Incredibox is a music mixing app developed by So Far So Good. This app is marketed as a part-music game and a part-music mixer with a software that is based on beatboxing. When you open the app, you choose from eight different themes ranging from classic beatboxing to a more synthetic and trap style.
How to use Incredibox
Using Incredibox is super simple. All you have to do is drag and drop icons onto little characters on the screen. It's like giving them musical superpowers! This helps you create your own music without any fuss.

Save, share, and listen again
Once your music sounds great, you can save it and share it with your friends. They can listen to it and even vote for it if they like it. If your music gets enough votes, it might make it to the Top 50 chart! You can also listen to your music again anytime you want.
Let Incredibox play for you
Feeling a bit lazy? No problem! Incredibox has an automatic mode that plays music for you. You can just sit back and enjoy the music without doing anything.
Incredibox Features
The app’s primary feature lets you choose up to seven inputs to play a selection of beats, notes, and lines. The selection is done by dragging and dropping items that are linked to specific compositions. The first group of options is typically rhythm, then bass, supporting notes, and finally vocals, all of which are characteristics of beatboxing.
You can record music and set the app to play automated via random selection. Recorded tracks can be downloaded as MP3s and are added automatically to a top 50 poll where you are ranked.
Incredibox is like a musical playground on your computer. It's a simple and fun way to make music, whether you're a kid or a parent.
Pricing
Incredibox is inexpensive and offers a demo to play for free in-browser before downloading. The free demo gives you access to half of the eight playable music setups in version 8, while the remainder of music themes are only available in the full version of the game for less than five dollars.
Is Incredibox OK for kids?
Incredibox is made with kids in mind, so it's totally okay for them to use. Parents can join in too, making it a cool way to spend time together. You and your child can try out different combinations of beatboxers and sounds, kind of like mixing ingredients to make your own recipe. It's like a game, but with music!
Incredibox alternatives
Incredibox has stiff competition as a mixing app, despite the lack of competition in terms of games of similar nature. Their biggest competitor is Auxy Studio, a free music mixing app for iPhone that allows users to mix and publish their music to Spotify. The primary difference between Incredibox and Auxy, is that Auxy is designed for professional quality rather than for the novice user.
Our take
Incredibox is a game more than a tool. The app is predominantly meant to be used for entertainment. However, you have little creative freedom on the music you can compose due to the limited features. Also, Incredibox cannot publish recorded music to other music platforms other than the integrated top 50 list.
Should you download it?
No, the app is well-built and maintained but ultimately priced too high when compared to free alternatives.
