Your feedback on the new Sonos App

Hi EveryoneWe moderators of the community - @Corry P, @Jamie A & @Sotiris C. - wanted to take an opportunity to explain some of what is currently happening on the community.First of all, we value all the feedback you are providing about the new Sonos App. We hear you. Feedback is coming in fast and thick, however - for understandable reasons - and to be frank, we are having trouble just keeping up with it all. For this reason, some topics that have not yet been replied to will go unanswered. We will, however, do our best to amalgamate some of these separate threads into bigger, related threads (such as one big thread for Alarm complaints and another for Queue Management) to be answered en-mass. The threads that are feedback on other aspects of the new app will be merged with this post.Threads that describe issues such as missing rooms and app crashes (those that are not just feedback, in other words) will be answered, as will threads not relating to the new app in anyway, but these

Sonos S2 ReFresh (80.00.08) Perceived Issues_Don't Signal the End of Your Sonos Enjoyment

HelloOK…call me a Sonos Fanboy or whatever you like. I’ve got thick skin and I’m not worried about someone showing up on my doorstep to press a point. 😂That said I have one word of advice regarding the recent S2 refresh (80.00.08) and your valid concerns regarding missing features and that is to CHILL.I say that as I’m confident that the majority of your concerns will be addressed and/or resolved. You’ll notice that I said “the majority” which by statement means that some concerns will not. It would be nice if the final roll-out is 100% positive to everyone’s liking; but in reality that’s most likely not going to be the final outcome.With any software and/or OS change some attributes/features will improve, change or be removed. The ones that are removed are hopefully replaced by something better.It goes without saying that everyone in the Sonos-sphere has a cell phone or tablet…otherwise you wouldn’t be able to use Sonos. Take a moment to think/recall if the OS on those devices are th

new app update

Why in the F*** would you remove the sleep timer and alarm functions on the latest app ? Are you frigging morons, yes that's a serious question. My app updated itself and now those 2 functions that I used ALL THE TIME are gone. Who is the idiot that made that decision, are you trying loose business or just had a lobotomy.

New Sonos application update is unstable and I am unable to use it.

I’ve owned Sonus product since they first came out and I updated to the new versions when the updates are offered. I’m familiar with most of the idiosyncrasies the systems and how to resolve various problems. With the new application I started experiencing speaker dropouts random issues with playback and general instability. =—->My Sonos configuration is as follows. Two Sonos play 1s, Two Sonos ERA 300s with a Sonos subwoofer, Two Sonos play 5s, Two Sonos ports one to a Yamaha sound bar and one to a Yamaha receiver, and One Sonos sound bar. —— I’ve been operating all of these with the previous version of the Sonos application without any problems. When I updated the new application today and I had the following problems.———> Random changes to the volume sliders without my touching them. Random selections of speakers or ports sets without my touching them. Random switching of selected speakers or ports; I would select the sound bar and it would go to the ERA 300s. I would set the

Warning about New App - Do Not Update if you use alarm & other features

SONOS has seen fit to release an update on its app with some features absent.If you want to use the alarm or sleep timer then (caps lock alert): DO NOT EVEN THINK ABOUT UPDATING. Other features, which I don’t use so am unaware of their absence, may not be available too.The “Customer Experience” team has told me: “features such as playlist creation and queue editing within the Sonos app, sleep timers, and local library support will not be available at launch, but will be added to the app on a rolling basis over the coming months”. Months??!! I used to use the alarm feature every day -  not now thanks to this “upgrade”. Why SONOS has launched an app update that’s clearly not ready for general release beyond beta is beyond me.The whole thing is an utter shambles and spoils the SONOS brand.This customer is not happy with his experience.

😱 Nouvelle version Sonos - Catastrophe

Cette mise à jour de l’application Sonos est une véritable catastrophe.Le réglage du son ne répond plus, les alarmes ont disparue, j’en passe et des meilleures.D’une manière générale, plus le temps passe, plus la qualité du service diminue et dysfonctionne.Autrefois, l’application pouvait être utilisée intuitivement par n’importe qui. C’est terminé. Tout est devenu incompréhensible.J’espère que Sonos va réagir rapidement.Je pense qu’on va voir énormément de matériel d’occasion à vendre sur Leboncoin et sur eBay…

