User Reviews

Boom Remote is a handy macOS/iOS controller for Boom 3D with strong multi-device control, easy pairing, and a free/value-friendly offer. However, it concentrates multiple reliability issues: recurring connectivity problems, older macOS compatibility gaps, stability glitches, and some UX quirks around EQ presets. Documentation and support are limited, which amplifies the frustration for troubleshooting.
Pros
  • Comprehensive remote control over Boom 3D and macOS audio, including volume control for Mac and Boom 3D, per-app volume, EQ/effects, and a mute button.
  • Automatic discovery and easy pairing with Boom devices on the same network.
  • Works in the background for seamless use.
  • Free to use (and reviewers note strong value for the feature set).
  • Intuitive controller concept and UI with all-in-one controls.
Cons
  • Frequent connectivity and device discovery failures across Macs and Windows PCs; devices not found or won’t connect.
  • Compatibility issues on older macOS versions (e.g., High Sierra) and need for system-wide enablement; some users report it simply doesn’t work on older OSes.
  • Stability and reliability problems: crashes on startup or after changes, and loss of functionality over time.
  • UX/preset navigation friction for EQ presets (difficult to reach desired presets, especially at night) and other interface quirks.
  • Limited support and documentation: lack of materials and slow or unresponsive support.

While this app functions well enough, the inability to turn off the flashing light visualizations that respond to the music is a hazard to anyone at risk of light-triggered seizures.

Works perfectly in October 2023! I have an iPhone 14 Pro Max and a MacBook Air M2. It’s controlling both the MacBook volume and the Boom 3D volume (separate controls). I can change the Equalizer settings, adjust Effects (like 3D and Fidelity) and separately control volume for apps like Spotify if playing. I love that it has a mute button! It’s working fine in the background. Not sure yet if it will use memory and/or battery when not near the MacBook or its turned off. May have to manually quit the app, will see. Great app, just what I needed!
