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?

La nuova versione dell app fa schifo, funziona tutto peggio sia con Android che con iOS. Non si trovano più le playlist, , e’ tutto più difficile se non risolvete in tempi brevi vendo il sistema

The new version of the app sucks, everything works worse with both Android and iOS. I can no longer find the playlists, everything will be more difficult if you don't solve it quickly, I'll sell the system

Like so many, really frustrated with new app. What have you done Sonos? I can now only playback or shuffle the first 100 songs of my playlists. Been in help chat room and basically been told it's always been like that??? Well it wasn't last week !

Before the app update, while searching for an artist, I was able to pick top tracks, hit play and the list would be play.   This function is gone.  Please bring it back.

Change tone controls is now buried in settings.  It’s important to be able to change it quickly.

Hi - 

 

WIth the new iPhone app, I can only find “Sonos Favorites”, and not the “Sonos Playlists” that were available in the old iPhone app, or are still available on the desktop MacOS app. How can I access them on the new iPhone app?

 

Thanks.

I usually give companies the benefit of the doubt with significant changes to the software base, but playing and editing playlists is such a core feature that I cannot believe it was not implemented in the first release of the new UI. 

Can you imagine Google Maps rolling out a redesign without directions? Me neither. 

Oh, and it’s slow as molasses as well. Can you please roll back the update while you fix basic functionality? I’d like to enjoy listening to my music. Thanks.

Is anyone from SONOS support reading these messages? I'm surprised to see no feedback! I'd like to read a commitment to restore the availability of the old application or to quickly update to this "new" version.

From SONOS S1 to S2, I had to deal with an unstable wifi connection (SONOS support said it was due to my network, but bandwidth has increased thanks to fiber!) - now it's a regression in terms of functionality. I wonder what's next!

Wow Sonos. How to completely wreck your reputation and totally pee off your users. What is going on with this update? So many floors. So many features missing. What were you thinking? It’s pants. Give the same features we used to have. Update your update!

They are swamped with feedback.  I hope it’s all fixed soon because I’d hate to sell everything

I have to agree with all comments here, this update is total crap, I am unable to use my pretty expensive Sonos system the way I always have. At least give us the option to roll back to the previous app version, and do yourselves a favor and fix this stupid update so that it has complete functionality again. I was actually thinking about buying additional speakers in the near future for some extra rooms in my house, but if this doesn’t get fixed real fast I’m replacing the whole thing with another system…

Update: I luckily found instructions (on https://techissuestoday.com) on how to roll back to the previous version of the S2 app, disabled the auto update and for now it’s working again as it did before. I’m not updating on phones of desktop again before they get this fixed in a descent way...

What the bloody @#$ has Sonos done to their app?!  It was so easy to navigate, make playlists, and play them and now all that is gone?  Makes no sense.  This update is the WORST! I never would have started using Sonos if this was the original app. 

 

After reading the techissuestoday post mentioned above, it doesn’t look like Sonos plans to bring back the playlist functionality that we used to have in the previous version (which I quickly reinstalled).  Time to find a replacement.
