Review Text: Excellent Rugged Speaker - Poor App. The Bang & Olufsen - Durable Portable Wireless Bluetooth Speaker in an Anthracite-colored, hard-coat anodized aluminum casing is rugged, beautifully manufactured and produces excellent 360 degree quality sound. Why take away a star for such a stellar outdoor-ready, Bang & Olufsen high-quality sound speaker? Because the controlling B&O application is not ready for prime time. During set-up, I downloaded the B&O app from the Playstore and proceeded to chose the Beosound Explore from the list, as instructed. After myriad attempts, fully charging the speaker, turning the speaker & Bluetooth off and on, restarting and reloading the app, the app still could not find my new Beosound. It hasn't yet. This is even though my Samsung phone found it immediately and connected immediately. And even though my Samsung television found it immediately and connected beautifully. And my Asus computer did the same. This small, portable, light-weight, well-built speaker that comes with a carabiner and built in strap to carry on your belt, vest or backpack sounds great with all these sources and is really impressive with its full-bodied sound. I am just sorry that I can't get the app to recognize that it exists, so that I can remotely control it. B&O, it is time for a bug fix.
