Bose SoundTouch 12+

We all know that we are completely satisfied with the hardware of the Bose systems and laud the benefit of music throughout the home or indeed the benefit of your new SoundTouch 300 so reviewing hardware is of no benefit to anyone here in what should be a review of the SoundTouch app. I am not new to criticism of the app in recent upgraded versions and the use of the nondescript “Pavlov inspired” graphic interface that unfortunately reflects the ideas of the current design team. There should have been some consideration of the integration of the positive aspects of earlier versions where the interface was more meaningfully interactivity and of where I still review screen shots of these earlier versions with sheer disappointment. Bose SoundTouch hardware should be reviewed elsewhere not in this site. Please let us have some response or maybe constructive criticism of the SoundTouch app because without such we, as dedicated Bose users will remain in the same state as Pavlov’s dogs when it comes to the control of SoundTouch.

I have had a SoundTouch 20 for a couple of years. Recently added a SoundTouch 10 to the network and the adapter for the main stereo. Easy to set-up. Great sound.
For me the SoundTouch 10 is moved around as needed, I move it when I'm cooking at the BBQ, out on the deck, working in the garage etc. Would be great if it had a built in battery to make it fully portable (within the wifi range).
The remote has 6 presets which is fine but I wish the app had room for many more favourite stations rather than having to search again. Even a "recent stations" with a history of 20 or so would suffice. Maybe in the next update???

The SoundTouch app works well and does what it says is going to but I can’t say I’m totally satisfied at being unable to combine and use speakers from the SoundTouch range (I have a sound bar 300 + SoundTouch 10) and the latest Bose releases. This make continuing my expansion through my home more difficult. I either have to sell off my SoundTouch (which was only purchased shortly before the new bars release) and by the same bar technologically minus Alexa built in (S700) and sell my S10 or continue buying SoundTouch units that will eventually not be supported anymore or be discontinued. Leaves me in a rock and a hard place. If all Bose speakers worked off the one app it would make life so much easier and I could hit 5 stars. Flexibility for the future and not making people’s investments in quality audio products redundant will ensure people always buy Bose over everything else.

1 app + all Bose speaker range = 5 stars
