How do I turn off in app alarm notifications?

Thank you.

It is annoying behavior IMO. Give us the option to turn this off… 

A lot of us use these “alarms” as “schedulers”.

I have a TON of these playing random music throughout the day. You are litterally spamming me with pop-ups now all day long, that I have to click a thing to make go away. My guess is a bunch of us use it the way I do. 

Even if I weren’t using it this way I can see how this would be utterly annoying to some just using it as an alarm. There are 2 types of people using alarms as alarms. People that get up immediately or relatively immediately after alarms. 2) doofuses that hit the snooze over and over again pissing off their roommates (the person that will find your annoying snooze useful).

Understand that people use this function as a scheduler, not just an alarm. You should re-brand the concept that way anyway...

Isn’t the the Sonos ‘Alarm’ feature an ‘Alarm’, not a music scheduler? My guess is your requirement for a music scheduler is something different, eg something like this:

It’s called an “alarm” — I’ve used it as an alarm and a scheduler. It’s another thing that worked, then they took it away, then they brought it back, then it’s buggy sometimes for some people, and now they’ve made it completely worse because now it is spamming me with garbage I don’t want to see. 

If I open the weather app on my phone, I don’t want a stupid pop-up notification that says “hey buddy, just so ya know, there’s weather happening…” No s*** really? Then I have to click that stupid message off to get to the damn weather.

Very annoying update.

Please shut off or give the ability for us to shut off the alarm notification. Who asked for this, And why did you implement it without making a setting for users to shut it off? The app doesn’t have a dedicated music scheduler, so many of us use the alarms for this purpose, and now we have an annoying pop-up to deal with. In my case, I have three alarms per day where I have the music changing. The options for these features are fine, but you have to add them to a settings that we can control. Please keep user preferences in mind when implementing UX changes. Thank you

Please give us the option to turn this off. Everything the user has said is spot on and the pop up is completely unnecessary if you use Sonos alarms as a “music scheduler”, which by the way is a completely reasonable, logical, and even previously advertised way (advertised by Sonos themselves) to use the alarm feature. 

Driving me crazy too!!

Please remove the updated SNOOZE feature on ALARM or create a SCHEDULE feature to the SONOS app…PLEASE!!

This isn’t how the notification is working, at least in my case. The pop-up appears each time I open the app, and sometimes again in-app when I perform an action like adding an unrelated (i.e., not alarmed) speaker to a group. Moreover, every notification itself claims that the alarm has been playing since [current time], not the actual alarm start time. 

I somewhat understand the intention with this notification. However, please make it truly dismissible, not something that appears each time I open the app.

Just give the option to disable that pop up.

You and your selected pool of beta testers might enjoy seeing this or have any use for it, some users don't.

Why anyone would need that pop up ? If one wants to snooze the alarm, one clicks on the stop button in the player. Exact same number of clicks, exact same behaviour. Value of that pop-up : zero. Only a nuisance for some of your customers …

And that damn pop up appears anytime you open the app, not only once per alarm. Contrary to your expected behavior …

Sonos absolutely needs to allow us to choose to disable this stupid “feature”! I have my favorite station set to wake me up and play for a few hours. I want my three wall-mounted controllers to show what’s the station is playing, NOT a stupid message I have to dismiss ON EVERY CONTROLLER! Just one more thing Sonos forces on us.

At least give us a global setting to TURN OFF the annoying, unnecessary “features” (aka BUGS) you add to your poorly-designed, un-beta-tested app.

Why not add the USEFUL feature we have been requesting for TEN years, the option to have the NOW PLAYING screen be the default screen that the app returns to after selecting a program.

This is just such classic Sonos bs.

Instead of using finite development time to fix the myriad bugs/poor UI choices in your dreadful app, you decide to add extra functionality which nobody wants or needs, which serves no useful purpose, and which actively annoys users.  And of course it is forced on customers rather than being optional.

If you’re looking for things to mess about with, I have plenty of suggestions.  For example, how about with the alarms, instead of having to set a volume, have an option to maintain the existing system volume?  So those of us who use the alarms as music schedulers throughout the day can (for example) have an alarm which changes the radio station at 10am from a news station to a music station, but maintains the existing volume.  There you go, functionality which actually adds something useful.  It’s not rocket science.

Who thought this was a good idea?  Stuff like this makes me wonder whether anyone who works at Sonos actually uses Sonos.

How long does it take to make an update? years???... 

At the day, there is a identical alternative to sonos which is more user friendly.. lots of people will change…

Sonos Dev's... go to work, test like you are the customer and go ahead…
