I cannot seem to find a way to add songs to playlist in the new app. when I click on the ••• next to a song while another is playing, the only option now appears to be Replace Queue, and no ability to insert the song. what am I missing?

This is the most ridiculous update I’ve ever seen. The one reason I told people to move to SONOS was the functions you have removed. Sort this mess now! Someone needs to get fired. How can anyone at SONOS approve this update? What clown show are you running over there?

Same! Now those functions are gone. Such a FAIL.

The feature I used the most, adding songs to a queue and saving to a playlist from my local library is no longer possible. Unbelievable. Did paid streaming services pay them off to eliminate this feature? BRING IT BACK!

This was such a dumb move. HUGE failure on their part.

As a work around for now you can still add a single song via the desktop app (at least on mac, i haven’t tried windows). Hopefully they re-add this functionality later on.

From the so called “upgrade” of SONOS app (Android), I can’t add tracks to Deezer playlists anymore (only SONOS playlist is available)! Can you please restore this key feature to me!

Thanks

I was going round in circles trying to add a song to my son's playlist. Seems the update doesn't have that option. Why get rid of that? What a whole bucket of poop this app is now. Did they do any UX testing before releasing this? It's awful. Truly awful. It's not just the playlist problem either, it just isn't easy to navigate the app anymore. We've got a bunch of Sonos gear and now I want to sell it all because the app is so painful.

They said it took a lot of courage to go ahead with this upgrade. I think it took even more stupidity. Is there a way to revert back to the previous version?

Agreed. Such a bummer that some of their best functionality is gone. I’ve read that reverting can be done on an android phone. Haven’t seen anything for Apple products yet though. 

Ooh where did you read how yo revert to previous version?

This is so dumb its unbelivable, that was like the only and obvious way really benefit from bringing multiple songs and services together in sonos - massive fail 

Seriously, my thoughts exactly! It’s a total WTF moment. Really, Sonos? Does anyone know if this is on the product roadmap to be added back? Or, is there a way to revert back to the previous iOS version. Knew I never should’ve updated it 😫 Praying some tech genius out there help us all find a way back until Sonos figures it out 🤦🏻‍♀️
