed to get for iOS Boom was missed because of the lack of having a working Mac versions as that's where my attention was at the time and now, my remote has gone down again an I can't seem to fix that. I have a Rep helping me, but this has been a wakeful of nightmares. You indicate what is wrong and the answer does not go to the question!.Version: 1.2

Don’t BotherIt doesn’t see my Boom 2 on my mac so it doesn’t work and getting prompts to update my boom 2 because there was no devices found was annoying..Version: 1.2
