Android S1 app crashing on a variety of search tabs.

All of the same issues with Galaxy S10+.  Plenty of memory, etc. Not a phone issue. Own a serious Gen 1 collection of Sonos. Not giving it up for their planned obsolescence! Fix it Sonos! 

Same issue with me.

As soon as I type one letter when searching in Stations or Genres, the app crashes.

I’m/we’re SOL, correct? (i.e. Sonos doesn’t care about S1 folk)

(If I “browse” either, it works)

App = Android S1 11.2.3, build 57381090

Phone = OnePlus 5T

I just chatted with sonos support - all they had to offer was “re-install the app”. 

Same problem here. Feeling very aggrieved. Lot of money invested in Sonos kit, but now have the dreads that it is soon to be redundant. Why would anyone buy a Sonos now. I've only had 5 years out of my kit. The HIFI it replaced would still have been going strong, and would have had components that could be repaired.

Same issue here. Can't search multiple categories without it immediately crashing. Have tried reinstalling, clearing cache, etc. 

I see that one user called out the fact that Sonos is working on a fix. However, it's pretty sad that Sonos support couldn't come back to this thread and acknowledge there is an issue and they they are working to address it. I understand bugs happen, however, there is no excuse for poor communication.

I've been having the same issue for quite a while now - crashes on multiple search tabs for Genres, Podcasts, etc makes the app pretty useless. Sonos, we are still waiting for your response. Is this your strategy to force people off S1? Very sad. 

To get around this, I realized I could use the windows app to search for radio stations. I then add the ones I want to try to my Sonos favorites, which then show up on the app. Definitely not ideal but it was impossible to find radio stations without search. 

For podcasts I use Pocketcasts, so I do my searches on that app and add them to my favorites within that service, they then show up on Sonos under my pocketcasts account.

It can't be that hard to fix this and have a quick release. The "new" Sonos app has been updated a bunch, lots of complaints on the app store about that one, so I guess that's more important to them. You'd think they'd take care of existing customers on the idea that these people are already in the ecosystem and more likely to expand. I'm glad I never pulled the trigger on the home theater setup.

Mine is doing the same on Samsung Galaxy S20 4G

Now I've noticed that when you browse ...

"on this device -> podcasts"

... the app crashes. I'm not sure the "on this device" feature even works anyways.

Is one of the stages of grief "begging", because I have nothing to bargain with. Can you please just fix this crashing problem? I'm not asking for new updates or new features, I just want it working the way it was the last few years. I understand you don't want to support the old speakers. I'm ready to be abandoned and have services slowly stop working, I just don't want it broken at the outset. It's like being put in a life raft without oars. I promise I'll move on to acceptance, I just want this one little thing. 

​​​​​​Why don't you just open source this stuff? Imagine what an engaged community could do with this.

Same issue with Redmi Note 7 & Galaxy A50
