Keep your SoundTouch speakers useful—fast local control on iPhone and Android.
Quick checks

- Confirm speakers respond at http://SPEAKER-IP:8090/info on your LAN.
When the Bose app itself is the problem

- Free TuneIn and internet radio work without a subscription paywall.
Get back to music faster
- Install ST Remote Pro on iPhone or join the Android beta waitlist.
- Allow LAN access, pick a speaker, test volume and play/pause.

How do I control Bose SoundTouch speakers after Bose support changes?
Install ST Remote Pro on the same Wi‑Fi as your speakers, allow Local Network access, and control hardware directly over LAN. Use TuneIn for free radio and optional premium for Spotify Connect.
Frequently asked questions
Is Bose SoundTouch discontinued?
Bose has wound down official SoundTouch app support and cloud services for many owners. Your speakers can still work on your home Wi‑Fi with a compatible third-party remote like ST Remote Pro. We are not affiliated with Bose Corporation.
What app can replace the Bose SoundTouch app?
ST Remote Pro is an independent replacement for everyday control—volume, zones, presets, TuneIn, and optional Spotify Connect on compatible SoundTouch hardware. Download on iPhone and iPad today; Android is in Google Play closed testing.
Does ST Remote Pro work locally?
Yes. Core control uses your local network (LAN) for low-latency volume, transport, sources, and zones. You do not need Bose cloud services for basic speaker control.
Can I keep my SoundTouch presets?
Yes. Sign in to back up and sync presets to your ST Remote Pro account so favorites survive app changes or device resets. You can export habits by re-saving stations and playlists as presets.
Does it work with Spotify?
Optional premium unlocks Spotify Connect routing to SoundTouch speakers. You use your own Spotify Premium account; one-time speaker activation may be required.

Does it work on iPhone?
Yes. ST Remote Pro is live on the App Store for iPhone and iPad.
Does it work on Android?
Android is in Google Play closed testing. Join the waitlist on the homepage for a beta invite.
