My family HATES the app update. It’s design is not user friendly at all! Just doesn’t make me want to go out and add to my system!

      John B. Absolutely 8 has felt beta from the beginning. I think the development team had to much pressure to get feature releases out before holidays and didn’t much have time for tweaking.

      I think they still have some features on the table like audible but should be in tweaking stages too.

      And a lot of big stuff for 2018 like airplay2 and google home. Certainly why that can’t look back.

      User - Sonos doesn’t normally do a lot of public betas. Nice of you to admit your haven’t been signed up for beta testing yet come on here and give false information that there is no beta testing. A bit irresponsible.
      If there actually is beta testing going, I for sure haven't seen it, and that's a fact, not a falsehood.

      And given the 8.x train wreck, I think we can all agree that a public beta is preferable over releasing a half backed app, after some limited beta. Because clearly that didn't work.

        I’m fairly sure betas are always going on.

        You aren't signed up for beta, there are no public betas at this time, private betas are well known to be carefully protected by an NDA, and you have not seen any beta testing goin on. None of these facts points to an assumption there is no beta testing occurring right now.

        So it's fair to say, that I - and quite some others - haven't seen one, isn't it? But hey, let's just nitpick every single post on this board that isn't a sonos love letter, just so we can't pretend the actual critique is invalid.

          As I stated, you not seeing any is no evidence there are none going on. Nor is Sonos reps lack of acknowledging any current betas, for if they exist they are protected by NDA. Sorry if you think your facts are completely relevant and mine are mere nitpicking. I can see how having your assumptions and accusations torn apart by facts would be annoying. However, I'm afraid the only way to keep this from happening is to stop assuming things or making accusations which are not supported by the facts.
