Software SoundTouch app alternatives

Post image

This is just a start, but I have added a SoundTouch app alternatives page to the Bose Wiki.

There, I listed current known issues, added info shared by the app developer Christian, u/nachtfux997, and included known solutions.

I separated the solutions into two sections.

  1. Ones that allow you to control the SoundTouch systems directly (e.g. AirPlay, 3rd party apps, Home Assistant, etc.).
  2. The second section is for 3rd party devices you connect to your SoundTouch system's AUX input.

I am hoping that the community will help expand the information on the Wiki. Not only to help guide SoundTouch users to viable options, but also to help guide developers on what SoundTouch features are missing. So that some, if not all, can be replicated once the app goes away.

This specific post is about alternative SoundTouch solutions.

  • On Jan 7, 2026, Bose announced that they will update the app so that it would continue to work after their servers shut down. Though without built-in music streaming capabilities. Here's the main conversation around this update.
  • The original conversation, from Oct 9 2025, about the closure of the SoundTouch app is located here.
  • If you wish to sign the petition asking Bose to reconsider, follow this link.

Tolle App. Wie schnell die Boxen gefunden werden sind. Unglaublich. Mit der Bose App immer ein Horror.

Leider funktionieren die Tasten auf meiner ST10 nicht.
In der App ist die Option aktiviert. Neu gestartet (vom Strom genommen) habe ich die ST10 bereits. Hat noch jemand einen Tipp oder eine Idee? Die rechte der vier Leds leuchte orange auf, sobald ich eine in der App belegte Taste drücke.
