The new app is terrible to use and makes what was a simple easy to use system over complicated, is there a way of using the previous App?

    JGatie also says that support for the issues with the new app is dwindling, yet nearly 3 months on, people are still signing up to voice their disapproval. Look at the reviews on the iOS App store from Oct onwards and you will see that JGatie is in a minority.

    I don't believe he asked for an update on jgaite. I will stick with my post informing what is going on.

    Chris, I wasn't responding to you. But the forum cartel have stated that negative support for the latest release is dwindling when it clearly is not as people are signing up to show support so I am keeping the vibe alive.

    I do think it will dwindle once tweaks are made based on feedback.. I can’t claim others opinions. I personally give it a few more weeks.

    Just got back home to the new app and I'm still scratching my head. It's different on every one of four devices. On my Samsung tablet, there's no bottom bar (My Sonos, Browse, Rooms, etc.) so that device is useless to me. If I don't start playing music from another device, I can't do a thing with that device.

    I logged in for the first time just because this is so incredibly frustrating. Any idea when this will be fixed or where I should direct feedback?

    Inhave to say I haven’t tried on my iPad to see tablet differences. No bar?. Have to check that out. I would expect tweaks coming next few weeks or so. Please leave any suggestions you have (no bringing back old version suggestion won’t work).
