Boombox.io

I love the idea of this app, but the execution needs some work. The UI and interactions are pretty clunky and cumbersome at times. Versioning is difficult to understand. Can’t share single songs from a playlist. Why do I have to log in almost every time I use the app? Would be nice, too, if I could comment on a timestamp in a track without playing it (would be nice if the commenting took similar visual cues from SoundCloud, how you can see and add comments without leaving the wav file view). Also disappointing that they’re taking away most of the free features before, imo, the app is performing at a level to warrant forced upgrades. That said, I do plan on using it for music collaboration for the foreseeable future, as it streamlines the process without needing to share DAWs or deal with ads like some of the alternatives. Fingers crossed they will be vigilantly and actively making both dev and design improvements over the next year!

Ok so they updated the browser version with the AI Tools. When the AI Tools first came out, they were free. Even for the free users who may is on the fence of usin boombox as a tool. I used it one time, when I decided to come back a few months later, them tools were gone. I can’t remember if they eva had it on the app version. I contacted customer service about this back in February, they acted like I didn’t know wut I wuz talkin bout. Now out of no where, the AI Tools are back. But this time you gotta pay eitha for a monthly plan or for the credits themselves, in order to use the tools. I ain’t mad at the hustle. But you would think that folks who have a monthly plan, would automatically get those tools. I kno idk how much credits each tool would cost to use. Yet y’all haven’t updated the app with the AI Tools. Yall can have that two stars. I didn’t like how it was there one day, then gone, made to look like I’m a dumb asz, n still ain’t update the app.

As a product designer I was so disappointed in the app at first. That all changed today. Optimized for larger screens, scrubbing capabilities, nicer UI all around. Great feature updates overall and a unified design system that looks great. Only thing I’d like to see is an easy casting capability, but you can always mirror or do it from control center. Great work!
