The new app is so incredibly non-intuitive. I see many complaints. I imagine more would complain if they didn't have to create profiles to discuss in the community. The usability seems bad enough I am questioning selling my sonos equipment. Is there any out there who actually likes the new app interface? Are there advantages? Has Sonos management listened to customers on this issue?
Thanks

Thanks for sharing, avninja. I'm sorry your first thread on the community turned into a war zone of inappropriate comments. Instead of deleting anything, I'm going to remind everyone that personal attacks, inciting others to start them, and using curse words are not appropriate here. I've edited the formatting of that post above from Chris.
Everyone is allowed to share their feedback, and we all need to remember that disagreeing isn't a license to insult. Disagreeing with feedback is also ok. That said, let's all give everyone the benefit of having common interests and remember that we all love music, and want Sonos to be the best it can be. There are a lot of threads on the new app, and we haven't merged them together, though we may do so later. You're welcome to post on existing threads or make new ones. We'll continue to share feedback with the team.
On that note, avninja, the team that designs our app and everyone all the way up the management tree have heard feedback from our customers. We are working on the app and there will be new updates in the future that include criticism and continue to improve on the existing version. Not every upcoming update will have app changes, but you can expect to see some coming in the future as design continues.

I don’t actually think anything will happen unless they perceive a drop in sales, would I sell my system no.
Would I now recommend or buy more sonos no.
If the Apple speaker gets great reviews I many look at a long term swap out.
CEO obviously doesn't boter checking Google Play then as the 8.x app has had a right roasting.
Wonder if i has put any potential customers off?.
I see little Logan's back again. :8

So your story is u r woke AF over forum etiquette in a forum with zero posting rules?Would be believable if u peeps didn't crap all over every slightly negative thread such as how this played out.

I simply said it is more appropriate to post it on the thread about the matter. And spamming the sight with multiple threads is not really very good forum etiquette. Really if the site had moderators like a normal site they would merge those threads in with the prime thread and notify the user as such.

I posted my opinion on the appropriate thread to post my opinion.
I think it is perfectly fine for anyone to start a new thread — they’ve paid their money, and they have every right to be heard, and it is their choice whether it is at the end of an existing thread or at the start of a new one.
If as posted above the CEO believes these people to be a ‘small’ part of the community, then the more threads the better I say. Unfortunately (and this is my opinion only) Sonos seem to have a ‘we know best’ attitude and are not too responsive to feedback. Others will think differently of course — as I said, just opinions.
And talking of opinion, I was in Richer Sounds the other day — they sell shedloads of Sonos kit. I thought it might be interesting to ask the staff (they are good blokes in RS) their thoughts and both thought the product was worse for V8. This, too was the feedback they’d had from customers.
This is all opinion, hearsay, and anecdotal. In that respect worth not a jot. And so will be ignored by all at Sonos, but I feel better for posting it 🙂
Have a great Sunday

Wow such drama. You haven't posted your opinion on the app just that you don't think this thread should exist.

I see - so my opinions on the app don’t matter just yours. Nice and proves me correct. It’s your way and your agenda that is only thing that matters here.

That actually wasn’t intentional punctuation. But does read rather crude. Let me fix that sorry.
Actually won’t let me fix. But the line indentuon there is not intended that way or meant.

lol thats pretty creative, nice job.
The only rude thing was your thread dump, and lame attempts to justify. Major but hurt, SAD!.
Off as some fanboy but basic Internet forum etiquette says you don’t post multiple threads on the same topic. It is just annoying to other users who guess what don’t come here for your agenda.
Wow! And the forum moderators think this is okay?

It only is it rude encouraging others to post multiple threads on the same topic - it is counter productive. No one is gong to pay attention to dozens of “me to thread” vs having those people post in a thread with hundreds of posts that Sonos has said they are monitoring and sending feedback to development.
Of course that isn’t your concern as you have no interests in all the other threads in this forum that ask for feedback and help with other issues that you don’t care about. That makes you less valuable contributor and more troll.
Best of luck

From the message I had from the CEO those complaining are classed as a very small community.
I don’t actually think anything will happen unless they perceive a drop in sales, would I sell my system no.
Would I now recommend or buy more sonos no.

Every Sonos customer should be entitled to make a thread regardless of what other deem acceptable or not.
Bullying people off the forum is not the way to go.
Surely the more threads posted by actual usesrs the better, burying all the complaints in on thread is a very convenient way to hide the widespread disappointment of the 8.xx series app.

yea your that type I mentioned in my post about the new app.
Ugh you said "we" - however many "we" want.
Unless by "we" you mean the small group of posters who do 2/3 of every posts?
Instead of crapping on OPs thread move on and enjoy your Saturday FFS.
