Bose Connect
2024-07-06Upgrading my Apple devices to iOS 14.3 resolved ALL of my previously issues with Bose Connect. Subsequent to the update to 14.3, the app works flawlessly the very first time I started it up; it immediately paired with my first Bose Soundlink Resolve, effortlessly found and paired with my second Soundlink Revolve (to enter Party Mode), and even the stereo mode fired right up. I have now used Bose Connect, from full start-up, on 5 occasions without any of the noted operating issues. I am really pleased with the outstanding sound quality of my Bose Soundlink Revolve, so I was exited to discover that Bose Connect could effortlessly pair multiple Bose devices (Just like Sonos, right? WRONG!). I purchased a second Soundlink Revolve, installed Bose Connect and have had nothing but problems since. Thinking my new iPhone 12 may be the problem, I installed Bose Connect on an iPhone 10. Same exact problems experienced. The Connect app is an unmitigated DISASTER. The app interface has a simple, no frills design that displays seemingly easy illustrations to pair and engage “Party Mode”. I just doesn’t work. In reality, you are lucky to get even one Bose speaker to operate. If you can actually get Party Mode to engage, one or both of the speakers produce audio cut-outs or stuttering. It gets much worse if you engage stereo mode. Is this the best Bose can do to support the interoperability of it’s fine speakers?
