Device is good, sounds great, but the app to control device is not useful. I searched and found JBL connect, but this looks like scam. It asks for mandatory location permission. So I uninstalled. So I left with no option.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Great speakers. As a UPS driver, I use mine every day. Over the past 5 years or so I've had several JBL speakers, all of which still work even though the batteries are weak from so many charging cycles. I've had a flip 4 since it was introduced and just bought a second one three weeks ago. I love the size and functionality of the 4. GREAT SPEAKERS!
I got it for my birthday 2 years ago and its good. Good battery life, great sound/bass ratio and its also durable ( i dropped it 3 times on the floor and there's no major scratches or so ). Some people say this speaker is some sort of overpriced but for what you get, the price is perfect.
