Is there any way to downgrade the Sonos app?

I've read in this forum that everyone appears to be having major problems with the current version of the app. Unfortunately, I have the same issues; lost playlists, lost access to radio stations (doesn't like Radioplayer, My Tuner etc) . I've tried contacting them but the Chatbot  just takes you round in circles. Is there an email address to try? Or anyway to downgrade the app?

Thanks

    If you're on android you can get the previous version of the app here

     

    https://en.softonic.com/download/sonos/android/post-download/v/16.1

     

    Be sure to disable auto updates in play store for the sonos app.

    I have uninstalled the new version 80. app and downloaded the old version 16.1 from the link above.

    Works just fine now

    Make sure you switch off the auto update in the app and in Google Playstore otherwise it will update back to version 80 and you'll be back to square one!

    Regards...

    I switched off auto update in Google Play Store, but the app won't let me do anything without upgrading. How do I switch off auto update in the app please?

    Go into Settings, System, System Settings, System Updates and there should be an option to switch off auto updates. Make sure auto updates is still off in Playstore.

    Is there a way to downgrade the app on IOS?

    I saw this posted on another thread…

    I have not tired it as I realized there are features that they disabled even in the older app - anything to do with setup is grayed out.  Since only my iPhone got updated and I have the desktop app and my iPad and wife’s phone have the older app, I’m leaving it alone in case I need some “setup” feature.  What a dog’s breakfast Sonos have served up to us.  I have run out of expletives to describe them. 😡
