In the new 2024 Sonos App :
Where are the alarms settings?
Where is the Last.fm service?
Where is the Android widget?
This is a real nightmare. I hope Sonos will fix all that asap because what they did releasing this not finished app is scandalous.

There’s no option to manually sort the playing room queue in the Sonos Web App so that is probably something that needs to go forward as a ‘feature request’ and that’s a +1 from me too for that to be added.
I use iOS mostly as my Sonos Controller App and I’m not seeing the issue when rearranging the queue that a selected track I propose to move, (incorrectly) starts playing. I can just grab it and slide it to a different position in the queue.
Are you using the three-lines ‘pie’ grab icon to move the tracks in the queue? - See the attached screen-capture animation from my iPhone controller - I presume the Android controller should work much in the same way as the iOS controller? Try selecting the icon to move your tracks, hopefully they will move and not start playing.
I’m not too sure what you mean on the App search results screen - perhaps post a quick video of what you encounter on that screen.
Hi,
can i make a feature request for the WEB App? Or is it already noticed?
About the Smartphone app.
I know how to sort the songs.
But sometimes you a scrolling in a long playlist for rearranging and then it happens that you maybe lose contact between your finger and the screen and the the song start playing. Same thing if you search for songs in lets say amazon music or Spotify. Asap you click on one song it start playing.
On the webapp or on the windows app you need to do a double click to play a song directly, that prevents to play a song unintentionally or more worse to replace an actual queue with only one song you clicked as mistake during song search.
If you dont know what i mean a try do uplaod a short video.
regards
PS:
The Windows Programm has, as it seems all this function (except the search), but is not supported anymore as far as i know.

Yeah, I understand now, so no need to post a video - hopefully the Sonos Staff will see your feature request/suggestions here and forward them on for further consideration - I’d wait to see if there is a response to your post.
If not, you can always contact Sonos Support Staff via the link below and share your feedback that way instead.

After months of a barely functional app, I am unhappy to say its actually getting worse!
Still cannot create or edit my playlists, and when using a playlist I find it even more frustrating than ever.
1st off, lets say you have a playlist that includes a couple hundred songs and you are playing a song near the bottom of the list, the phone screen times out, you open it back up and find yourself back at the top of the list instead of on the song that is currently playing, so you scroll down and every couple of pages it stops for a second then you continue to scroll then stop then scroll/stop until you finally get to where you should have already been, and if you want to scroll up in a queue , you end up going back to rooms!?!
Needless to say it makes you want to seriosly damage whoever the genius was who created this abortion in the first place.
Then of course there is the issue with volume control of groups, the group must be minimized to control individual rooms within a group (not a problem with iphone but I use an Android). And when you finally get to the group volume you have about 1.5 seconds to find the room you want to turn up or down before the volume option goes away, can we have, say 4 seconds?
And then there is the problem with just too much scrolling in general, the old S2 app was way easier to navigate, can we please just have the old S2 back?
This app just sucks, we have waited long enough, PLEASE GIVE US THE OLD APP BACK, then you can take your time, create a better app (if possible) test it thoroughly and then release it.
Again (and I cannot stress this enough), this app SUCKS!!!
Come on Sonos, its obvious you released this waaaay to soon, and even if it were actually fully functional, it would still be a huge step down from the previous version.
No one, and I mean NO ONE has told me they like this version better than the old one, nobody!
Really bored with the hours of trying to make my Sonos system work, as it suggests it should.
Continually having to delete/reload the app to see speakers, routine stuck in the update-updated-you need an update to work loop 🤯, speakers drop out on a rotational basis, non-recognition of the system on opening the app and don’t even get my started on how utterly useless the roam is
If it wasn’t for how much money I’ve spent on all the pieces, I’d be ditching and actively advising others to buy something else.
Do better Sonos…. honestly, it’s your one job!!!

If you’re having to regularly reconnect devices, my thoughts here are that anyone with the type of issue ‘perhaps’ could have a multicast ‘device discovery’ issue across their network that’s preventing the controller device from communicating with their Sonos speakers. See attached re: SSDP/mDNS.
Such communication failure can occur across networks that use WiFi extenders, EoP adapters, or if managed switches are misconfigured. It can also happen if some settings on a local router are incorrect, or there’s software running on the mobile device that is getting in the way of the multicast communication, such as security software, VPN client, firewall, site blockers etc.
I’d perhaps investigate further in the areas mentioned and if still no luck, then it maybe best to reproduce the issue(s) seen and then immediately submit a Sonos system diagnostic report from within the Sonos App, note it’s reference and contact/chat with Sonos Support Staff via this LINK and see what the Staff can perhaps suggest to help you to resolve the matter.
For the love of GOD fix your apps!! How is it getting worse FFS??
I have a house of 8 speakers and they are increasingly unusable due to your s***** apps just NOT WORKING

Worse? - nah that’s not the case for the majority, it seems. It appears to have improved lots since its release last May - have you spoken to Sonos support? If not, then see the link below to contact them to see if they can maybe assist…

Anyone know why the artwork in the iPad app got so tiny after the latest update? Is that a bug, or do they think that’s an upgrade?
On that vein, does anyone know if Sonos plans to add a single screen interface option, with better artwork and graphics, to use as the main screen? I don’t get why I have to deal with all of these dialog boxes sliding in and out to get anything done, and I certainly don’t get why I can’t have a simple artwork screen to have up while the music is playing. The whole interface just feels thrown together still. I’m ok with it if this is a temporary interface while they’re still fixing bugs, but if this is it, then, it’s awful.

Not sure if it might help you, but here is the Sonos App user-guide. It seems to be working ‘as designed’:

No-one seems to have considered the use of screen space in the iPad UI, especially in Now Playing.
Jeez, I hope that’s not the case. I mean, forgive me for not being up on all the discussion about the new app, and so I don’t know if the interface has already been discussed to death, vs the bugs, functionality, etc.
But…
This is the iPad display in the current version…
On the largest iPad Pro, that artwork measures 1 ¾” square. That’s fine if you’re holding it - but if you use your iPad as a display for your music while you’re doing other things, it’s impossible to see from more than say three feet away. Plus most of the screen is background, the screen is actually three dialog boxes, four ways showing to change the speaker volume, two play pause buttons, etc. It’s a mess, and ugly to boot.
In contrast, here’s iTunes. I’m actually not a fan at all of iTunes, but man, you’ve got 100% of the functionality, presented so much more elegantly. With nice looking artwork.
Nothing groundbreaking, but it’s simple and nice to look at. Even in landscape, with lyrics (lyrics Sonos?), the artwork is still 2 ½ times as large. It’s ridiculous.
Yes the ‘now playing’ screen dialog used to be bigger, but it overlay the mini player - now it’s too small. Not sure why it was never sized to fit the tablet screen space above the mini player, but maybe the dialog screen is used elsewhere in the App and populated with different controls, labels etc. when displayed.
Here’s hoping it will get improved as the development continues, but I suspect the developers have other priorities at the moment.
The mobile phone screen is much better in these areas and it’s clear the App is more-geared for that controller device, rather than a tablet display, as seen below:
Speak to Sonos Support? That's a joke, get put on hold forever..I have 10 as well and they're a s*** show!
