The Move is great but the app is more trouble than its worth

I use the Move exclusively in my apartment. Sound is great, and I can carry it to room where my wired stereo does not reach (kitchen, bedroom, etc), The difficulty I have is connecting. The app seems like it was designed in the 1930s. Sonos support had not been much help, they tell me my internet service is the problem. Yet, the app sometimes connects and works fine for several days running and then fails to connect. Usually, I just find it easier--and less trouble--to simply connect to a music service on my phone and then stream to the Move, or to use voice control
Pros: Streams All My Music, and More, Superior Sound, Wireless, easy touch and voice controls
Cons: App hit or miss, Difficult Setup, Unreliable
The Move's portability is handy and the sound is great, but this has been the most problem ridden device from Sonos that I've owned. I have had issues with services like Alexa voice control, Audible voice control (just won't work), and unreliable Airplay and Spotify wireless connectivity.
Pros: Superior Sound
Cons: Poor Alexa and Audible integration, Unreliable, Wireless Connectivity Unreliable
I have 6 Sonos speakers and a Beam sound bar spread out throughout our home. I love the ability to play music through out our home. I really like the sound quality the speakers put out. If Sonos had more sales I would have even more speakers (in every room and outside).
Pros: Easy to Set Up, Expandable, Streams All My Music, and More, Superior Sound, Wireless
The move is an excellent speaker with well above average sound given its size format. I use the Move in concert with two first generation HomePods and a WiFi enabled receiver that can play conventional speakers over AirPlay 2. Despite this eclectic mix, whole house audio is a snap. I bought the Move so that I could easily transport it to my outdoor patio. It sounds very well both inside and outside of the house. I have not been able to achieve the advertised battery life but I can easily get about 6 hours battery time when I use the speaker as an outdoor satellite.
Pros: Battery can be replaced, Expandable, Superior Sound, Wireless
Cons: Conflicts with Apple Music app and Sonos app, Not able to achieve the advertised battery life
This is the best speaker that is portable but can also be a part of your existing system. The Bluetooth and wireless works brilliantly. A must for anyone who loves their music and Sonos.
Pros: Different Music, Different Rooms, Easy to Set Up, Expandable, Free Control Options, Streams All My Music, and More, Superior Sound, Wireless
