Updates

0.9.0

20 September 2026

• Noise suppression: the app now takes wind, engine and traffic noise out of your voice before your partner hears it. It is on by itself, with a switch in Sound settings. On an iPhone it needs iOS 17.4 or newer.
• Fixed: pasting a playlist did nothing on an iPhone. A playlist now opens as a queue of its songs and plays the same way single links do.
• A YouTube Mix, Liked videos or a private playlist now tells you what it is and what to paste instead.

0.8.0

20 September 2026

• Starting a ride now shows an invite card: a QR code to scan with the other phone, the ride code in big letters, and a Send the link button.
• Opening an invite asks only for your seat and your name. The free seat is already picked.
• Each seat and each talk mode now says what it does, right on the button.
• Short confirmations appear at the bottom of the screen, and the screen lock warning has a bar of its own.

0.7.1

20 September 2026

• If your signal drops, your phone gets back on the ride faster, and it no longer needs our server to be reachable at that moment.
• Fixed: on a dead signal the app gave up reconnecting after half the tries it was meant to make.

Site

20 September 2026

• The home page now opens with what Xoundly is for: talking to your passenger without shouting, on the phones and earbuds you already own.
• New: a straight answer to "why not just buy an intercom?", including when you should.
• An 18 second ride on the home page: what a two-up ride sounds like without Xoundly, and with it. It waits for your tap, so it costs you no data until you want it.
• Xoundly is listed on App Builders PH. There is an upvote link in the bar.
• More of the page fits a phone screen: less padding between the parts, and the upvote stays reachable.

0.6.0

20 September 2026

• A calmer, friendlier look for the app and this site: light while you set up, dark while you ride, soft rounded type.
• Meet the helmet. It is the new face of Xoundly and the app icon.
• This site now shows real screens from the app, and the sound demo has controls for how far the music drops, how fast it comes back, and a karaoke mode.

0.5.0

19 September 2026

• New colours for the app. Dark while you ride so the screen stays cool and does not glare at night.
• Two helmets on the ride screen show the link at a glance: a teal line when your partner talks, a red one when you do, and a red dot while your mic is open.
• The big button now tells you its state by colour: yellow to talk, red while your mic is live, dark when muted.
• Xoundly now lives at app.getxoundly.com.

0.4.1

19 September 2026

• The app is now called Xoundly.

0.4.0

19 September 2026

• Karaoke mode: one singer at a time, echo on the singer's voice, and a singer timing control so the voice lands on the beat.
• Smoother music syncing: small drift is corrected by playing a touch faster or slower, with no cut in the sound.

0.3

19 September 2026

• YouTube music: paste a link, several links or a playlist, and both phones play it in step.
• iPhone: clear instruction to tap the video once, then it follows by itself.
• Fixed YouTube "Error 153" on iPhone.

0.2

19 September 2026

• Music that lowers itself when either person talks, with settings for how far and how fast.

0.1

19 September 2026

• First version: two-way voice, Open Mic and Hi-Fi talk modes, automatic reconnect, ride log.
