Description

Worried about losing your internet radio when the Bose servers or TuneIn shut down? Looking for a fast, reliable, and modern control app for your SoundTouch speakers? You've found it. Better ST is designed to keep your music playing. Key Features: • Zero Friction: No accounts. No Bose servers. No tracking. BetterST launches instantly, auto-discovers your devices on the local network, and respects your privacy. Just open and play. • Hardware Preset Buttons Keep Working: Better ST Server helps restore part of the official server functionality, so you can continue using the physical preset buttons you love. Once configured, your speakers can work independently without relying on your phone. • Super Presets (Scenes): Go beyond simple stations. Create custom "Scene" buttons to trigger Party Mode—instantly syncing Multi-Room groups and setting specific volumes for every speaker (e.g., "Play Jazz on Kitchen & Living Room at 20%") with a single tap. • Liquid Glass UI: Fast, fluid, and built exclusively for iOS 26. Experience a stunning, native interface that feels right at home on your iPhone or iPad. • Instant Access: View Now Playing info and toggle Play/Pause at a glance. Best of all, launch your Super Presets directly from your Home Screen to activate your perfect scene without even opening the app. • Global Radio: Powered by Radio Browser, giving you integrated access to a massive library of thousands of global stations, filterable by country, genre, and quality. • Siri Shortcuts & Magic Wake: Want your speaker to start playing alongside your morning alarm? Leverage our powerful Shortcuts integration to create a "Magic Wake" automation, bringing your SoundTouch into your daily iOS routines. • Full Remote Control: Master your sound with precision. Manage volume, playback, device grouping (Multi-Room), and fine-tune your audio with dedicated EQ settings. • Mixtape Mode (NAS): Turn your local NAS folders into a retro music library. Curate your favorite collections into virtual tapes for true gapless playback. Technical Details & Hardware Control: Supported hardware capabilities include: • General Systems: Rename speakers, adjust bass levels, modify group settings for Video Sync, and disable the auto-off timer on most SoundTouch devices. • SoundTouch 20 / 30 / Portable: Toggle the front LED clock display. • SoundTouch 300 & Lifestyle 550/600/650: Access advanced home theater settings. Adjust individual center channel and surround speaker volumes, manage HDMI-CEC settings, enable HDMI-In, assign the source button on your remote, and toggle Speaker Selection. (Note: Availability of specific hardware settings depends on your exact SoundTouch model and current firmware version.)

Build 886348244v2.1.02026-05-31 19:17:01
What's New in Better ST 2.1: - Smarter Super Presets: We've refined the saving experience! When creating a Super Preset, the app now asks if you want to include your current volume and Multi-Room group settings, giving you more precise control over your scenes. - Real-Time Sync: The app now instantly detects when you save a preset using the physical buttons on your speaker and automatically refreshes the interface. - New Siri Shortcut (Standby): Automate your bedtime routine! You can now use Shortcuts to put your speakers into Standby mode. - Declutter Your Dashboard: You now have the option to hide specific devices or groups within the "Reorder Systems" view to keep your home screen clean. - Server Migration Wiki: Added a comprehensive Troubleshooting Wiki with compatibility reports and step-by-step guides to ensure a smooth transition for all device models. Improvements & Fixes: Added more detailed network information to Device Info, and fixed several bugs related to Multi-Room groups (including issues with dissolving groups when the master speaker goes offline or removing individual speakers).
Build 885769219v2.0.02026-05-21 05:50:34
Better ST 2.0 is officially here! In this major milestone update: - Better ST Server Release: The wait is over! We have launched the Better ST Server, which fully restores the functionality of your physical Preset buttons. Go to Settings -> Server Migration to read the introduction and get started. - Massive UI/UX Refactoring: Enjoy a completely redesigned user interface with extensive visual optimizations for a modern and fluid experience.

Build 885353087v1.4.02026-05-07 16:40:59
Urgent Bug Fix & Status Update: - Emergency Hotfix: Fixed an urgent issue where the Bose server shutdown could prevent devices from playing audio. Impact of Bose Server Shutdown on Better ST: - Playback Mode: Standard Playback Mode will no longer work after your device reboots. Better ST will automatically fall back to Compatibility Mode. This is expected behavior and does not affect Radio Station playback. - Features Unavailable: Due to this playback mode change, the Mixtape feature and the physical Hardware Preset Buttons will unfortunately no longer function. - Looking Ahead: I will update the in-app FAQs with more details in the next version. I am also actively investigating ways to restore the Standard Playback Mode in the future.
