Can I use an older version of Sonos App

This new app is a complete disaster. Sonos had become part of my music experience; I’ve been using it for almost 10 years, and I’ve figured ways to move between music services, manage playlists, explore artists, queue up songs. This new update has removed at least 10 feature that I’ve noticed in the last week, and I imagine it will take forever to fix.

Can I go back to the old app? I feel silly threatening to stop using Sonos, but this will seriously put me in Bluetooth mode, which is the first step.

I mean it’s so bad. Why was this a good idea?

Thank you Rhonny, i’ll keep an eye out for the app update.

It’s live. Give it a whirl.

This is unforgivingly horrible. I have tried to be patient hoping that Sonos would come out with a solution. I spent thousands of dollars on a complex sound system that is not working now. Does anyone know why Sonos is not responding?

Even with the patches and fixes, the app is TERRIBLE.

Example 1:

By voice, I tell Alexa (via Sonos speaker) to play "x". It plays. As I check the app to add another speaker, the app shows Nothing is Playing.

This happens again and again and again.

Example 2

I ask Alexa via Sonos speaker to play my playlist. (Specifically I have Amazon music with named playlists). A song plays, but not my playlist. Or, a few songs play, then music stops. Or, a few songs play, then start repeating.

The app is terrible and I play less music than I used to because it's disappointing and frustrating. I wish I could have the previous app.
