BOOM & MEGABOOM App Reviews

I bought 3 Boom 2 speakers for myself and family this Christmas. So far I had a few problems with connecting but once I worked out the kinks all is good. Ive connected two speakers so far and they are working great. I was thinking that I might buy a few more and place them throughout the house. I did not know prior to buying these speakers that you can connect up to 50 at one time. UE should be advertising the number of speakers that can be connected. Im impressed and the sound quality is great.

The start requires you to wait for the phone to find the speaker, which can take a while, but then the app is great!

So heres my problem. I was given a UE Boom speaker for Christmas, and when I downloaded and tried to use the app, I got a warning that I needed to update the app to be able to use the remote and other features advertised on the package. But I had just downloaded the app. So it should have been the most current, right? Wrong. The most current app is only available at the Logitech website, if--you guessed it--you give up all your personal information. So aside from the obvious (Logitech is forcing you to contribute to their mailing list), why is Logitech evading Apple and the standards I expect from Apples App developers?

This app used to be so bad to the point that my speakers would not even double, but since the update there have been no issues and is so user friendly!

The app is confusing i just got the ue boom for xmas and it is a really cool speaker but the app is weird after some time(aka 5minutes )the app wont leave the page connect the speaker to bluetooth and it is and my songs play fine i dont know how the pictures on the app thingy were taken but it does work so just some tweaking needs to be done but otherwise my music plays and that is all that matters right?

The UE Boom user interface is worse than the Philips Hue app was at the beginning. It is extremely difficult to navigate and do the simplest things. Try setting up two speakers to work at the same time. Extremely difficult. The website has an old video tutorial (still showing the outdated material design) that shows icons that are not actually in the app. Want to waste some time? Try to get this app to do something useful. The information it provides about the speakers you are trying to connect is not clearly stated. Naming a speaker and getting iOS to recognize it in the Bluetooth settings takes several tries. They spent more time making the design cute, and very little time to make it usable. When trying to figure out how the PartyUp Public setting works, either in addition to DoubleUp, or possibly replacing DoubleUp, the website (which is full of fashionable people both in fullscreen images and zippy but information-free videos), has a FAQ answer that uses the word promiscuity. This is clever, but meaningless. It says nothing about the possibly true public use of the Bluetooth speaker – is it truly available to anyone within bluetooth range (the public) to connect to? They should pay more attention to usability, and less to image and cleverness. The final stroke of doom: the sound coming out of one of my UE Boom speakers is choppy and intermittent even when I am less than 5 feet away. I am putting them back in their little boxes and taking them back to the retailer. BOOM!

Sloppy design. And the documentation is wrong or incomplete. Stay away unless you need it. Then good luck.

I have 2 ue boom speakers and spend more time trying to get this app to work than I do listening to music. At first I thought it was because I was not familiar with the app, but now know that the app is extremely faulty.

No problems here. Everything works as advertised. I only have one boom so idk about the multi speaker stuff, but everything else works great. Would like to see a tap gesture for previous song too! And maybe a watch app so you wouldnt need your phone.

I have my UE Boom2 hooked up and playing my Amazon Echo dot; however, the app doesnt show that my Boom2 is even on and connected. I cannot use this app when the Echo Dot is playing through the Boom2 because it doesnt know its on and playing. Terrible app that doesnt even do what its supposed to. Worthless

Every time I try to fix the alarm in the app the program shuts down. My speakers keep sounding an alarm every morning. Its annoying. Please fix the alarm issue in your app.

This was a pretty long process, but trust me it works. Make sure your speaker is out to date, just getting started takes a while I KNOW! If you just double tap the connection button and wait long enough it will work. Once thats done make sure to do the same for the other, both speakers are updated there should be a thing at the bottom that that shows another speaker. Drag it up to the speaker showing and you are done, I really hope that this helps everyone. Remember to take your time,once it is ready enjoy

Not deserving of all the bad reviews, consistently helps you connect without having to get up and go turn on the speaker

After performing the recommended software update the speaker is unresponsive. Customer Service said "its no longer under warranty, thanks and have a great day!"

Since the latest firmware updates there has been a significant audio delay problem that makes watching video with the boom awful. The problem even persists with a hard 3.5mm audio cable connection to the boom. Please fix your firmware "update" so that the speaker works properly.

Wanted to link UE BOOM 2 with Kindle Fire 8 and it doesnt work. Had no trouble with iPhone6 without the APP which is obtuse to say the least. Why bother releasing an App unless it is tested? Your instructions and customer support leave much to be desired also!!!!

I love the speaker. The tap controls do not work most of the time and are slow to respond. More importantly, the remote feature doesnt always work when Bluetooth and the speaker are on. The menus and buttons are not accessible with voiceover. Also the latest update to the speakers Bluetooth made the connection with the iPhone worse and audio quality suffers as a result.

Lets face it big companies now make junk. App doesnt work, tech support is trash, Bluetooth device wont sync. JUNK.

This app is useless. It simply doesnt work as designed and besides being clunky, has only frustrated me. I can operate a car, I own my own business and have a degree. The function of this app eludes me. Forget hooking up two speakers to this, it simply doesnt work.

The app doesnt recognize one of my speakers
