I've had a Bose Soundtouch Portable for 9 months.
Initially the only way of controlling the Soundtouch was via the IOS
Smartphone App but Android Lollypop has changed all that, the Soundtouch
Android App works quite well and I'm able to get to most of the
functions I need, I can search for stations, browse the station list,
look at what I've recently listened to, select which preset I wish to
hear, browse my media library on my UPNP media server, select what I
want to listen to on pandora and so on.
I'm not saying that accessibility can't be improved upon because it
certainly can but enough information in the App is provided to give you
a hand and an idea of where you are and what you're doing, given that
then there's no reason why you shouldn't be able to make near to full
use of the Soundtouch system as intended.
The Bose Soundtouch system comes in 4 models to my knowledge, the small
portable which has a surprising level of sound which will easily fill a
medium-sized room or apartment and is fully portable and can run from
its internal battery and moved from room to room, the mid-sized tabletop
model, a bigger tabletop and the Wave Soudtouch which incorporates multi
band radio - including AM and Digital radio in some countries - and a
Multi format CD player.
