Poor service from Sonos APP

So frustrated with SONOS.  Loved it when I purchased when two Play 5 speakers and bridge in 2011. Great sound. Rock solid App.  Then a couple of years ago, purchased the new generation Five’s. But there is no bridge. The sound is great. However the APP is terrible. Not user friendly.  Not stable. Too many times I can’t play anything. This would be embarrassing if I have company. I thought they were working on a better app but obviously not getting anywhere. I still have one of my old speakers with the old APP. Works rock solid. They keep sending me emails about purchasing new products. No way!

 

Moderator edit: Changed “Play:5” to Five for accuracy

A Bridge is the long, long obsolete version of the Boost that is also obsolete. Both are still supported through. 

The Boost is still usable, even if not the best option.

The Bridge is problematic and hard to diagnose so it is best removed and other connection options used.

the bridge yes I remember seeing it .I got in to Sonos during the covid out break and don't need that. so not being judgemental but some time its good to upgrade from the older tech to the newer.but saying that my Sonos amp is great works perfectly powering two passive speakers ,sub, and surrounds. music and tv good to go and also audio etc turntable . gift from wife to start using over 300 lp that were jest sitting .love  ops ,cd,and streaming. all from the Sonos amp.   thank you Stan
