Android Widget

Where is the promised Android widget?

I am fed up of being told it's coming, it's been over a year, it's ridiculous to have to open the app up just to skip a track or reduce the volume etc.

I want my Widget back!

Who at Sonos told you “it is coming”? Doesn’t sound like them to pre-announce features.

    It's so frustrating. Well over a year since they made the blunder and android widgets disappeared. They made the system so much more intuitive and a pleasure to use. It's now a clunky mess to adjust multiple rooms. Give us the android widgets back!!!

    Pre-announce? They existed and were used widely and then Sonos overnight removed them and nerfed the user experience for Android users. Really poor on their behalf that all this time later they haven't brought them back.

    Regardless of how/when it was removed, ​@controlav’s question is still valid.  Who told the OP that “it’s coming” when Sonos very rarely pre-announce something is coming?

    I never said his question was invalid. I was merely pointing out the use of the term pre-announce would infer it was a new feature. Someone new to Sonos may not be as well informed as yourself or spend as much time on the forum as to be as informed as you.

    Let’s not argue semantics.  His question was valid, that we agree on.
