Bose Music App— How to Download
Bose has updated the App known as "Bose Music." It was previously known as "Bose Connect," so make sure you choose 'Bose Music' as it supports most of Bose's new products. The latest version provides improved features and much better controls for newly developed features.
Click on the Play Store icon on your Android phone and type "Bose Music" in the search bar. Select only Bose Music from the list, not Bose Connect. After the download is complete, then click on "Install." After the installation is complete, tap on "Open."
If you don't have an account on the Bose app, you'll need to create one. This will give you access to all of the features and benefits that come with owning Bose products. You can easily contact the support team when needed, and use the same login for all Bose apps like Music, Connect, etc.
- To create an account, open the App and tap "Sign in" or Create Account.
- Scroll down to the bottom of the screen and tap Create One.
- If you want to create an account using an email address, tap Sign up with Email.
- If you want to create an account using your Apple ID, tap sign in with your Apple ID.
You can also create an account using your Facebook ID by tapping Continue with Facebook. We recommend signing up with your email address so that you can stay up-to-date on info about your product and reset your password if needed.
Now, follow the instructions in the app and enter your basic information to get started. In no time, you'll be on your way to enjoying all the features of the app!
