Please go back to the last app, the update sucks SO bad!

Why is anyone who is reasonably patient a "fanboy". I've expressed what I don't like about the current version and that's that. I don't have to dwell on it awaiting the next revision.

Chris, you and jgatie would do well to consider this logic for those of us who think the current app is crap.

I have expressed that I don't like the new app and given my reasons (I think twice in total). I am not going to dwell on it and keep posting over and over my frustration and dislike of the new app. Does my lack of posting mean I have adjusted and now warmed to it? No not at all. I still think it's worst version to date. But I have neither the time nor desire to constantly post about it. But please don't take this as a sign that I and others like me therefore must have adjusted to the app and no longer dislike it.

It seems that if people constantly post their dislike, rants and moans, they are criticised for banging on about it. But if they post once and leave it at that, then their silence that follows must mean they have changed their mind. So how do we let our continued dislike of the app be known without regularly posting our negative views on it?

And jgatie, let the muscle memory thing go. I was able to use this app from day 1. Months on and I can still use it and still dislike it for the many reasons I and others have given. Absolutely nothing to do with just taking time to remember where everything is.

I think it's crap. And I'm not alone.

The 8.0 version is horrible. I can no longer control the groupings nor are my rooms even showing up when the sonos speaker is playing music. I couldn’t even turn my system off tonight when the speakers playing were not even showing up in the app.
Separately my sonos favorites have been reverted to a list that was mine from months ago.

Terrible new interface. I’m trying to revert back to the one that worked.

This update is the worst version ever! Why? Why? Can't you people just leave a working, intuitive, simple app alone?? I would love to go back to the original blue app from 5 years ago! That was the best version ever. PLEASE fix this! 😠

The new app really sucks! Sonos needs to learn the lesson Coke did in 1985 when they tried to shove the "new Coke" down our throats! The people spoke out and Coke was forced to bring back what is now know as "classic Coke". The more we speak out against the new app there is a better chance they will produce an app that flows like the old one. Evey one I know that uses Sonos absolutely hates the newer app.

I purposely created an account in order to voice my opinion that the new interface on 8.2.1 is a huge step backwards.

I am annoyed and my wife is down right livid!
Thanks Sonos!

The new upgrade is like moving from digital to an 8 track tape. There was clearly no beta test. Sonos has done so many things right but the next "right" thing to do is go back to the previous version or simplify the operation immediately. This is so painful I created a userid just to post my frustration.

I hate it —- I can use it, of course I can, but I still hate it. Not in isolation, but because of what came before. I don’t mean version 7. I mean because over the years Sonos have eroded the overall experience on small devices (phones) and large devices (tablets), with bad design choices and then digging their heels in. It’s hard not to weep for the Sonos of several years ago.

And the vast majority of my posts are helping people. You would see that if you ever ventured out of these complaint threads.

Wtf Physician heal thyself, your post history shows this to be completely false.

But like you say you can post what you want where you want since Sonos is all good with it.

I have 14 Sonos speakers around my house which were in constant use by all 4 members of the household. Since the update to v8, the usage has dropped to practically zero - the teenager in the house who used to be on Sonos 18 hours a day now solely uses headphones plugged into her iPhone. 100% of us don't like the new user interface on IOS. I dislike it so badly that I don't use the app from my phone at all anymore, it is totally counter intuitive and much slower and harder to use than earlier versions. If the next round of updates don't bring back some improvements in the iPhone app user interface, my Sonos system will be going on ebay.

Now you downplay that ploy with "it's just banter" and dismiss it as my delusions?


Did I say you were delusional?

andrew, you and others have made it your mission to shut me up. You succeeded.


Oh, by that do you mean you have been spoken to by the mods ?? — I have never told you to shut up, and I don’t have that power, but they do. I see one of your other nasty aggressive threads was shut down though.

Jgatie, I repeat — it is JUST an app. Stop the harsh words, the unpleasant tone, the aggressive stance. Before you get this thread shut down too.

Andrew

Jgatie... give it a rest. The last version was worse than the version before, and this version is worse than the last. Just let people have their say. Stick to “sighing” and telling people to turn their systems on and off again if you want to rule the forum (or start your own).
