The UE Boom app removes support for Amazon Alexa

Bad news for UE Boom users who use Amazon Alexa, the company just removed support for the digital assistant on its Android app. According to a statement released to The Verge, the company wants to focus on the core functionality of the speakers. The update notes on Google Play also state that the app loses support for alarms. Some users also commented that the app also lost the ability to remotely power up UE devices. Many have left one-star reviews over the update claiming it slowed down the app. Amazon Alexa compatibility isn’t completely lost, though. The company notes it’s still available for the Blast and Megablast speakers.
