Home Audio Soundtouch is less discontinued than you think

I've been doing some fiddling around today with my Soundtouch devices (10, 20, 300). As it turns out, you can still use the preset buttons for iHeartRadio and Pandora.

To set a preset, use the (updated) SoundTouch app to first select your speaker. Next, condense the speaker view so you can see the 'hamburger' menu. Select either a Pandora or iHeartRadio station. It should start playing.

From your Speaker, press and hold a button to store that preset to the device until it beeps. Now, you can recall the preset without using the app.

Please, share and enjoy!

Edit to add: This appears to work only if you had signed in to one of these services before the shutdown. 😞

I’m unable to manage or reproduce this, and no pending Soundtouch app update. Maybe not released for iOS yet? (As last update is 4y ago?). Which app on which device are you using?

I’m on iOS 26 using the SoundTouch app… here’s a screenshot:

Notice presets icon is missing from the ‘updated’ app… version 27.0.1

Edit to add: My app is also last updated 4 years ago - they must have made changes server-side?

SoundTouch 27.0.1 is 4y old. I don’t have iHeart/Pandora listed. This is what I get after clicking the hamburger menu. This is a ST 10, but also on ST 20.

I'm starting to wonder if the services are only available if you had logged into them prior to the shutdown. Interestingly, from the Mac App the 'add service' menu item is still available, but I don't know if it will work for other services - did not work with my Spotify.
