You'll find more details on the Bose Soundtouch products and what they
support, the article is a little old but most information is relevant
today and other services have since been added.

That's cool. They actually sent someone. Yeah I like Bose speakers well enough.
My only beaf now is they don't have a 7.1 system at the very least. I have
heard speakers that seem to have more highs. Which I love for things like
Godzilla 1998's tornado blast roar as the toy boxes always called it.
Seriously especially Trendmasters. Ahahahahaha! Right now the crispist thing I
have is the JBL speakers in my Samsung TV-monitor. I love hearing Zilla roar on
those. You hear the wistle nice and sharp. The Soundlink system 3 did pretty
good with this. Shockingly better then the Companion 5 vurtual surround sound
USB speaker system. The Soundlink Mini onthe other hand, not so well. The Mini
2 which is now shaped like the system 3 and has the buttons in the same order
as the system 3 did a bit better and worse. Wander how the sound touch stuff
will do.

Yes, there are differing opinions on the quality of Bose audio - my opinion is
that the sound from Bose products isn't what I'd get from other stuff I have -
however a couple of things are clear, Bose as a company make products that are
easy to use, convenient to use and their service/support is second to none.
When I first got the Soundtouch last year I wanted to know how to update the
firmware so I rang Bose to ask, Bose asked for my details and I had a chap on
the phone next day from Bose who arranged an in-house appointment with me to
show me what steps I needed to take, I certainly didn't expect that and was
hoping for a read from the manual, the procedure is laid out but the buttons
one needs to pressed are depicted in picture form as is so often the case with
manuals these days.

When I first got the Bose Soundtouch the IOS App was very difficult to use but
not impossible.
I've not had IOS for 2 months so I've no idea if the App has become any more
accessible butI can tell you that the App was updated for IOS was updated
several times when I was using it and improvements were added thus.
For accessibility as I remember things the IOS and Android Apps would be about
equal now.
The Windows App was accessible though you had to know exactly what you were
doing in order to use it and the Mac App wasn't accessible at all last time I
tried it, time to try all that stuff again as I'm wondering whether I should
buy the Bose Wave Soundtouch or something else.

Oh this is just way too super epic dude! How more accessible is it than the IOS
app? Or are they quite equal? I was shocked to leain when I first heard of the
sound touch stuff that it was so inaccessible as it was. I mean, come on. This
is Bose we are talking about here. Bose who use to even do stuff in braille.
Very odd.

Subject: Multi Room Sound Controlled By Your Android Device
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.