Since Monday my Sonos system no longer works

Since Monday my Sonos system no longer works.I had chat support about that (06231849) but the assistant left the conversation!Not only my home automation system can no longer use them, but even your app no longer works correclty.Spotify can't use them either reliably.In your Sonos app (the one on my iPhone, and the one on my Mac), all my connect:Amps (Sonos ZonePlayer ZP120) keep connecting and disconnecting. They keep appearing and disappearing in the list of devices in the app. So I most of the time cannot launch a playback.If I manage to launch a playback, then it will stop after one minute or two.This problem seems to be linked to your last update.Everything worked fine until this week.My sonos devices are connect to my router (D-Link (web smart switch) DGS-1210-24P) through RJ45 cables which is connected (RJ45) to my internet box.I've already tried unplugging the devices (and the router) and plugging them back in : the problem is the same.My router configuration hasn't changed for

new app unable to find system

I open the new app , it says can’t find your system. So I do all the good things, roboot router, reboot speakers , reboot iPad . Works! Bravo. 3 hours later, no music, open app,it  can’t find system. Repeat. Happens at least twice a day with this staggeringly poorly written new app! Hopefully Sonos will decide they goofed and do something positive, but unlikely. FYI Alexa has no trouble finding the Sonos speaker system, and can play from my Amazon music account, radio stations etc. and my router always says the speakers are online and working. It is only the Sonos app that cannot find the Sonos speakers! Maybe I can train Alexa to do everything I wanted the app to do??

New Sonos Update (APPALLING, TERRIBLE, DISASTROUS)

SONOS WHY!! How have they released a long awaited update, and somehow managed to downgrade the whole system?? I will name a few of the features that were available on the previous app, that have now been taken away: Alarm, add a song to the que, add a song to the end of the que, rearrange the tracks that are currently playing, remove a track from the que, SLEEP TIMERThese are some of the major notices that I have experiences. Why why why??? These features were the pinnacle for me using the whole Sonos system. My whole routine has to be changed now, I can't even sleep whilst my sound system is on, because I have to turn the music off manually, which is SO inconvenient, I don't mean to sound like your typical Karen, but cmon I can't be the only experiencing these issues :(Whilst typing this message I checked for an update on the app, and there was one available, and now miraculously the alarm feature has popped up, and I definitely know it wasn't there before, so this update must've adde

Please consider switching to a different community platform (this one is poor)

I have three main complaints about this community...1. Search: When you search for something there is no option to sort the results and no option to restrict the search to specific fields (e.g. restrict search to thread titles). Such features are commonly available on other forums.2. Notifications: You can elect to receive notifications if someone posts a comment in a thread you have subscribed to. But this is too broad. I don't want a notification for every single comment posted in a thread. I only want notifications if someone replies specifically to a comment I have made. This is a common option on other forums. 3. Linking of posts within threads: In other forums its common for a reply to a post within a thread to be linked to that post. For example you can commonly click a link in the reply to be taken back to the original comment. This makes it much easier to follow conversations within long threads, but is not a feature on this community.I’m assuming these issues are related to t

New Android App interface is very frustrating, a step backwards

I’m a long time user of Sonos products with over 20 devices installed in my home.  I also have quite a few streaming services.  Since the upgrade on my phone there are 2 sources that I can NOT find or navigate to, and I’m getting really pissed.   The first is the basic “TuneIn” service.  under my channels I have 40+ items to choose from.  You can not currently find it.  If you try and add “TuneIn” they are pushing their Premium Service that requires an account and I’m sure will not contain my added channels.  Where did the base service go?Second is the Sonos Playlists music source.  It use to be easy to navigate to and pick a playlist.  Now it is nowhere to be found.  I have 50+ playlists that a great amount of time was spent creating and again, the new interface does not provide a way to see them. Sonos, this upgrade is a huge step backwards in my opinion. Not sure who approved the UI but they obviously have not used the old interface enough to know it.  Also half of the info blocks i

New app is terrible

Don’t upgrade to the new app! The UI is not intuitive and functions that I used, like the sleep function are gone. It’s difficult to play from a streaming service. Couldn’t believe that things could get worse, but they have. The first few years of using Sonos were great, but the last couple of years have been plagued with problems. Don’t understand how they expect to sell products when the app is so flaky and you need to use it to play anything. They should have done more user testing before going live.

Don't accept this app!

Dear Community,Many Sonos customers are angry and unhappy at what Sonos has done in releasing a new app which removes a vast amount of functionality, much of it basic stuff, with just the promise that it will be re-added over forthcoming releases. I personally feel that Sonos has treated its customers with derision, and I’m angry and unhappy that this new app was released in such a poor state of development.I have pursued my complaint, asking that the old app is made available again to iOS users whilst the new app is developed to an acceptable level which includes the last functionality.I am asking the community to back this by:Call customer service and demand that your complaint is escalated to the highest level. Don’t accept the “standard” reply that the 1st line customer reps have been given to respond to you … that the functionality will be added over forthcoming releases. Insist it is this is not acceptable and ask for your complaint to be escalated. Unfortunately, it can take ove

Sonos recent iPad app uograde….gold icon replaced by black icon

Hello all. User of Sonos products for over 10 years. Big fan. Is anyone having problems with unreliability of new app? My experience is that it is unreliable, does not show all content, music being played is not shown? Sometimes it all works…sometimes it does not. I am grateful I did not upgrade on my iPhone. Or Mac….hiwever I did hear Mac support is going away….another topic. Thanks everyone.
