Cant get passed update screen

I am trying to set up my new Sonos (Roam and move 2) I’ve created my account, connected my speakers and now it’s telling me there is an update available and I must login as the owner. I am logged in as the owner both in my app and website. When I click continue it just keeps going back and telling me to login as the owner. I can’t get passed this screen. I’ve tried logging in and logging out and deleting and reinstalling the app. I have the lastest versions as well. Please tell me how to fix this.

New SONOS iOS app (May 2024) is TOTAL RUBBISH!!

The New Sonos iOS app is absolutely terrible. If you haven’t upgraded yet please please don’t. There are so many missing features and bugs to boot. It looks like an pre-Alpha version of software rushed to market without being properly tested or checked.PLEASE PLEASE  PLEASE Sonos bring back the S2 app for download on the App Store. If I could downgrade I would do it in a heartbeat. I’m a long time user and fan of Sonos products but frankly this is a big miss a disaster. This new app is almost unusable. This is Sonos’s Windows Vista moment. Please listen to your users Sonos, negative feedback is everywhere now. Please give us back the S2 app whilst this one goes back to the drawing board or perhaps the trash can.

New interface / app is non-intuitive

Sonos, your new app is not at all intuitive and feels like a marketing committee’s attempt to smash all of the relevant things into whatever THEY felt was “cool” Do you have a way to roll back the UI to the old version?  I play certain playlists every night and one of them is a playlist I put on for my boys, every night.  The Sonos Playlist is now two layers deep, and not even listed alphabetically.Seriously.  What is wrong with you people?! You’ve taken it upon yourselves to make the app completely dysfunctional from a UX perspective. What a mess.

amp will not register to existing system

New Sonos app, existing system. Added Amp to system, fails at registration, after successfully entering PIN and pressing the sync button. WTH… usually Sonos products are rock solid.

New Search and Music Library

I note from the post announcing the New Search that local music library was not included.  I’m puzzled by this as I can’t be the only person who has hundreds of albums in their local library.  I have two questions:Why was the local library excluded from the local search? Do you have plans to retrofit it into the New Search, and if so when will this happen?

sonos Port NOT linking to my account

Hi. When setting up a new Sonos Port to an existing system it doesn’t want to link to my account. Have tried the Fix It option a number of times but it still fails at the point where the app attempts to link up to my account. Any ideas how to fix this please. Thanks

revert to previous app

Hi, new sonos app was just installed on my android. It is a mess, half of the services won't work, can't find the other half. Design is chaotic. Had my favourite radio stations on top, now they are mixed and hidden somewhere. How do i revert to the old version?

new sonos app released 7th May 2024 issues

 Apart from the listed problems with music libraries, sleep,alarm, wifi channel options missing and Rova issues, I’ve noticed another, forgetting Sonos systems.This is when i leave my home system and go to work which we have Sonos, when i opened my app with the old app, this would seamlessly connect to the work system, then when i get home seamlessly connect to my home system and so on. Now the new app requires me to ‘join new system’ every time i go to work and come home. It doesn’t remember or seamlessly change between the 2 systems. I also tried this when going to my parents home and brothers who have Sonos. I am on their local networks and the same issue. I have to join their system, then i get home and have to join my system. Too many bugs on the new app, and Sonos should allow us to download the old app until they sort out all the problems. Im sure once the bugs are ironed out, this new app will be a better experience. I have noticed when it is working, it is quicker on connectio

New App - music mix

Good day, I so wish I hadn't installed the new app. I am unable to play my artist music mix having installed the new app on my android phone. Fortunately I haven't installed it on my iPad so I can still play artist music mix from there. My subscription service is Deezer. Has anyone else had this issue? Any solution would be most welcome. Thank you

App new Update- Cannot find balance under EQ

I have a speaker pair on which I previously could adjust left and right balance.  With the the new app update I cannot adjust left and right balance !!! So my speakers are stuck with the balance towards the right speaker which I use when I work at my desk.  Please tell me how to adjust balance with app new update or explain how to go back to previous version. This is not acceptable.The whole update is clunky and hard to use.  Also it seems the app is pushing you to use Sonos music services.  And it feels like you are bing pushed to use Voice App.I have spent $$$ on speakers to listen to my music.  The app should let me do that easily and seamlessly.

Calm Radio another victim of this week's update disaster?

Calm Radio stations don't appear in the wake of the app update disaster. The service is still there, but it does  nothing. Yet the Sonos status page lists it as working. That's three of my favourite services gone today--Calm Radio, CBC and Amazon Music. Great work, Sonos!

New Sonos ap update sucks! How can I down grade again

I just upgraded to the new version of the app. I understand that it usually takes some time to get used to it. But my major way of listening to music is my local library. Not only can I not fast forward to where I need to go → used to be type a letter and you are thereNor can I not search the library anymore.Until you have this changed back or fixed please tell me how to downgrade the softwareI’m a sonos user for more than a decade and I have thousands of dollars invested. Please let me use my music system again!!!! Sonos does not need to look like Spotify!

New Sonos App - Utterly useless!

I’m sure it’s not just me, but it’s possibly the worst ‘update’ yet! Can’t find half of the things which were previously easy to access. It’s a big 👎from me!

New SONOS app: many features no longer available!

Think twice before you install the new SONOS app as at least the following features are no longer available (temporarily or permanently):Sleeptimer has disappeared completely. Either you sleep the entire night with music on or you wake up to switch off the music… Quite defeats the purpose. Alarms: creating and editing an alarm is no longer possible. You can only toggle an existing alarm on and off. Local music library: make sure you don’t remove it as it is no longer possible to add a local music library stored on a NAS or shared device. Also the search doesn’t work on the local library any longer; it only searches the online music services. Sonos seems to have finally let down its initial user population that made Sonos big before music streaming services existed…Either this is a deliberate choice by Sonos to reduce the functionality or someone validated a pre-beta release for production to meet some preset deadlines… In any case, don’t upgrade if you need these features.

sleep timer missing on new app

Why have Sonos removed the sleep timer function in the new App . This makes my speaker useless to me.    Waiting for a response from Sonos but if nothing forthcoming I will have to ditch it and change brands as I use it all the time.  if you’re having the same issues please email Sonos as well, the more that do should hopefully make them take some action !!

New Sonos App broke my entire system. It is unstable

Dear Sonos,The new app uploaded itself on apple devices and now my system is completely bricked/useless. I have ZERO components in my system. I have tried to factory reset it, doesn’t work. Tried resetting the app, doesn’t work. Tried to get hold of support to no surprise ZERO chat reps available at 10:30 eastern time, and 50 minute wait for support.Do you people sit in a room and make up ways to piss your consumers off, because you are AMAZING at it? This entire system is about 24 hours outside of going in the garbage can since i can’t use them anymore.

Sonos alternative

So I'm fed up with hardware being forcibly outdated and then an app released which removes functionality and is basically pushing UAT to us consumers. SO... what is the alternative to Sonos? There must be a better platform who respect their customers!!!???

Worst user experience ever!

New S2 App is Horrible! What were you thinking? This launch could not have been fully baked. How did you allow this to happen? So you crash and burn the launch then go run and hide? Very weak, so disappointing. Here’s a thought, fix it, like STAT.

Stuck on ”allow access to local network” in new app. Help!

Deleted the old app (ios) and installed the new one, but now it won’t get past the ”allow access to local network” message. Even though I’ve allowed access on and off several times.So basically I can’t use the app at all. Can’t add or edit speakers, nothing. Spotify is now my main Sonos app……Have tried to reinstalled the app and restarted the phone several times. Anyone with the same issue?
