| 2024-11-29 |  | | Most recent update ruined my phones Bluetooth volume control. I get the choice of one volume level for all settings or mute (at 0). I can only remotely control volume level by manual adjustment within the app or the volume button on the speaker, phone volume up/down is non-functional now. |
| 2024-11-23 |  | | Works, but wish it had more options. Buying a $400 speaker and not being able to turn off the remote on feature from the app is pretty unfortunate. The battery drains in a few weeks since the speaker is never really off. I've heard this toggle was added back for other speakers. Please add it back for the Hyperboom so we don't have to come back to dead speakers! |
| 2024-11-15 |  | | Functionality I give this app three stars , I've been using this app since expiration for Android, love the way it sounds also the EQ functions, works on all my devices, just a couple hiccups sometimes but no big deal. Other than having to turn on location services to turn my other speaker on this was never necessary Pryor and worked just fine now they say it's mandatory :( Other than that Thanks UE Boom! P.S. a widget would be great! |
| 2024-11-03 |  | | The speaker works great, sound quality is impeccable. One star because I can't figure out how to stop the speaker from interrupting my music or video content at the beginning, telling me to make sure the app is running and can access the Internet. Doesn't matter if the app is open and able to access the Internet, I will get interrupted at every start up. Please tell me there is a way to turn it off! Old UE Boom never did this... Make it stop!!! |
| 2024-10-13 |  | | used to work great... but now i can no longer use the app to turn on my hyperboom... and even using power button on to of unit has become mostly unresponsive... i touch the power button i get a short blink... same thing happens sometimes with app also... i hafta wait 10 seconds after short blink before i can long press (between 5 and 8 seconds) to power on yhe unit... this happened immediately after last update |
| 2024-10-02 |  | | The app doesn't work at all! I'm stuck in a constant loop of the app telling me to connect my Wonderboom 4 via Bluetooth to my phone when it's already connected. Every time I return to the app as instructed, it asks me to pair it again even though it's already paired. Lame and frustrating. |
| 2024-09-22 |  | | With installing this app and getting the mega boom 3, it'll constantly ask after having YT Music open for awhile "have app open to use this feature" it's open in the background and YT music is the music app I leave open. This may need a new update. Update: speakers still to this day give the message "to use this feature" and I have reset the speaker multiple times. Buy one at your own risk.(new: still same bs. AWFUL 4 ANDROID 1 Speaker only and even ..) |
| 2024-09-11 |  | | Just got 2 BOOM 4 on 9/10/24, so that way can use party mode. Speakers connect to my phone, and they do play only 1 at a time. I go into the app, and it does not show a speaker connected at all. Keeps saying to connect one. I even un-installed and reinstalled. Even reset speakers. The phone seems to see them, but the app does not. |
| 2024-08-26 |  | | Since the most recent update, I have been completely unable to use my speakers. The speaker turns on and off repeatedly and will not stream music using the app made specifically for my speakers. I've had to delete the app and go back to simply connecting via my phone's Bluetooth settings. |
| 2024-08-18 |  | | Update: This is hilarious because the app developer responded to me with a link to click for help, and the link is broken! Thanks idiots! Customer service=0 This app has worked great for a while until the most recent update. Now the entire app is basically useless because it won't connect to my speaker even though my phone is playing music through it. I tried to get support through the app and all of the links are broken. Thanks idiots. Who wrote the code for this an 8th grade vocational class? |
