BOOM & MEGABOOM 4+

Just updated to ios13.2 and now I can’t connect to my speaker. I tried restarting my phone. Deleting and reinstalling the app. Nothing. What’s happening here?

UPDATE: Deleting and reinstalled the app worked for me after all. Just hope I don’t have to do this every time.

I bought this speaker mainly to listen to podcasts, audiobooks, and professional education courses I have to get through. As such, I use the “previous track” feature as heavily as the “next track”, and also heavily rely upon the ability to rewind or fast forward (controlling the track from your physical iPhone, this is achieved by holding down the forward or back button). However, the single “magic button” one button on the top of the speaker which is supposed to control music from the speaker without needing to access your device, can only do two things - press once to play or pause, tap twice to skip to next track. Tapping three times does nothing; upon reading the support page, it turns out “previous track” is not a function on this device, anything other than play\pause or next track must be done from your device. In addition, most accessories which use this single\double\triple tap system allow you to hold the second (or third) tap down as a press in order to (respectively) fast forward or rewind within a track. The speaker supports neither of these either. I would gladly edit and update this review should the manufacturer correct this and add any or all of these features on a update (the speaker can be updated through the app).

In the older version of the app that worked with this speaker there was an option to turn off remote power. It’s the option to be able to turn on and off the speaker with in the app. By having remote power on it drains the battery when you’re not even using it. For an example I would charge my speaker to 100%. It would sit in my back pack for 2-3 weeks. When I would ready to use my speaker the battery would be completely drained. When the option to turn off remote power my speaker would still be fully charged after sitting for 2-3 weeks. I really hope this option can come back.
