I would recommend that Grace pre-install a reliable battery pack.

A battery can be purchased separately,from a different supplier, but the battery is a complete waste of money and dies permanentlyafter a total use of a few sessions of a few hours each

I was looking for a device with apps built in so i could play streaming music, primarily Pandora without draining my phones battery.

Plus the battery is hard to

If you want an internet Radio that is portable like this, but that actually works, I would recommend buying a Bluetooth speaker with good battery life and support for OX and USB, plus an old, or cheap android phone, and just connecting them

smartphone app availableTo dislike:- missing touch screen- 6 month optional battery life

I bought the generic battery (seems to work fine)

Battery is worth getting for mobility and long lasting outdoor plays.

My only complaint is the optional battery that I bought for $39.95

The battery burnt up twice for me

If a rechargeable battery is preferred, that could be purchased separately.

if I continued to stream it from multiple devices, I would need to pay for another yearly subscription, so I can't even stream Pandora to the mondoplus without paying a higher fee and still draining my phones battery.

Second it drains the battery even if you turn it off

The extra $ rechargeable battery dies too quickly

I want to point out that all those stations play perfectly well on the other two Grace radios (older versions) as well as on my computer, so there is nothing wrong with the streaming of the station itself

Thirdly, I can't find most of the stations we like, despite searching on the radio as well as on the web.

Customer service is excellent as that it very important to me as well.

This mondo+ is by far the best as to quality of sound, reliable reception across many different platforms, looks, ease of use and availability of a variety of different stations or sources

I t would be much more convenient to be able to do this directly on the radio.
