### 1/5 — Update update

*2026-08-24, version 27.0.1*

It used to be a good app though it’s no good won’t let me play anything. I can’t get pre-Set on the app

### 1/5 — Garbage app and speakers

*2026-08-22, version 27.0.1*

Have had a variety of SoundTouch speakers for years, they are so buggy they’re not worth having and the app is dreadful a constantly disconnects from the speakers or forgets you or your connected services. Truly dreadful

### 3/5 — What should I do

*2026-08-17, version 27.0.1*

Stuck at the privacy page in the app, won’t allow me to continue even if I agree with their privacy policy

### 1/5 — Does not connect

*2026-08-13, version 27.0.1*

I have 2 Bose speakers and since they dummied their cloud connection speakers don’t connect the way they used to do so.

### 1/5 — Zero Stars

*2026-08-12, version 27.0.1*

Lose Wi-Fi, Lag, Lag, Reconnect Speaker, Lose Wi-Fi, “Can’t Connect”, Lag, Lose Wi-Fi, Reconnect Failed, Lag, Can’t Connect to Wi-Fi…..
This product, app, and company deserves to be put down. But who even cares about these reviews? Nobody. No way Bose

### 1/5 — App apparently no longer supported

*2026-08-12, version 27.0.1*

I got stuck on not being able to progress after agreeing to the terms of use.

### 1/5 — Drops configuration on a regular basis.

*2026-08-10, version 27.0.1*

Technology would be wonderful if it worked. 40% of the time I need to re-initialize this hook up to the LAN. Its reliability requires my correction often enough to make me angry that I gave too much to learn more than I want to about network engineering. It works just enough for you to believe it could, but not enough that you stop feeling you’re losing your humanity in managing the idea that it should.

### 1/5 — O aplicativo perdeu a função!

*2026-08-09*

Não é possível mais predefinir as seleções de músicas nas opções! Era o que diferenciava das outras marcas!

### 1/5 — Redundant speakers

*2026-08-03, version 27.0.1*

I had used these speakers to play internet radio and now it’s redundant as cloud facilities removed. Bit of a joke now. Premium speakers with basic services

### 1/5 — Bad customer care

*2026-07-31, version 27.0.1*

So just found out my SoundTouch 20 is no longer supported and basically just a very expensive Bluetooth speaker. Very poor service for a ‘premium’ company like Bose. Will not buy Bose again.
