How do I add my own sound? Open a board, tap a pad,
choose Import, and pick an audio file from your device. It’s
copied into the app and works offline from then on.
Where can I get sounds? The app ships with a
built-in library of generic, royalty-free SFX. You can also import any
audio file you already have.
Can I make more than one board? Yes — create as many
boards as you like and switch between them from the board picker.
Why does only one sound play at a time? That’s by
design: tapping a new pad cuts the previous one, and re-tapping the
same pad restarts it — like a real soundboard.
Does it need the internet? No. Ba Dum Tss never
connects to any network. Everything is stored on your device.
I reinstalled and my imported sounds are gone.
Imported files live inside the app’s storage, so deleting the app
removes them. Keep your original files if you want to re-import.
🧾 The tip jar
Ba Dum Tss is free. If you’d like to support development, there’s an
optional tip in Settings, handled entirely by Apple’s App Store — we
never see your payment details. Tips are non-refundable and unlock no
extra features; they’re just a thank-you.
