Buyer Beware. Don't buy a Marshall speaker if you intend to use it for Alexa/Google or Spotify. The app is literally broken. Unlike others, I managed to connect to WiFi but I can't connect to Alexa. I sent a message to Marshall and I will update this review if they can fix it but I haven't seen any examples of it working online.

This is very poor software - having spent hours trying to connect utilizing it, I contacted Marshall support via Chat on their website. We did a factory reset, and then deleted and redownloaded the app. They were unable to connect me with WiFi. Marshall rep suggested I sacrifice some audio quality, return this and order the Bluetooth version of the Stanwood II. All because of the buggy software? You can do a lot better and note that with the Voice features this app is supposed to provide it is worthless to have paid $150 more for this version of the speaker if you can't use Alexa, nor get your speaker on WiFi.

Some corporate or office Wi-Fi networks will have restrictions on which type of devices can connect to their routers. In the chat, you explained that you were at the Office on a guest network. For this reason, a Bluetooth speaker was suggested due to the environment in which you will use the speaker. Have you tried to set the speaker up at home?

This app is complete garbage and the Alexa enabled speaker is the most obnoxious piece of technology I have ever owned. I work from home and this speaker is constantly interrupting meetings with its Alexa bs. The app itself hasn't worked in months and I just uninstalled after giving up on it. Hopefully my last eq settings were good, since I won't be able to adjust them now. Overall pretty annoying bordering on infuriating ownership experience.
