Alarm

I used to adjust my alarm weekly if not multiple times a week with my fluctuating work schedule. I know with the upgrade the alarm function was removed. However, my previous sonos alarm keeps going off every morning and now I can't edit or cancel it. I can no longer sleep in on my days off!!! Help! How do it get this fixed?!?

new app - platlists and playing local folders gone???

What did they do with the Sonos app???I have a wd my cloud network hdd where i have stored a lot of music.With the new app i am still able to see all the folders with my music in it on this hdd. The problem is that the play button to play an entire folder is gone so i am only able to play one song after each other.Also all of my playlists that i had made are gone. It feels like you buy a car and after a few years the manufacturer takes away the steering wheel... I was always very impressed by Sonos but this is gone in minutes when they do something like this!!!

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 Sonos app removes key features - beware!

Having just upgraded to the new app, I’m utterly amazed at how poor it is from a user perspective.There is no longer a volume number indication You cannot edit queues You cannot add single songs to a queue as ‘play next’ or ‘add to end’ You cannot create or edit any alarmsHow did this get through any UAT? These are basic features every Sonos user has enjoyed for years.Absolutely ridiculous, please add this functionality back ASAP.

TV Settings on new Sonos App

In the new Sonos app, when you navigate to Settings>Room with TV/Playbar, the TV Settings allowing you to connect remote and others only shows up some of the time. Products and Sound headings always show up but I have attempted to connect a TV remote only to not find the menu the next time I open the same app window.

cant connect sonos one to my existing system

I am trying to connect a used Sonos one to my Sonos system I can see it on the app (I have the new just released 2024 app) and it makes all the right noises and everything works even assigning the speaker to a room until registering when it says:There was a problem adding your Sonos One to your system. Try again laterSonos one is not registered I’ve rebooted the Sonos one, rebooted the router, turned my iPhone on and off, then factory reset the Sonos one and even connected with an Ethernet cable to the router but it always stalls at the same point - it takes an age ‘Linking your Sonos one to your account’ then always the same result: There was a problem adding your Sonos One to your system. Try again laterVery much appreciate any help

Feedback on Actual Usage of New Sonos App

Just installed the iPad version. Definitely do not like the app compared to the old one.The new app feels way more busier, due to everything being thrown at you at once (which was their design intention). I’m not saying this approach can’t work though. I’m just saying that the way they designed it, it doesn’t feel right.In terms of the look and feel, it feels less stylish to me and more cheap. Like it feels like I’m using the Amazon Alexa app (which I hate). The album covers are smaller and not as pronounced, compared to the previous apps recents area.And the Now Playing screen on the iPad?! Like WTF? Why is there a gap around it showing the interface area behind it (ie Home area)? Why isn’t it full screen (and without rounded corners)? Makes zero design sense, as it’s super distracting, only adding to the busy feeling of the screen. Also see no option to make the app dark instead of light.All said and done, this just makes me want to not use the app at all, unless there are substantia

NAS or library removed from the new app???

It seems that the ability to play from a local library or a NAS server has been removed in the new app.This has major consequences for us who play music in an Odd Fellow lodge that we ourselves have recorded and own.This means that sonos is now completely useless to us.It is a significant deterioration and means that we can no longer can use sonos at all, and must find a new alternative.

I've rolled back to version 16.1

The new app is an unmitigated disaster. I think on that everyone seems to be agreeing.I’ve now rolled back to the previous version on my Android phone. Its a bit of a fiddle but can be done. Its definitely worth doing. It suggest others who are frustrated with the new version do the same.

Sonos New App Response?

Has anyone heard anything at all one way or another from Sonos about the new app: defending it, giving updates on return of missing features to new app, possibility of rolling back to old app, full apology, etc.?  I have not seen or heard anything myself other than their own backslapping on social media sites and on the top of their own website.  I kind of feel like they just don't care about us existing customers and hope that this whole new app total failure "expletive"-storm blows over.  I, for one, feel so let down by their "just don't care” attitude toward their customers that it would be hard for them to recover my loyalty and trust.  Some of the missing features, like playlist and queue management and the playing of my local NAS-stored music, are absolute show stoppers for me and will drive me to quickly find an alternative to Sonos for my hard-earned sound system buying dollars.

the update/android

So, with the latest update to the app, the ability to use a widget has disappeared, do we think this is just something that is yet to come with another update "sigh" or has it been missed completely?

New app & music library - several questions

Well, what a disaster. Here is another long-time Sonos user utterly baffled as to why this app upgrade was released. I would appreciate answers to a few simple questions.I have a large (approx 2000) library of CDs held on a usb drive, connected to my router.The new app finds the library, but there is no album art. Why?If I search for an artist, it brings back options for Spotify, Mixcloud, etc etc, but not my CD library. Why?My playlists (some of which have hundreds of tracks) appear in the Sonos favourites section, but if I click on them, there is no track listing. Why? Once they are playing, I can click on a button which shows the track listing, but how do I edit the playlist?If I go into my library and drill down to a song, the option to add it to a playlist has gone. How do I do it? In fact, how do I create a new playlist???!!!How do I tell Sonos to re-index the library when I add another CD? In the old app I set it to re-index every morning at 3am. Is that still happening?All of t

How to Rollback to S2?

Please provide a rollback option to S2. The new app was advertised as a feature upgrade.  No mention of feature losses.  We got feature losses and no warning.  No informed choice to delay the “upgrade.” I cannot add a single song to the queue.  Basic queue management a critical feature that somehow didn’t make it into your MVP. Now you expect your user base to wait months to return to feature parity.  Months.   Do you realize how ridiculous this is from a user perspective?

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 iPad App Experience (plus some iOS feedback too)

I upgraded two of my iPads to the new Sonos app release, and while I am not facing the challenges that many are facing, I do find the UI “looks” good but doesn’t “feel” good. iOS/iPadOS apps are supposed to feel native to the platform - that's why Apple provides robust APIs for UI design. The old app, while not perfect at least adhered to some design principals of iOS apps like the navigation bar at the bottom with the 5 buttons. That is now gone in the iPadOS and iPhone app. It makes no sense! This app does not feel at home on iOS/iPadOS anymore. I don’t want the app to be the same across all OSes - I want the app to feel at home on the devices I use it on. It should have a different design for Android and feel like an android app. It should feel like a Windows app on Windows, and macOS app on macOS. I get companies one this “write once run everywhere” cheap way of development but it sucks for users.  One other thing on iPadOS - why is the “Your System” stuff a super-wide bar at the b
