The definition of fixing something that was never broken
UE has taken something that worked so well and flawlessly and totally ruined it. This app fails to connect constantly, I find myself sitting here trying to connect for 5-10 minutes as the app says “no device found”. Whereas you used to be able to just turn on the device and it would automatically connect.
We have loved our UE Boom years and speak highly of it, but we will likely not replace it when the time comes considering how terrible this latest update and app have been.

Constant disconnect
I was a big fan of UA Boom speakers and software but now I party up 2 units and they constantly disconnect from each other now (bimonthly still powered on). I’ll walk back into the room to find only one speaker is playing. I also noticed that just trying to pair the two for a party up can be hit and miss. Since Logitech purchased this product, they’ve neglected it, and it is a shame because the speakers still sound amazing. I wish there was another way to pair these two speakers up.

Awesome sound!
My wife bought me the Boom3 for Fathers Day along with the charging system the speaker sits on top of. I absolutely love it! The sound quality is awesome and the charge last long as long as I chill for listening to music. The best is the Ultimate ears app that allows me to easily turn on/off and control the volume from my Iphone. Definitely not dissatisfied like most the reviews on this page.

PINK SLIPS FOR ALL PARTICIPANTS!
It’s too bad one cannot give negative stars! Everyone involved in developing this worthless drivel need to be given Pink Slips £ escorted to the exit immediately. It is unfathomable that Logitech is associated with this nonsense.
It is bad enough that there is no way to extinguish that obnoxious sound that it makes when turning on or off and no AUX jack/port on the UE Megaboom to connect directly but this is putting rock salt into a gunshot wound £ stitching it closed. Also, it will no longer connect via bluetooth to my MacBook Pro. I tried to return the speaker but it was beyond the return date. [yea, I did the dance through the website] The software, once downloaded onto my iPhone, never shows the MegaBoom in the bluetooth window. This is worse than the KEF LSX attempt at a bluetooth app.
Yes, my bluetooth function works because I writing this message with my Logitech K760 Solar Keyboard via bluetooth.
RECOMMENDATION: Burn this disaster of an attempt at a bluetooth app. AND burn the draft boards it was written on. Stick to hardware £ make sure it works. This should be considered an absolute embarrassment for a company such as this. Spend you money JBL if you want to connect via cable. Otherwise, if it is in the budget, get a pair of PSB, ELAC or Klipsch active speakers if you do not necessarily need portability.

app is awful
Getting two speakers to work in stereo should not be a process that takes multiple attempts, having to shut down both speakers and phone first to work correctly almost every time. If you cant have stereo music coming from your speakers within 60 seconds of that decision then you need to send your engineers back to work

App is inconsistent and frustrating
The app is inconsistent in its functionality frequently will not find dollar speakers to connect to which is really frustrating as I bought two mega bums and do not connect on at least 50/60% of the occasions when I attempt to do so. I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve had a reset my phone reset the app delete the app turn the speakers on and off just to get the speakers gonna stay in a mood. Surely in this day and age it does not require that much work to make sure that the product that you are providing and selling on the basis of using stereo mode to make sure what you sell to us actually exists 100% of the time😡😡😡

Spotty Audio Connections on Party Up, App is Style Over Substance
Cart before the horse here on execution. Audio quality and connection should be paramount over all of the other convenience features. It shouldn't be an iterative process to successfully get 3 speakers partied up and by no means should any have audio cutting out while sitting next to one another fully charged playing music (5G WiFi, downloaded tracks, whatever, there's a codec issue here).
The app looks nice and all but at the end of the day all I'm looking for is a high quality stable connection between multiple speakers. If I need to physically get up and walk over to turn one on/off or adjust the volume so be it. EQ, nice to have but I'll trade it any day for rock solid audio with no cutouts. Requiring the app to parry up may look cool with the dots and all, but functions 10x better and consistently on the cheaper wonderboom models (which sadly are limited to 2 max otherwise I'd just buy 8 of them).
Ignore the completion from the likes of Bose, beats, JBL etc.... you have some solid underlying physical engineering that the app doesn't do justice and even detracts from. Forget adding extra features and focus on the core product and main reason people buy your speakers, to listen to some dang music.

Aggressively bad app that just doesn’t work 50% of the time
It just won’t connect or find speakers roughly half the time even when you’re sitting right next to it. Just awful. It’s much easier to turn on the speaker manually and connect to it through Settings.
App does the job, Megaboom 3 speaker is disappointing
This app works OK (hence the 4 star rating) including the equaliser function, but the Megaboom 3 Speaker itself is a disappointment compared to the old classic UE Boombox I have. When your marketing material claims "Thundering Bass" which turns out to be no where near to that of the old speaker (despite playing with the equalizer in the App), then to me, there's a real problem. Have returned the Speaker to the retailer for a full refund.
