Disappointing

I love Samsung products. Most of my electronics are Samsung, so I had great expectations for the R1 speaker, but was sadly disappointed. First, the app is terrible, probably the worst I've used. It doesnt detect the speaker no matter what distance its from it. Tried about 10 times. One time it said it was connected, but it wasnt, and the speaker did not show on the drop down menu to select. I deleted the app and conected using Bluetooth only, which was quick and easy. The speaker sounded great, no doubt about that, but there are no options to control the sound other than volume. There is no power button, no way to select the style of music you're listening to, or a manual equalizer. It doesn't even have bass and trebel controls. Its possible that the app has those options, but I wouldn't know since it doesnt pick up the speaker. For me, probably the worst thing is that the speaker must be plugged in at all times. It does not have a rechargeable battery so you are unable to take it with you anywhere, unless you unplug it then plug it back in and reconnect to it. That's pretty much the deal breaker for me. I will be returning it tomorrow.
