Love the speaker; hate the app
This has a great sound, so glad I opted for the 20 over the 10. We use it all the time to stream radio, from all over the world. I think it was easy enough to program the six presets. And it looks very, very sexy.
But, the desktop app. ARGH. It's awful. Every time I use it (rarely, because it's so awful) it updates, and then needs to update the actual speaker. And then it futzes around trying to start but doesn't. I can't believe that something that makes a quality speaker like Bose can't design the operating apps - they're like something out of 1995.
But I do love the speaker, so I had to give it 4 because I couldn't give it 3.5.
Purchased in February 2016 at JB Hi-Fi Retail Stores.

I've just updated the app (again), and the speaker software (again). And I can't help but think that for the great speaker products BOSE makes, it really doesn't take the whole IT/app/interaction thin...
Read moregy too seriously. It's seriously left wanting. I really do want to revise my star rating to 3 I think.
