best speakers ever!!!
i own the wonderboom 2 speaker some people don’t actually know how to treat nicely there speakers like some people said there speaker is glitchy because YOU DONT TREAT IT RIGHT its some times glitchy because it is low on battery or you may have dropped it in water like my older brother did with his speaker so he traded it for a other wonderboom 3 the sad part is you cant use the app for the wonderboom 2 speaker and it lasts for a good period of time so i never have to actually worry about it dying for its 13 hour battery its small portable and i love the outdoor mode because i love camping hiking biking so this speaker has the same efficiency for those types of environment so these speakers are THE BEST if you just treat them RIGHT!!!

Connectivity issues
The app use to be able to turn the speaker on and off, which had proven useful when the speaker might’ve been misplaced! Now the app can only turn the speaker off and doesn’t turn it back on! Not too much of a big deal but was one of the better features with the app!
🔊Party-Up 🔊 does Work Great (just need to have good line of site)
I’ve had two MegaBOOMs for years & they work great together!
They work great as long as there isn’t anything significant blocking your iPhone/ iPad and the 1st Connected Speaker & then from the 1st to 2nd Speaker! (the signal seems to go from the Device to one Speaker & then to the Next Speaker - daisy-chain)
People, it’s Bluetooth after all - which isn’t nearly as robust as WiFi for transmitting signals!
Sometimes the App does get confused if you disconnect by going far away from the Speaker(s). Again issues are more from the inadequacies of Bluetooth than this App!
I find the BEST PRACTICE is to Turnoff the Speakers via the App & then Quit the App (it seems like if you keep the App open, it’ll try to connect to the Speakers - which can get the app confused 🤔).

Party Up useless
I bought a second Boom 3 speaker just so I could connect them for stereo sound. Party Up has successfully connected to both speakers at the same time maybe 2-3 times out of dozens of attempts, and when it does, one of the speakers (it’s random which one) drops within 10 minutes. Most of the time, I can’t even get Party Up to work at all. Additionally, if I have two speakers turned on that the app recognizes, it reads that the battery on one of them is at 0% or 10% (which it isn’t). I completely wasted my money on a second Boom because of the uselessness of this app.

My speaker doesn’t even work.
I hate corporations and this is why. My book 2 speaker has been working fine for months now, but now it just turns on and connects and doesn’t show up as an audio output option. The app has always sucked at working like it’s supposed to but it used to be able to turn on and connect my speaker. Now it’s showing that the speaker has an update but won’t let me update it because I “need to turn the power on”… while I’m looking at the light on the speaker and it says it’s connected to my phone.

glitch as all get out
i’ve had my speaker for almost 2 years and in the past 4 months it’s been SO glitchy. i can’t get through an audio book or playlist without it popping in and out. what an absolute bummer. it makes listening more of a hassle than anything.
So……no longer supports the Wonderboom.
Tried to use my Wonderboom with my iPad and when I go to the App and choose it as my speaker it says that there is “No app for this speaker”. Since when?? Yes, my Bluetooth is on. Yes, everything is “plugged in”. Yes, everything is “turned on”. What gives?? My Boom3 works fine but I use it at work and it would be nice to use the one that I bought for home AT HOME. Otherwise, the speakers are excellent - or else I wouldn’t have them. But what good are they if they can’t be used via the app? ~Frustrated and disappointed.

Garbage
They clearly dont care about their app feature for the speakers. If i want to use the app it work the first time and every time after that i try to open it and it wont open and will quit on its on while it is loading. Honestly just absurd and super disappointing for a company that makes such great mobile speakers. The speakers are great but dont bother with this p.o.s. App

Party Up is Glitchy
I own 2 booms (one of the newer models) and the party up feature for the past 6 months has been glitchy. One of the two speakers often drops off and disconnects and is unable to reconnect without turning off both speakers, closing the app, turning Bluetooth off and back on on my phone etc. Both speakers are equidistant from my phone (just using as 2 channel stereo in a room within a 15ft radius so it’s not a Bluetooth out of range signal issue). When I first got the speakers it was a different issue - one of the two speakers would frequently skip and have static. Suddenly it all worked great for maybe 3-4 months, and now it’s the one of the two speakers drops off (it’s not specifically one of my two speakers either, they both do it). Also happens on my wife’s newer iPhone 11.

Please fix! Great potential, was optimistic, but sadly disappointed.
The Hyperboom 3 is excellent. It sound gorgeous, is pretty loud, and looks great. This app has issues though, and perhaps the most disappointing thing about this is that the Party Up feature doesn’t work well. After a few minutes the second speaker (the one I’m not controlling but is paired) always cuts in and out and crackles during the music I play. I have to constantly turn off and on that second speaker for it to play okay for another few minutes. Extremely disappointing. UE, please update the firmware, or the app, so that these speakers have a stronger connection when pairing together. They have the potential to be so much better, especially for the premium that you’re charging for these speakers!
