It would be helpful if, on opening the app, the Connections screen pops up immediately so users can choose which Bluetooth device they want to connect to. Instead, my headphones connect to devices that aren’t turned on. When I open the app I get prompted to a screen wherei have to slide my finger to connect to my phone. If I want to connect to anything other than my phone, which is usually the case, there’s no direct way, not even a menu option, to access the Connections screen. Not having an option to choose which device I want to connect to is so frustrating and a waste of time ### 2/5 — No option available *2026-08-07, version 26.0* Not compatible with Soundlink Max ### 2/5 — Hardware is great. Software is rubbish *2026-08-01, version 26.0* Just buggy and poor. Seriously. You are doing your hardware a disservice. ### 5/5 — Leuke app en vebruiksvriendelijk *2026-07-29, version 26.0* Heel gemakkelijk om party mode (2 boxen met elkaar in stereo te verbinden) ### 4/5 — Cortes en el audio *2026-07-28, version 26.0* La bocina hace muchos cortes de audio.. no entiendo el motivo ### 2/5 — Great Speakers, Bad App. *2026-07-27, version 26.0* Absolutely a failure of an app if you want to connect two Pro S1 speakers via Bluetooth… multiple attempts will finally succeed. I’d expect more from Bose. Seemingly the app has not improved since I acquired the speakers in 2021. (It’s 2026 now). Two stars, because the speakers are great . Please improve for this particular issue: two speakers on Bluetooth ### 4/5 — App raises privacy, and therefore, security concerns *2026-07-27, version 26.0* App leaves a bit to be desired. >It doesn't re-orient the display to match the orientation of the device. >There is no logical reason, other than Exploitation Of Our Data and Breach Of our Privacy (which raises Security Concerns), that Bose would be need our Identity, our Identifiers, or our Contact Info to use this app. Since we can't use the speakers without the app, I cannot recommend Bose Bluetooth speakers. Which is sad because Bose makes decent speakers. That cost them a star. ### 2/5 — Can’t connect to devices anymore *2026-07-26, version 26.0* This was good, but the app doesn’t even work anymore. The most frustrating thing is that I can no longer connect both of my Bose speakers ### 4/5 — Gr8 *2026-07-26, version 25.2* This app has significantly good features That’ll allow you to change things that you want to ### 5/5 — Great! *2026-07-25, version 26.0* I love the app! I can finally turn off the voice prompts. It was so embarrassing when I couldn’t control that before. I also love that I can see the charge level on the battery. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Tries to make u download Alexa *2026-08-24, version 26.0* Got a new phone and used the app to connect headphones. It gives error messages saying it won’t work without downloading Alexa. Quit the app, but the headphones worked anyway. Be careful, it’s dodgy ### 1/5 — Will not connect to internet or bluetooth *2026-08-19, version 26.0* Bose is the worst manufacturer. My internet speaker stopped working because Bose stopped the service which meant I could not use the product at all - that was a soundtouch. Now my micro speaker does not work because the app can’t connect to internet because it says the server doesn’t exist. This company is a waste of time and money. I paid a lot of money because I thought Bose provided the best products. I have now found out that they want me to buy new products because they have disabled my existing products. i was offered new products at a reduced price instead. DO NOT BUY THEIR PRODUCTS ### 1/5 — Bose not so “high end” anymore *2026-08-15, version 26.0* I’m so over Bose. Seriously. I have 2 revolve + speakers and you need this BS app to have both working at same time for good sound It rarely ever works. More recently everytime I use it I have to “forget “ the Bluetooth connections on kynohnnevandbrenstallbbith speakers for it to “maybe work without great hassle and effort. Don’t even get me started on the issues I’ve had with their headphones and earbuds. Bose i think are on their way out. Of being considered a high end product to being. An average to low end product. But at high end pricing ### 1/5 — By Apple *2026-08-13, version 26.0* They don’t update via the app and act more like a set from TEMU than Bose ### 1/5 — Limited connection *2026-08-08, version 26.0* I can only ever connect one speaker at a time. Why did I bother buying a second speaker? ### 1/5 — Customer Service *2026-08-04, version 26.0* You people are absolute Imbeciles ### 1/5 — Poor functionality *2026-08-02, version 26.0* Can’t change your email address, not able to access any real relevant information, highly limited functionality. For the product prices surprisingly poor technology here. Perhaps other platforms (Karden) would be better? ### 1/5 — Very Finicky *2026-08-01, version 26.0* App does not consistently connect to “supported” devices. Sometimes uninstalling and reinstalling helps, but it’s extremely frustrating for such a high end speaker product. Stereo and party modes for multiple speakers require even more effort and rarely work properly. My friends are connecting their JBL, HK and even freebie speakers, and laughing as I’m struggling with my Bose speakers and this app. Not a great look Bose, do better. ### 1/5 — 音楽鑑賞の付加価値を下げるゴミアプリ *2026-07-30, version 26.0* とにかくデバイスへの接続(特に2台接続でのパーティー/ステレオモード使用)のUIがゴミ。 まずスピーカー電源ONにて自動で接続されてるにも関わらず、アプリ起動で接続を認識できず、接続ボタン押下の画面が出る。 認識できた後も、2台接続の動作でクラッシュする確率が高く、音楽再生にいきつくまで1,2分かかる。 2台接続の設定を毎回電源つけるたびに0からやり直しさせるのもいけてないし、止めてると20分で勝手に電源offしてステレオモードごとリセットされるのもストレスポイント。(電源オフ設定もアプリにあるが反映されない) 数万のスピーカーを二台揃えた手前、仕方なく使ってるが、改善の兆しもないので本当にどうにかして欲しい。 ### 1/5 — Unable to connect to S1 Pro+ on iOS 26…:( *2026-07-25, version 26.0* Please Bose, have this bug fix. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Nice app *2026-08-23, version 26.0* Nice layout ### 5/5 — Having Bose is an unbeatable experience! *2026-08-23, version 26.0* I have been using a Bose speaker and a headset for several years, and the sound quality they deliver is truly outstanding, offering rich, clear audio with deep bass. Both devices have demonstrated remarkable durability, continuing to function flawlessly despite frequent use. I'm planning to explore Bose's latest catalog because I haven't checked their new releases in a while. I appreciate everything about Bose, as their products consistently deliver top-quality performance compared to competitors in the global market. ### 5/5 — Wonderful! *2026-08-17, version 26.0* Bose Connect is wonderful!! Very user friendly, easy and simple! My wife and I love the sound system and its mobility. We enjoy using it in our backyard ! Beautiful clean and clear music out of the speaker . ### 5/5 — Sounds *2026-08-15, version 26.0* Good product ### 5/5 — Excellent purchase *2026-08-15, version 26.0* I’m glad a friend recommended this portable speaker. It is a great asset to my day. ### 5/5 — Good company *2026-08-10, version 26.0* Ver good good sound 💕 ### 5/5 — Love my Bose headphones *2026-08-08, version 26.0* The Best headphones I’ve ever had. ### 5/5 — App amigable *2026-08-06, version 26.0* Fácil de entender, intuitiva, fácil de conectar. Me gustaría que tuviera algún ecualizador para el sonido a gusto. Pero es solo un capricho. ### 5/5 — Çok kullanışlı *2026-08-02, version 26.0* Keyifli müzik dinlemeyi çok kolaylaştırıyor ### 5/5 — Sempre maravilhoso ! *2026-08-01, version 26.0* Há muitos anos tenho equipamentos Bose e nunca perderam a qualidade!! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
