★★★★ Roomfr2 1/1/2026 v1.7.7
Don’t waste your money !
Without a doubt this doesn’t work as advertised! I know Bose is terminating their app in February 2026 but this isn’t the answer . Not user friendly and you loose support for the add on subscriptions you had in the past . The are advertising that will work like the Bose app and will work after the Bose app shuts down . There must me a better solution and this is definitely not it ! Like I said don’t waste your $2.99!!
★★★★ mis volas grandes 11/22/2021 v1.7.7

😡😡😡First it does not conect to anything and when you try to contact someone nothing happens. Waste of money. They should not charge for this app.

How does app work???
This app is not very user friendly... I just want to pair my Bose speakers and I feel like I was just swindled out of $3.
Do not buy this APP!
THIS APP DOES NOT WORK!

Not doing what I bought it to do
This app does not allow my speakers to join.
★★★★ borromean 4/25/2017 v1.6.1
Not worth the price
This is not really an improvement over the Bose app. The Bose app is not great but best you can do for know.
★★★★ Skippyyes 1/23/2017 v1.6
Doesn't work on my new Bose System
It does not even recognize my new Bose system or the Wi-Fi that I'm using. Totally Worthless and it cost $5.00

Want my money back.
Just got this app and it's actually the worst app I've ever gotten in 6 years. It crashes on startup. Total waste of money. Great app if you're trying to scam people.
★★★★ DHornek 8/27/2016 v1.4

★★★★ Jack Kubiak 2/12/2016 v1.3
Doesn't work well at all
By far the worst app I've purchased in the App Store.
This is the first review I've ever written because it's so bad.
★★★★ jagsurgical 1/25/2016 v1.3
Doesn't work
This app doesn't work on an Apple phone, nor is there any useful support, I continued to get a "no connection to device "error and have loaded unloaded reloaded switch networks turned off networks turned on networks and it continues to not be useful
★★★★★ ajmg1 3/19/2020 v1.7.7
Worthless
Find another job. Stealing from people is not nice. I enter static IP addresses ask him for his asffggggnumber is that you can have the phone and the number you know and he said you and it takes them then they disappear. Still no connect to my speakers. BTW in jusasautomatic mode app cannot find my speakers. Even with static addresses.
★★★★★ k1200ltce 1/30/2016 v1.3
Controller
This app is very limited. The app requires you to reset the IP address every time you change radios. It does not display radio data. Can not change radios on Apple Watch. Needs work!!!!!
