## What is iPeng ue?

iPeng ue is the Music Remote for your Logitech® UE™ Smart Radio. It gives you perfect and simple control over all of your music and helps you to unleash the true potential of your Smart Radio.
Since Version 8.0 iPeng ue now has a modern iOS user interface design.

* iPeng is The Original *

iPeng, originally launched as a Web App for the Logitech® Squeezebox™as early as 2007, has been the first ever remote control solution for iOS, serving a large and happy user base until today and retaining a 4.5 star rating on the App Store for over six years now. iPeng ue brings all that power to your Smart Radio, too.

With iPeng ue you will get access to functionality you currently don’t have on the Smart Radio, such as easy playlist manipulation, browsing with large artwork and detailed track information, social media sharing, music information lookup from sources like Wikipedia and playing of custom radio stations from a simple URL.

iPeng ue is a universal App for iPad, iPhone and iPod touch and the only real iPad remote for the Smart Radio.

Note: iPeng ue is a remote control App only for the Logitech® UE™ Smart Radio. It will not work with the Logitech® Squeezebox™ and it will not make Squeezebox functionality available that is missing on the Smart Radio. 
iPeng ue is not a music player and there is also no additional In App Purchase available for such a capability.

### 5/5 — Discontinued

*2024-03-23*

Logitech is shutting down its servers.

It was a fine app, but now it’s just an expensive clutter

### 2/5 — Stopped working

*2022-01-14, version 9.7.4*

It has not been working for several weeks. Always says player not found, while the UE Player itself has been working just fine and logging into the website has no issue. App abandoned?

### 1/5 — Not compatible with squeezebox radio

*2021-12-24, version 9.7.4*

Not compatible with squeezebox radio.

### 1/5 — No funciona Spotify, no deja agregar mas servicios de música

*2020-04-06, version 9.7.4*

Ocurren muchos errores

**Developer response:** This is not an iPeng Problem. Spotify discontinued the support for the UE Smart Radio years ago, it won't work if you use the Radio without iPeng either.

### 5/5 — Filling the void

*2019-01-20, version 9.6.1*

Glad I found this app so that I can keep my UE Smart Radio connected to the web!

### 5/5 — ipeng ue

*2018-01-30, version 9.0.1*

switched my squeezebox to ue interface but logitech app out of date. downloaded this app and it’s works great! much easier the control of my music!!

### 5/5 — Works well, unlike the native Logitech apps.

*2017-09-29, version 9.0.1*

I have been in touch with Logitech with issues with their apps, and they repeatedly gave me the impression they are in no hurry to update their non-functional apps, so I downloaded this app to work with my Logitech UE radio, and it seems to work well.   Perhaps Logitech has abandoned updating their apps, so I am glad there is a third party app that seems to work with the radio.   (I think it has been several years since Logitech updated their app, and it no longer loads at all with iOS 11).   Thanks for the app.  This app seems to work well with iOS 11.

### 4/5 — Recent Upgrade Now Working!

*2017-09-07, version 9.0.1*

Latest upgrade now working well. This is the best app to drive and configure your UE Smartradio; way more user-friendly and robust than the native app.

**Developer response:** Yes, we did have a problem with 9.0 in some configuration. 9.0.1, available since yesterday/today fixes this.
Sorry for the inconvenience.

### 5/5 — Provides what was missing from UE functionality

*2014-02-19, version 1.0.8*

Although the UE Smart Radio is a bargain compared to the Squeezebox (much less expensive and the rechargeable battery is included), it's missing some crucial functionality -- the ability to find and listen to ANY online streaming radio station by entering the URL. The built-in station finder is missing a lot of great stations. After some online forum searching I came upon iPeng and risked the ten bucks.  

It does what I need it to do:  it has a self-contained browser so I can look up any radio station in the world and/or enter its URL.  Once I've done that I can name it and add it to favorites and the radio adds it to its favorites list. I can control everything on the radio via this app but once I've done what I needed to do I can exit the app and the radio continues on its own.  No need for the app to be running to keep playing the custom URL.

Nice app interface too.  Easy to set up and use.

### 4/5 — Much better than the Logitech App!

*2013-02-09, version 1.0.2*

Great way to browse and control my UE radio.
Could do with some improvements in UI flow and some of the popups are odd.  However this is a minor gripe compared to the great functionality the app has.
