New app - alarm function seems to be back

I updated the crAPP earlier this morning (Android).  No meaningful release notes in the Play Store. 

Turns out it did restore the alarms section but also required an update of my whole system (goodness knows why).

After restarting the crAPP once or twice I eventually had my alarm functionality back.  I could not see any other changes.

This is positive, although I have lost all and total faith in the SONOS developers and management and fully expect this new update to have broken something else.

I don’t know if the iOS crAPP has been updated the same?

    Have alarms but they don't work. I suspect it is because there is no where in app to set current date and time. Thoughts?

    Same here. Alarms all set but not triggered at all. What ever happened to the good and reliable app we used to love. If it ain’t broken don’t fix it. So much for sonos “R&D”.

    I have deleted the app and downloaded again today up to date version 80.04.04. I’ve checked my firmware is up to date and tried resetting the app multiple times.

     

    I can’t even seem to set the alarms on the mobile app but it works fine on when setting from my laptop. Is Sonos aware of the ongoing issues?

    Alarms are now visible for me via the app (on iOS) and work correctly.  App version 80.04.04

    I wasn’t that impressed when the app first came out - it was obviously released prematurely - but now they’ve fixed some issues, I quite like it. The UI is better and it’s much faster to connect than the old one.

    My alarms will only play the Sonos chime even when setting radio, soundcloud or Spotify. Is this going to be fixed? Last raised in 2021.

     

    Tried updating apps, logging out of Spotify, resetting speakers and nothing works. I believe it’s a Sonos issue has it all worked smoothly until the updates in 2021. In 2015-2021, had my alarms set to multiply playlists and radio and all worked perfectly. Now nothing works.

    Disappointed. We originally bought Sonos speakers to sync with other music platforms.
     

    On another note, we now have to use two apps due to Sonos making the old speakers only work with sonos 1 app. I’m sure they could have updated the new Sonos app to work on all speakers and other wired speakers.
     

    Nothing is straight forward with Sonos. It seems right now they are not investing in the tech side of things and just launching new speakers which don’t work because of the apps!

      Thank you! @Ken_Griffiths 

      So that ‘Manage’ word near the top is actually a button!? I was wondering where all the old settings were.

      Christ, we all knew the new UI is so bad it makes you want to rip out your own eyeballs and stamp on them, but this takes it to a whole new level.
