Alright, July 22 app update just dropped.

I took the risk of updating so you don’t have to 🙃🤣 So far so good, it opened on first try. Will update.

Is it working for you?

Samsung Android users are you back to a working app?

iOS release notes

Added setup, configuration, and search for local Music Library
Improved account settings for Sonos Pro subscribers
Added line-in autoplay and compression settings
Improved accessibility in Settings
Improved notification for player firmware updates
Improved Sub audio settings with Amp

ETA THE GOOD :

local library search is working
Configuration and set up for local libraries is there but I’m not testing it as it’s working for me and I don’t want to tempt fate
Line in auto play seems to be working.
Sub audio has phase control and crossover frequency. I haven’t tested if they actually do anything but hopefully working as expected.

***Loading way quicker on my network, ~2.5 seconds after a force close for Recently played, sonos favourites etc to populate. (10 sonos devices).

Last used room controls at the bottom are available right away, ie can stop whats playing in a hurry if required. I think this is a good change.

Release notes not updated yet but will be posted here whenever they get around to it.

This update seems like a definite step in the right direction

It pretty much “finds” my system instantly, feels more responsive and volume changes happen in real time so no more “press wait press”.

Still a lot missing but it feels like they might have got the base code right at last.

I found that I had to go to the Apple App store to get the updated one. Trying to update in the app just kept telling me sytem was up to date. 🤔

The system update function within the app is for updating your speakers’ firmware, not for updating the app itself.

Updating in the app checks for firmware updates for your speakers. There wasn’t a firmware update. Apple App Store has the update for the app.

Yes that’s all very well but when I searched Sonos in the App Store it showed me the “Open” button rather than “Get”. Clicking that it opened the app with the old app version. I had to delete it and then got the Cloud with down arrow and clicking that it downloaded the latest version. Some mis-communication between app versions going in there.

oddly after I got the right app on my iPad as above the app on my iPhone then updated on its own.

Last night I just assumed this was global servers populating taking time but it was still like that this morning.

anyway all sorted to new app version.

Arc + Sub (Gen 1) + 2 x Play 1/ Stereo Play 3s/ Era 100 Stereo in Kitchen, One Stereo in Bedroom, Play 1 stereo pair in Study, Play 1in Bathroom, Sonos Move 2

Anyone notice excessive background battery drain?

I didn’t really notice faster drain as I charged through the day but Sonos used 36% in the background most of any app by far.

Didn’t notice but Sonos is at 30% of my battery usage, second only to Safari on 35% - but I actually specifically use Safari, whereas once I have selected a track I don’t ‘use’ Sonos, and nor should Sonos use itself as it is only the controller (the speakers call the next tracks from the streaming service)...

Yeah for me I had 18 min on screen with Sonos app. 36% is a lot of background usage.

Mine is at 8% for Sonos on Android so not in the same ballpark as the 2 of you.

My battery setting for the Sonos App is “optimised”. I did not know this setting existed so it must have been set by Sonos or is a default for my Sony. Alternative settings for this are restricted and unrestricted.

Seems to be an iOS issue. A rare win for Android users with the Sonos app. 🤣

8 minutes of Sonos screen time had led to 30% battery usage (iOS).

It has over 10x more background usage than Safari (at 20h44 vs 1h59), and more than 20x background usage than any other app!

They give with one hand and use up your battery with the other...
