9.1.2 4 days ago
Urgent Stability Update & Bug Fixes
Custom Stream Fix: Resolved an issue where Custom URLs failed to play from the Favourites menu. Custom audio streams now deploy flawlessly across Favourites, Scenes, Presets, and Recents.
Pull-to-Refresh Calibration: Tamed the swipe-down refresh gesture. It is now much less sensitive and restricted to the top header area, preventing accidental triggers and unnecessary "Speaker Unresponsive" errors while navigating the app.
Scene & Preset Protection: Improved hardware stability by gracefully blocking unsupported Spotify Connect streams from being saved to physical Presets or multi-room Scenes, preventing network lockups during deployment.
Highly recommended update for all users to ensure maximum app stability.
9.1.1 17 Sept
What's New in Version 9.1.0
We are thrilled to bring you a massive stability update! Version 9.1.0 completely overhauls the native network engine to ensure Controller Pro never drops a connection to your SoundTouch ecosystem.
Pull-to-Refresh: Added a native, highly responsive pull-down gesture to the dashboard. If a speaker ever locks up, simply swipe down to instantly clear network deadlocks and force a fresh hardware sync.
Bulletproof Stream Switching: Implemented a new network Circuit Breaker. The app now handles slow, broken, or unresponsive radio streams gracefully without freezing the UI or dropping your connection to the master speaker.
UI Anti-Jail Protection: You will no longer be locked out of the interface while waiting for heavy audio streams to buffer.
Smarter Auto-Adoption: The zero-touch deployment scanner for the Controller Cube is now faster and more reliable, bypassing lengthy network sweeps whenever possible.
Enhanced NAS Support: Added native timeout protections when injecting Smart NAS drives, preventing the app from hanging if the physical hardware takes too long to respond.

9.1.0 16 Sept
Version 9.0.3 is a massive under-the-hood networking upgrade designed to make your SoundTouch control faster, more reliable, and visually richer.
What's New & Improved
Instant Hardware Discovery: We completely rebuilt the native local networking engine. Say goodbye to the "endless scanning radar"—the app now bypasses the iOS network gatekeeper to lock onto your SoundTouch speakers instantly and reliably.
Flawless Multi-Device Sync: Status indicators now perfectly reflect your hardware's true state across all your iPads and iPhones simultaneously. No more mismatched green and amber dots when controlling the same speaker from different devices.
Smoother Adoption: The entire speaker adoption loop has been stabilized using a new, dedicated TCP socket bridge, ensuring your hardware links up perfectly on the first try.
Bug Fixes
Album Art Restored: We resolved an issue where Apple's strict local network security rules were silently blocking standard HTTP images. Your NAS drive album art and TuneIn radio station logos will now populate perfectly across the Favourites, Presets, and Now Playing screens.
9.0.3 11 Sept
What's New in Version 9.1.0
Deep Multi-Pass Discovery: Upgraded network scanner now cycles through 3 distinct discovery passes with extended response windows, reliably waking and finding sleeping legacy hardware (SoundTouch 10, 20, 30, and Wave).
Hardened Speaker Adoption: Overhauled the Over-The-Air Cube pairing protocol with strict hardware acknowledgement checks, eliminating NVRAM buffer drops and "Adoption Failed" timeouts.
Seamless Spotify Connect Scenes: Resolved audio buffering loops when deploying multi-room scenes or waking paused Spotify sessions.
AirPlay Optimisation Refinements: Streamlined background network cache flushes with hardware-specific response handling for older wireless chipsets.
Performance & Connectivity: Native Android socket bridge enhancements and stability improvements across all speaker models.
9.0.2 9 Sept
Version 9.0.1 delivers major architectural polish and highly requested bug fixes to keep your SoundTouch ecosystem running flawlessly.
Smart Standalone UI: The app is now completely self-aware. If you aren't using the Controller Cube, the interface seamlessly transforms into a streamlined remote—gracefully fading out unsupported hardware features (like Native Stereo Pairing and NAS browsing) so your dashboard stays perfectly clean.
Spotify Buffering Fix: Resolved an annoying issue where speakers waking from standby via a Scene or Preset would get stuck in an endless Spotify buffering loop. We engineered a new background kickstart sequence to force the session to resume instantly.
Advanced Subnet Scanner: Upgraded the network discovery engine. If your home Wi-Fi router uses a different IP range (e.g., 192.168.1.x) than our default cold-start scan, you can now force a custom subnet sweep right from the connection screen to find your speakers in seconds.
Hardware Protocol Polish: Rewritten audio routing payloads to banish the "amber flash" on the physical speakers, ensuring streams connect smoothly whether you use Bluetooth, AirPlay, or native hardware proxying.
Thank you for supporting the project and keeping the music alive!
9.0.1 7 Sept
Controller Pro Update: Infinite Favourites & Smart Streaming
Infinite App Favourites: We have officially broken the 6-preset hardware limit. You can now save an unlimited number of web radio stations, podcasts, and custom streams directly to your App Dashboard for instant access.
Smart Stream Engine: The "Play from URL" feature has been completely overhauled. Modern audio streams (like .m3u8 or secure HTTPS links) that normally crash legacy Bose hardware are now intelligently routed through your phone's native audio engine (via Bluetooth or AirPlay) for flawless, uninterrupted playback.
Dynamic UI & Metadata: We have introduced a sleek, unified 'Save / Favourites' console to the main dashboard. Additionally, the app now actively intercepts Bose's generic "Bluetooth Device" text, proudly displaying your custom station names on the screen while casting.
Intelligent Saving: The save menu now acts as a smart router. It silently detects your hardware capabilities and automatically routes your saves to either the physical speaker NVRAM or your digital App Favourites based on stream compatibility.
9.0 3 Sept
Physical Button Programming: Controller Cube owners can now map TuneIn Radio and NAS drive files directly to the 1-6 hardware buttons on their Bose speakers straight from the app.
Dynamic Save Menu: We have introduced a smart "Save to Speaker" toggle. You can now choose to save stations locally to your phone for quick app access, or inject them directly into the speaker's internal memory so you can listen without your phone.
Smart Ecosystem Detection: The app automatically adapts to your network. Standalone app users will seamlessly default to local app presets, while Controller Cube owners will have the premium hardware-writing features automatically unlocked.
Under-the-Hood Optimization: Enhanced network payload handling ensures that when you write a new station to a physical button, the speaker syncs flawlessly without creating duplicate memory errors.
8.7 2 Sept
What's New in 8.5.1
