Stereo Pairing not working

Ho acquistato questa App solo per recuperare la funzione Stereo Pairing ormai non più funzionante da giugno (da quando Bose ha spento i server Cloud Sound Touch), ma questa funzione semplicemente NON FUNZIONA neanche assegnando l’indirizzo IP statico-fisso a tutti e 5 i miei dispositivi Sound Touch. I dispositivi vengono riconosciuti e possono essere fatti suonare contemporaneamente, come fa anche l’App Sound Touch di Bose anche oggi (a server spenti), quindi a me questa App a pagamento non serve a nulla.
Inoltre è dichiarata anche il lingua italiana ma non è così.
Anche il sito web dedicato non fornisce istruzioni e le pagine sono compilate con testo “Lorem Ipsum..”.
Una App gratuita può fare anche poco o nulla ma quando si mettono in vendita le App devono funzionare per quello che dichiarano di fare (indipendentemente dal prezzo).
Quindi per me è NO!

Questa App va bene solo per chi vuole memorizzare le radio sui 6 preset e poco altro, allora pubblicizziamola per quello che è.

Poor waste of money

Stations are all garbled , can’t set favourites, other channels just don’t work

Funcționează perfect

Am o boxă Bose Sound Touch 30 și funcționează perfect cu aplicația.

GOOD ALTERNATIVE FOR ORIGINAL APP

First, let me say I am really angered by Bose’s decision to stop the support for SoundTouch. They claim they had no choice that the cloud that was running the system had run its course. Hard to believe. However, they did open up the source for third parties to operate an app so that the speakers won’t be “bricked”.

Now comes along one of those third parties called Companion For Bose SoundTouch, Which is supposed to restore all of the functions of the original Bose app. It does exactly that. In addition to using Bluetooth, I can utilize my WiFi system and and not only use all six presets, but also add favorites, which I have done. I was also able to pair my two SoundTouch10s for stereo sound and group those speakers with my SoundTouch 20 which is in another room.

All of the functions are restored, including WiFi, Bluetooth, and AUX. However, it didn’t come easy. It took me several days to get all of the functions to work, and there was no telephone support, so I had to rely on Google and its AI feature to guide me through the set up process. Plus Google also made a high recommendation for this app. But never the less, I have almost everything that I used to have with the original Bose app. I wish I could play Sirius, Deezer and Amazon Music using WiFi, but there isn’t a provision to access those sites except for Bluetooth. One last thing: the price ($3.99, Canadian) is very reasonable and made it one of the factors in my decision to purchase the app. Finally, I still use the original Bose app in conjunction with the Companion app. Try it and you will see they work well together.

Good idea but poor

Cuts out every 10 seconds or so for a second of silence, does not work for bbc, not really a usable replacement unfortunately

This App does NOT solve the present buttons problem.

I just bought this app because it says it will solve the problem related with the presetting buttons in my SoundTouch. I followed all the instructions in the app and that did not solve the problem. The presetting buttons in my SoundTouch still can not hold the preset playlist. If you are buying this app to try to solve that specific problem, save your money.

Tolle App

Nachdem Bose den Support für mein SoundTouch eingestellt hat war ich ziemlich aufgeschmissen. Dank Christian und seiner tollen App funktioniert wieder alles. Habe die App installiert und einige Probleme gehabt,Support per Mail angeschrieben und innerhalb kürzester Zeit Antwort erhalten. Vielen Dank nochmal für die App, die reibungslos läuft und die geniale Unterstützung. Mit freundlichen Grüßen Rainer T.

Defaul not spotify

“I’m using Sound Controller 2.0 on iOS. During Spotify setup, the app asks me to create a Spotify Developer app, but the Spotify Developer Dashboard no longer shows the ‘Create app’ button. Has the setup process changed?”

Rubbish

Downloaded and paid and radio stations were not great quality all so dissatisfied

Amazing 🤩

Very happy with the app and to have control of my radio preset buttons on the Bose SoundTouch again. Initially the app wasn’t working, I emailed the creator Christian, who promptly replied. Simple fix Thanks again ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Excelente App

Me permitió volver a la vida un gran equipo como son los Bosé sound touch 20 y 30

Soundtouch alive !!

Ik had de hoop al bijna opgegeven, maar met deze app laat je je preset buttons terug werken als voorheen. Laat zich eenvoudig configureren en top support als je toch nog een vraag hebt. Bedankt om mijn duur Bose toestel terug tot leven te wekken.

A Life saver

Thank you so much for that easy app to use and to give us the possibility on still using our SoundTouch products.

Today, because of this app and of the different actualisation, I can still listen radios on my different Soundtouch products.

SoundTouch läuft wie früher

Mit der App könnt ihr die Presets auf dem SoundTouch bedienen. Und die Funktion ist wie früher. Wenn es nicht direkt klappt, einfach dem Support schreiben, der Hilft, schnell und unkompliziert. VG Martin

Great Bose Soundtouch Support

Since Bose stopped supporting the Soundtouch speaker I lost control of it. This app has revived it. I have an old iPod that Apple doesn't support any more with ios 15. This app allows me to connect and control my Soundtouch speaker. I no longer have TuneIn but it's radio browser is decent. The pre-sets work perfectly. I recommend this app as a replacement for the old Bose Soundbar. Also, I had a question about one feature and the developer contacted me right away. He is very to help me solve my problem. Great App!

Solution for SoundTouch App Obsolescence

Good app in open source to replace the new defunct Sound Touch App. My Bose SoundTouch 20 can still be used! Yes!

Bose SoundTouch replacement app

This app replaces what Bose started doing and completely dropped the ball. This app happens to be better than the ball that got dropped! Thanks to the team of Tech!

Saved my Bose SoundTouch from being bricks

I was glad to find this app because I was about to throw away my SoundTouch speakers. These speakers have always been fussy and a problem on my network and I was going to give up after Bose killed the servers. But this app lets me run the speakers as well as the SoundTouch app (admittedly that’s not saying much). The Controller app is kind of clunky and a little fussy, but Christian was super responsive in helping me to sort through connectivity issues-many thanks to him for that. I hope he keeps developing it so those of us who own SoundTouch speakers can keep enjoying them. Thanks Christian!

Nice but still buggy

Trying my best with it, it works well over WIFI but issues with one touch buttons, radio stations etc. Hope developer solves it.
