No rechargeable lithium-ion battery!
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The specifications note this has a rechargeable lithium-ion battery, that is not the case! I returned it because that was a feature I was looking for. The only power source is the plug in cable; no mention on the box or instructions of a rechargeable battery. Also, to have the alarm function the JBL OnBeat app must be downloaded. This app hasn't t been updated since September 2012! So needless to say the recent reviews were not positive. I didn't even bother with it. When I returned the item the customer service person was informed of the incorrect info on the website, but I see that has not been corrected.

alarm app does not work, it is useless
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.If you want a speaker is it ok, however there are a lot of other external speakers for a lot less that sound just as good and are much cheaper. They advertise it as an alarm, however the free app you must download for the alarm function simply does not work. When you over sleep and look at your phone to see why alarm didn't sound, it will tell you alarm is working, however amp is in sleep mode so it does not disturb you. The Rep gave me a song and dance that even an idiot wouldn't buy. It is advertised to function as an alarm clock, which only works if you want the alarm to wake you within 10 minutes of setting it. The weather function is also a joke, as it will not stay on the location you choose and gives you weather for somewhere else, there is no where to save your choice of location. This is shameful and the product it going back.

Terrible!!
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Sound is ok. Its totally app dependent. iHome is more user friendly and easier to set the alarm. Its pretty loud and has clean sound but if the iDevice isn't in the dock or in the bluetooth range, then you won't be waking up to get to work on time. My Galaxy SIII wasn't able to play through bluetooth.

I wouldn't waste my time!!
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this speaker for the bluetooth connectivity. Needless to say, it will not stay connected. Connection times vary each time from 15 minutes to 3 hours, but it always disconnects. You can dock it, and play your music forever, but if I wanted it for that, I would have bought a cheaper one.
