Controller constantly wants to update

I have v 8.3 Sonos Controller on my iPhone. When I go into it, it tells me there is an update. In the past, it would just then update, but now it sends me over to the App Store, where the App Store tells me that I'm up to date and was last updated 3h ago. However, every time I go into the Sonos Controller it says "Sonos update available" with an "Update Now" button that takes me back to the App Store.

How do I get beyond this? Do I have to just ignore it until the next update? Not thrilled with it now wanting to force me to the App Store yet not know if it is updated or not.

    If I delete app, won’t that delete all my play lists and setting?
    Playlists, favorites, and settings are all stored on your Sonos players, not the app. You won't lose anything, just make sure you select to connect to an existing system, not a new system. If you pick new, you'll wind up deleting everything and resetting your Sonos players.

      Delete old app and download newest. When reopening, it asks whether or not you wish to connect to existing system, which is of course, what you want. Good luck.

      Playlists etc are stored in the Speakers not on the App so there's no danger of losing them.

      Perhaps it’s me but the “update” function to enable Sonos 8.3 does not appear to work on my IPad, when opening my existing Sonos app I am prompted to “update” This directs me to the App Store where the latest Sonos app is displayed with an “open” option, when this is selected it seems to take me back to my start point having not updated. I cannot see another option such as “download” is anyone else experiencing this issue?
