This app does the job fine. If you’re HBO g problems connecting the speaker to WiFi to the speaker using the App, you’ll simply need to reset by using a small pin to press the button next to where the power plug is inserted into the device. I learned this from Mario at Hk support who was an absolute stud trouble shooter!

I recently upgraded my routers. I have HK Alure portables that have worked fine for years. But after my new network was in place one would not connect. After a lot of troubleshooting I reset it to factory. Only to discover that the app had not been updated for two years and would freeze during Wi-Fi setup. I bought a HomePod Mini. Then I see that the app was updated just days ago. So I try again. You get to the step where it says connecting to Wi-Fi and checking for update and it fails. But it didn’t fail. Whose stupid idea was it to make that a single step! What failed was likely the connection to check for updates as the Alure portable has been discontinued. My firewall shows both Alure devices on wi-if. And The app shows both devices and I was able to re-register with Alexa. Unless you are totally discontinuing support for the Alure portable then that step needs to be split. Otherwise remove the Alure portable from the app. I give this 2 stars because my skills got this to work despite poor app design.

Have been trying to connect this allure for three hours!!! This company is ripe for a class action lawsuit, how can you sell a product that does NOT WORK!!! Going to return it, and buy something like a JBL that has what’s called a SEAMLESS user interface, BEWARE, if you buy the allure, you will never hear a note of music playing from it because the app will not connect to ANY network.

Worst speaker ever!! Always have a hard time connecting. I have to redownload the app every single time. After having it over 2 yrs now it won’t connect at all.

What a shame. It could be great but it is horrible. The most frustrating apps I have to deal with. It simply does not work 99% of the time. I should have read the reviews here before buying an Harmon Kardon Alexa speaker now I’m screwed.
