I'm a little sorry about this purchase. The sound for music isn't so great. I DO wish it had come w\the adapter that I see that is SOLD for extra, this way there is a choice, & we ALL love choices. I don't even know if I can use any adapters that I already have.

Hi Sheri,
Thanks for leaving us your feedback. We're sorry you are disappointed that this doesn't come with an adapter. Any adapter that uses a standard USB cord should be able to charge your device (most phone adapters etc. should work). Please let us know if this is helpful or if you'd like to speak with us further please contact us at 1-888-999-4215 or prodinfo@dpiinc.com.
First product of this kind i have ever purchased seems to do all that is advertised but the battery life is miserable, instructions are vague, charge light stays on constantly when charging, never goes off until charger is unplugged. Portability is an issue unless you can plug it into a power source, probably look to upgrade in the future. Definitely entry level.
Here it is november 26th. i see Pandora still isn't supported . Have to use the phone app . For the price i expected more

Mike,
We understand your frustration with the lack of Pandora and want to assure you that we are still working to get Pandora/Spotify supported on this speaker. We will update customers as soon as it is available.
Disappointed about the battery life but it was expected based on the reviews.
I’ll be returning the speaker because I cannot ask it to play Spotify, the app is not supported and that is the main reason I wanted a smart speaker was to control music through that app. Very disappointed that the speaker doesn’t support one of the most popular music apps.

Kali,
Thanks for the review. We completely understand your frustration with being unable to play Spotify. We are working on an update that will allow a connection. We will be sure to let customers know when this update is available.
It might be just me but the app does not help much. For example I’m on the ET zone every time I asked Alexa what time is it she would go three hours ahead. They so go into settings to change but you can not.

Jessica,
From the Alexa app you can go to settings, select the device name (this will be Concierge) and select the device time zone. This link may help you: https://www.amazon.com/gp/help/customer/display.html?nodeId=201601980

These devices paired fine, sound nice, BUT don't integrate into home automation systems like a regular Alexa, and the Micro USB connections are a horrible idea. They should have opted for something more durable like a Lightning connection or something. Bought 6 units (the max), and now have two that are dead because the Micro USB adapters are so fragile! Very disappointed.

Ken,
We're very sorry to heard the adapters didn't work out. We'd be happy to assist you in a warranty order for more adapters at 1-888-999-4215 or partsinfo@dpiinc.com. If you are no longer under warranty, we may still be able to help resolve this issue. We look forward to assisting you.
Sure wished I could use Alexa commands for Tidal and Pandora.... great speaker nice sound quality however not being able to use the voice commands to play my music from both apps that re previously downloaded sure do sucks.

Keiontae, we understand your frustration. Amazon is currently working on an update to release to retailers like us who've made an Alexa enabled speaker that will allow these features to work. We hope they are swift in releasing this update and customers like you can enjoy the music streaming services you're accustomed to once again. Thank you for your review and understanding.
