LG XBOOM Reviews

*** Only gave it one star because I had to.

Just purchased a new stereo system and of course bought an LG sadly though that was my biggest mistake and of course once again another product of theirs does not work like it is suppose to.

... and therefore no access to the tools to power up, control EQ, LED lights, etc.
I tried reloading LGXBOOM , forgetting the device, everything. It simply does not recognize the PK 7!
LG, get your act together! This should just work.

Shame on Apple for approving LGXBOOM to be in the store. They have not allowed much more finished apps in LGXBOOM Store due to “bugs.” Not sure how this is kept on the store due to it not even recognizing that you are connected to your speaker. Shame on LG, shame on Apple.

Got a XBOOM pk7 downloaded LGXBOOM and nothin

It won’t pickup the speaker at all first I thought maybe the speaker was defective but I tried it on my friends cheesy 60 dollar phone and it worked fine he also has a pk5 that works no problem so I tried his pk5 on my phone still nothing how is it working on his cheap phone and not my 7plus??? Very very frustrating

On a side note it seems you DEVELOPERS don’t care LGXBOOM is as low as it can be rated it seems you don’t wanna do your job a deliver a working app STEP IT UP

LGXBOOM doesn’t do anything. It loads up and does nothing. It doesn’t pick up any of my music. I have Apple Music and it’s supposedly suppose to work with it but it doesn’t. It doesn’t see anything or do anything. There’s really nothing else to say other than to don’t bother wasting your time on LGXBOOM. The most useless app in the Apple App Store. Apple should remove it from their store as it’s an embarrassment to Apple.

How can you sell such an amazing speaker but can’t fix an app, it’s been over a year and i still can’t connect my iPhone to the speaker using LGXBOOM, how am i supposed to update my speakers software if i can’t connect it to LGXBOOM , I’m a huge LG fan so I’m extremely disappointed and disgusted with the disservice we the customers are getting with LGXBOOM and noone on the other side seems to care, save your money and buy a Sony or JBL instead they don’t have these simple to fix issues and don’t ignore it.

What is the point of this “app?” There’s nothing there and it won’t connect to the device, even though my iPhone 12 Pro Max connects to it. I tried several different ways, to no avail. Ridiculous! Thank goodness the speaker works great, I just wanted to see what other features LGXBOOM might have, like Sonos gives you. I guess LG doesn’t want to play with the big boys...

I just bought an XBOOM Go and it doesn’t connect to the iOS app at all. I used my mothers Samsung and it worked first try. It’s obvious that LG is neglecting its iOS customer base. The speaker is amazing but I’m considering returning it due to the lack of functionality without LGXBOOM . I can’t tune the EQ, edit the light settings, or see the battery percentage without it. Get it together LG.

I got LGXBOOM with the intent to update the firmware on my pk7 speaker. Even with the current software update to LGXBOOM , it still won't recognize that the device is connected, rendering it completely useless. Apparently this has been an on going issue for months now, please fix this.

LGXBOOM is a perfect example of people NOT caring. It just doesn’t work, plain and simple. Even when connected to my phone itself it shows as disconnected in LGXBOOM . I’ve had bad apps before but never one that just didn’t do anything but take space. I give it -10 stars

by Kegler

Today had an update and it says minor bugs fixed but still doesn’t connects to the speakers to be able to update the firmware.
Why did you make LGXBOOM available for IOS if doesn’t work at all?
What kind of bugs you think you are fixing here?

by Improve This App LG

After updating LGXBOOM & the speakers LGXBOOM no longer has the party link feature & some other features have disappeared from LGXBOOM also. LG you guys need to fix these bugs or improve LGXBOOM after the update LGXBOOM has become useless

by GreenWolf Delta

Paid $460 for this LG speaker and LGXBOOM won’t even pair with the speaker on my iPhone or iPad. I can only connect the Bluetooth which only let me get up to 25 out of 40 in volume and I can adjust EQ and other settings on the speaker. Waist of money. Will never buy LG again.

by Cortesroly

At some point I thought the speaker was bad,is buffering looking to connect,and say!!, no device connection or XBOOM no connect or pairing problem,all the rest work,bad app,only works the first time i bring speaker

by Socalcappy

LGXBOOM doesn’t work even though my phone connects just fine with the pk7. I can play music but LGXBOOM just says disconnected. Tried with my iPad too. LG, this should be compatible with Apple products!

by BuitreLemus

They said disconnected

by Teenage Gamer 99

It is a great idea for an app but it will not let me connect my lg pk7 to LGXBOOM and I have read in other reviews that people are having the same issues and I believe that it is because we have i phones and it is not designed to work with iPhones. I would love if you guys aka the developers could fix this.

by 00N0B0DY

There is no light adjustment or settings icon at all in my app which I just downloaded today.

by Mace S.

Got a PL5 for free with a CX and LGXBOOM works just fine for everything that it promises to do. Could have more lighting options though. Not sure why all these negative reviews saying it's broken; maybe people aren't connecting through the system-level Bluetooth menu before trying to use LGXBOOM ?

by MattBatFilmsYT

I own an LG XBOOM PL7! And, I love the new UI update just made 2 days ago. It’s so much better and a much cleaner design, the XBOOM Team is doing a really good job making the product on LGXBOOM side overall a lot better. The speaker itself is PERFECT!

by Eric Iverson

I downloaded LGXBOOM hoping for a great experience and maybe a firmware update and it won’t connect to my brand new PK7W.
I expected more from you LG how is the iPhone version of LGXBOOM this broken. One Star 👎🏻.

by Studente_1

But that’s it. No access to the lighting scheme or anything else for that matter. I have to use my daughter’s Samsung to connect and make changes or update. Come on devs- take some pride.

by QeertySunny

Did LGXBOOM even go thru the basic testing. I’m unable to connect to the speaker via app. My phone is playing music on the speaker connected via Bluetooth as I write. But LGXBOOM shows disconnected status.

by Chehab1

Please update your app and his features and needs lots of updates. I got a speaker from LG. It doesn’t work that well with LGXBOOM at all. If you guys are up to your app on a regular basis it will be extremely helpful for users to use LGXBOOM and have the latest features to LGXBOOM . PLEASE UPDATE YOUR APP

by JohnK1971

Even though the PK7W is connected and can play music LGXBOOM will not connect to the speaker. So unfortunately you cannot check it update firmware version. Unacceptable.
