Love the Move! I've got three rooms with wired speakers driven by Sonos amps. Now I've got my portable component I can take outside to our patio or upstairs to my office. The Move is the perfect compliment to my wired system!
Pros: Easy to Set Up, Streams All My Music, and More, Superior Sound, Wireless
So far I love this produce and has lived up to it's billing!

Had it set up professionally and love it so far! My wife and I listen to our own music within various rooms of our house. The move also let's us take our music outdoors or when we go away!!!
Pros: Different Music, Different Rooms, Expandable, Free Control Options, Streams All My Music, and More, Superior Sound, Wireless
The sound quality on this speaker is phenomenal, and this is coming from an audiophile. It fills up any size room, and is also excellent outdoors. It syncs well with bluetooth but much better with wifi via the mobile app. It does have some issues that need to be addressed, all from the software side. It's advertised as being compatible with google assistant. While this is technically true, it very rarely is able to connect, even when in high wifi strength. It takes quite a while for google assistant to recognize it's being called, and even longer to perform simple tasks or answer questions. Many times the google assistant times out before it's able to respond. The software also does not sync well with music services like Spotify. While apple music works much better, the Spotify app fails regularly, even though it's connected to my google assistant. Final thought is on the wifi connection through the mobile app. While this works well, you have to open and engage the app to make any changes. The app does not show what's playing on the phone home screen. There is also no widget for iphone to make changing the song or volume easier. This would make a work of difference to be able to change the song without needed to open your phone and app.
Pros: Easy to Set Up, Superior Sound, Wireless
Cons: Poor connectivity to apps like google assistant, Poor connectivity to apps like spotify
The app is terrible and very difficult to use. The playlists often include cover band instead of combinations of artists songs. It is difficut to add, delete or even select the input tied to the output. I am amazed the hardware is very good and the app is so bad.
Pros: Easy to Set Up, Superior Sound, Wireless
Cons: Difficult to Use, Multiple Rooms / Whole House, Volume
