Ratings and reviews

It's a massive oversight that I can't view connected devices in the app and that there's not a button in the app yo turn on pairing mode. Some cheap Soundcore A40s I got from Amazon had this feature. These Bose headphones are amazing but getting them to connect to some devices that dobt have quick connect is a massive pain, e.g. trying to connect to a Nintendo Switch. I got them to show up once but not again and have never been able to get them to connect.

The earbuds are what you'd expect from Bose. This app, though, is horrible. Anytime I open it, it causes problems. If you open the app, it throws off your earbud connections. They act like they're not paired to other devices. Force close the app and suddenly they connect again? Click a link in the app, say for the manual or something, and it takes you to external web pages, some of which are broken and just go to the hosting site (not Bose).

I liked it until the most recent update. prior version had clear instructions on setting up tap commands. they don't appear to be in the new one. their Shortcuts selection is what looks to have replaced it, but I haven't been able to figure it out. I have always liked Bose products. still do. but I have also always said they build awesome audio equipment and it is evident apps are not their specialty.
