I am very disappointed that you cannot power on the speaker via the app. I have a Bose speaker that is seven years old and I can power it on there. The app, you would think they would do the same for an updated product.

Hello Mike.

Rest assured, we'll make sure your suggestion reaches the right team for future consideration.
Thank you again for sharing your idea and helping us shape better experiences.
I am so happy about the sound quality. However, I do not like the Bose app that connects to the speakers. I have several other Nose systems and my older systems use Soundtouch app. Which I prefer much better and it connects better. Unfortunately the new app doesn’t let me link to my old system. It also uses Bluetooth connection so every time I receive a phone call the music stops. Very disappointing Bose app
