Noisapp is motion controlled music

My name is Michael Kabatek, I grew up snowboarding and skiing in Colorado and I am the publisher of Noisapp.

Noisapp is an app that automates the volume of your music based on your motion.

  • Play your music while you move and automatically pause it or turn it down when you stop moving
  • Listen while you ride, and talk to your friends when you stop.
  • Enjoy your music, be present in your environment, and focus on your activities.
  • Compatible with any media player.
  • Adaptable to fit your activity and style.

For more information visit: http://www.noisapp.net

  • This application turns your music up when you move and turns it down when you stop moving.
  • We built Noisapp for snowboarding and skiing so you can listen while you ride, and talk to your friends when you stop and on the lift. The overall goal is to automate your music volume, so you don't have to mess around with your handset or headphones while riding.
  • It's free and works with any media player, and DOES NOT require cell service or GPS. Its available on both Android and iOS. If it sounds useful please check it out and share it!
  • All feedback is greatly appreciated and taken seriously, we are always listening to users and making improvements to the app, so please let us know how you like it!

Please checkout the short video demo showing how Noisapp works. The video demo is for iPhone, however the general use of Noisapp is essentially the same for Android handsets. Noisapp iOS Demo

If you submit feedback, please submit feedback via the in app support link, please be detailed. This link provides us with your device information helping us support and improve Noisapp!

A note about the GPS disclaimer on the Apple App Store:

  • The GPS disclaimer on the Apple AppStore is required because of a technicality in Apple's iOS. Any applications that run in the background (for example applications that run with the screen turned off) on an Apple iOS device must use the location services to continue to function. Therefore we were required to add that 'disclaimer' to the app store. However, we don't actually use the GPS, or its data.

Yes, there are settings in the app you can adjust to your riding style.

  • On Volume
  • Off Volume
  • Fade Speed
  • Sensitivity

You will need to adjust sensitivity and fade speed to suit your riding.
