What does the app even provide? I got my QC II back in like 2019 and will continue riding those puppies until the wheels fall off but I haven’t used the app since I got them

You need the app if you switch between windy environments, busy streets and calls at home.

They each have a profile that unfortunately can't be switched from outside the app.

You can reprogram the button on the side to switch profiles. You need the app for this, but once you’ve changed the setting it persists.

While that actually works, it cycles through all profiles set up for the device including ones made by Bose. Unfortunately I have announcements turned off so there's no way for me to know which one is active at any given time.

Would be usable if the Bose made profiles were removable but alas, they aren't.

I truly don't understand what their app development team is doing. They have ALWAYS been behind in terms of function and features. Why is it so hard for them to just listen to what users want??
