Alarms "hidden" in System Settings with 10.4

Really annoying to search Sonos help to find the Alarm "button". Total waste of time. Put it back on main menu! User since 2013, not liking wacky updates.

I agree. I have alarms that don't change and alarms that change daily. What a pain it now is to set and/or update an alarm. Even just turning it on or off takes too long. Obviously the developers don't use the functions they work on.

This is a really bad change to the user interface of Sonos. Alarms aren't a system setting. They are used really often, especially to the people with often changing schedules like me. Also the alarms interface (when you get there in the end) is worse then before. Only 2 alarms are directly visible, in earlier versions of the app you got 5 alarms in one view which gave a lot better overview.

Sonos please put the alarms up a level!

We have three people in the house with different routines and set alarms daily. The move the the bottom of a scroll of a submenu is really inconvenient and unintuitive.

Move alarms back to the top menu, please.

the monochrome buttons also suck. What the hell, designers?

At first I thought I was going senile while trying to set the alarm, then remembered that Sonos likes to fix things that aren’t broken...

Please put the alarm function back up to a level one menu!

I rarely find fault with Sonos, but I feel I need to comment on the “hiding” of alarms in the latest version of the software.
I use alarms frequently, and now you’ve hidden them in system settings, under System and then at he bottom of a list of products (6) so quite a long list, and other items. Don’t you want people to find them? Why not put the timer settings under the first level of settings along with Services, App Preferences etc? Just a thought.

Have always liked (do like, very much) my Sonos, but the one thing that really ****** me off is illogical UI change like this. In a previous UI change (happily now reverted after - let say - "quite clear" user feedback) the background turned white rather than black - illuminating my whole room while listening to music to relax in the evening lights dimmed, quiet music and a 5" rectangular phone illuminating the whole place!

Now "data" (bad data analysis at least...) has made the UI/UX guys decide that an alarm is a system setting at the same level as audio compression or date/time. Really? Less regularly used than setting up music services or account??? I call BS. I am certain that the data can say this - i suspect a majority never use alarms - but for a minority of your users we use it several times a week. You need to read user data based on more than just frequency (otherwise Sonos will just end up with a "play Sean Mendes" button at the top to suit the populist masses...)

Put alarms back in the level above... as another poster pointed out, there is even a gap on my (not big) screen at the bottom of the menu it should be in!

Throw Services down a level if you need to - I have 2 or 3 and last looked at that when I changed an email address or something ..

Alarms? Every. Single. Day.

Just adding my voice to the chorus requesting that alarms be moved up a level in the menus. Alarms are not a system setting!

I agree to the feature being a function not a setting as I as well change alarms weekly. More importantly though is the missing snooze button on the pop up notification in IOS. The alert pops telling me the alarm is activated but no way to snooze, if I touch the alert it just opens the app, still no snooze option, or is it buried somewhere else? Not being able to snooze is a huge issue.
