VoxxBoxx - Mysterious messages - Made in Unity for iOS / Android

Hi All,

We just released VoxxBoxx, a messaging app that will conquer the world.
Listen to people who sent in Voxxes (8 second audio messages) or send one in yourself.

Lots of fun doing this in Unity.
Future versions will be kitted out more with functions but also some nice animated steampunk gfx.
Let me know what you think please.

Or better yet, give it a go:
iOS - http://goo.gl/VuYq3W
Android - http://goo.gl/8fDk6f

We made the actual VoxxBoxx also as an actual machine that works like the app to use as a demo.
We even made a short youtube movie featuring the real VoxxBoxx (angel etc)...

 

If you want to see what it does check out this hilarious review by Jason Howell on Twit.tv

 

How did you find working with unity for an application that isn't a game? What was your reason for choosing unity?

 

Love it -
Love the UI.
What's your server side technology look like?

 

Was a bit of a gamble but turned out very well actually.
I have strong roots in 3D design and animation hence the choice also the app will get more animated and refined over time (steampunk animations of cogs, opening panels etc).

Serverside is Azure and scalable to our needs.
Usage is growing so we are ready for it

 

Has anyone tried it yet ?
Let me know what you think !

 

Played with android version this morning.
UI is crisp and sound effects are awesome.
Do you do any kind of audio filtering/adjustments? My voice sounds deeper and with more reverb - could be a good mic on my phone but I doubt it.

Listened to several messages by others - was amazed it hasn't turned into crap spam/porn yet!

(the ones from "Brookfield, WI" are from myself and my son....)

 

Thank you for the feedback Jeff !

Yes we moderate the incoming Voxxes, however, we were expecting a lot (a lot!) more profanity, seems people have grown up and moved on

Voxxes are never changed using filters to make them sound different. The only thing we might do (in a rare case) is alter its levels to make sure it isn't too quiet.

Thanks for letting me know which one you sent in. I am as hooked to this app as many others
Cheers, Kurt

 

Seems like Twitter or Snapchat in audio form. It could be successful because of its inherent viral nature. I'm interested to see if these viral apps sustain over the long term.

 

If you only knew what is coming next.
The aim is to cheer people up, give everyone a voice, invoke creativity and even conquer loneliness for people who don't get outdoors.
One laugh a day keeps the doctor away

 

The all new improved awesome version 2.0
