BBC Sounds on new App - the fast forward (30 seconds) and rewind (15 seconds) controls are no longer available.
The Repeat and Shuffle buttons are shown instead.
Can you restore the forward/rewind controls please.
New app….
Old App with fast forward / rewind..
It’s not just BBC Sounds, it’s everything so far as I can see. I’ve used the Spotify and Pocketcasts services as well and I can’t find those fast forward/rewind buttons on any of them. I also can’t find anything in settings that would allow the customising of that screen. It’s very annoying and I’m hoping I’ve just missed a setting somewhere because otherwise if you just want to rewind a minute or so, you just have to drag the bar and hope you’ve got it right. It was much easier with the dedicated buttons.
I contacted Sonos support about this yesterday and was told that this function has been removed from the app. This is highly annoying and inconvenient. I listen to a lot of podcasts and audiobooks. The ability to easily rewind by a small amount of time is important. It’s nowhere near as easy to do that by scrubbing back through the podcast timeline. As far as I understand it, there are no plans to address this in any upcoming app release.
Im surprised more people haven’t mentioned it to be honest.
