It (doesn’t begin to) “just work”
Just got a second UE Boom 2 to pair them, and downloaded the app.
Updated the firmware on both as per the app alert, and had to go through the whole matter of renaming both speakers to tell them apart, then have iOS “forget” them and re-pair them with the new names.
It seems like it’s hit or miss if they’ll both work when in Party Mode, and hot-switching from Double to Stereo always results in my losing one speaker’s audio altogether.
The Boom 2 isn’t new tech, nor is the Double/Stereo feature on the app. Everything should work without fail every time.
Maybe Apple should allow two or more Booms working together through Apple Music; if they do, I’ll likely not bother with the UE app.

Stereo!
I used this app when I first bought my UE Booms some years ago. It didn't seem to add much to the equation so I stuck with using the pairing protocol with just the speakers. Well, that has always been pretty finicky so I came back to the app and I am stoked that it worked with ease AND there's a stereo option now! Game changer!

Did what I wanted
I honestly just downloaded the app to see if I could turn off the sounds the speaker made when you turn it on/off and connected to a device. So if that’s what you’re trying to do, this app will do that.
Can’t turn speaker off
Just bought a Megaboom 3 and the app doesn’t turn the speaker off. It puts it in standby but its constantly turned on so the battery is always dead when I want to use it. Apparently this is a new feature? Why is turning on a portable speaker with a button more inconvenient that having dead batteries all the time? Speaker is getting returned and all deleted.

Thank god!!!! Thank you reviewers
I was just about to buy a mega boom 3 as I had the original one when it came out, my daughter has since acquired it. I thankfully came to see about the download on my newer iPhone and decided to read reviews. The app and the things it could do was the only point of difference to any other speaker. That’s why I was happy to pay the higher than average price then and almost again now. It seems this has been happening for a few years too and no reply. None of the reviews I read online say anything about any issues, so I am definitely going back to tell a few of them so people don’t waste there money and receive no service from app developers. Such a shame, I’ve had and used Logitech speakers for the last couple of decades and still do for computer and have iPod speakers that still work great. So back to Sony or JBL as Logitech never made car speakers that I knew of.
JBL has an app and I believe it pairs with almost all of there speakers from cheap to expensive ones. Not like the boom being left out. So I’m very disappointed in Logitech. It’s amazing that reading real people’s problems with something can destroy decades worth of loyalty.

I love the speaker
The sound on the boom 3 is awesome,ive seen complaints Buh I haven’t had any of those issues…it comes on with a tap on the app as expected,I plan to buy a couple more 🎵
App functions don’t work
I can connect to the Hyperboom via Bluetooth but the app doesn’t read that it’s connected. I’ve deleted and reinstalled and nothing. Just says come back to the app when you connect via Bluetooth and there’s no way to adjust the equalizer without the app. For the price you pay for the speaker, the app prevents you from using the functions you paid for

Battery/charge problem
So many bug fix and enhancement, so why are my mega boom speakers keeps getting worse and worse? I bought two mega boom speakers in early 2018. Two or three years later one of the speaker (blue one) is stuck in a 10% state of charge no matter how long it stay on a charger. If the manufacturer knows that at some time in the life span of this products the battery will need replacement why did they seal the battery in? This is just stupid. I’m sick and tire of throw-away-electronics. This is where government regulation needs to step in and do something about this problem. My 70 year old dad bought a vacuum tube sound system at the age of 21. That sound system with its original speakers still work flawlessly and never been to any repair shop. I have no doubt that if you visit the homes of CEO(s) who run these high tech companies, you will find vaccuum tube technology while they are selling us throw away electronics. Something needs to be done about this.

App is a one big glitch
The concept is solid, but the execution is sad at best. The app continuously drops speakers (using 4 mega boom speakers) and they don’t always have a clear connection between each other (even when 2-5 feet apart)
Thus, the speakers fade constantly and at time feels as if I’m listening to braille ...
an update to fix this would make this a great great set up otherwise mediocre

Constantly having to turn it on.
I'm hard of hearing. I use the speaker feature constantly. More than several dozen times a day. I also have my speaker constantly on charge so battery drain is not a consideration for me. The speaker on off button does not connect and I constantly have to go to settings to connect to Bluetooth. The app icon is useless for connecting also. The old way was perfect for me. Auto disconnect and constant background boom is annoying.
