" ... Also, the equalizer on the Logitech app(that you dload to control the speaker)doesn't work . ... "

" ... Couldnt turn it up past 3/4 if that before it would distort to the point I just turned it off and put it back in the box. ... "

" ... The tap controls on the unit I received did not work. ... However, I could never get the tap controls to work at all (tap the top of unit once to play/pause, twice to skip to the next song), even after updating the unit's firmware to the latest version. ... "

" ... Only problem is that the "tap to pause/play" feature often does not work and when it does work it is delayed. ... "

" ... Also, the equalizer on the Logitech app(that you dload to control the speaker)doesn't work . ... "

" ... Basically, this speaker has an "on" button on top and those two ridiculous volume buttons on the front. ... I'm telling you, half the time, even if it registers, you pause when you want to skip. ... There's plenty of space for a Play/pause button and FF/REW on the front next to those huge volume buttons. ... Another problem with the tap system is that it's invisible, so if you are playing music and someone else wants/needs to pause the music they will look at the speaker and have no idea how to do it, and you have to come over our shout to them like an idiot. ... I KNOW the designers have some idea about the inconvenience of this feature, because on the new Wonderboom they put a button on top that works instead of the tap feature. ... They other thing that baffles me is the absence of a REW/Previous Track function. ... "

" ... In order to Play/Pause, you must pick the device up in one hand, and then tap the top (like playing a bongo drum) with your other hand. ... Tap twice to Skip. ... "

" ... No beep, nothing. ... "
