What have you done to the interface This is a retrograde step, plus why do the icons have to be so large.
Extremely disappointing and irritating. Please sort out something better !

    All I saw in the update notification was added support for Amazon Alexa. There was no mention of an "updated" interface. Either allow us the option for a dark interface or tell us how to revert to the previous interface.

        I try to roll with the changes, but I can tell you that this new UI design is not intuitive or friendly. Things take me much longer to figure out. BTW, I do this stuff for a living, so I think I am good point of reference for feedback.

              Agreed. I would not have updated, even if I had the choice, to this version if I had known how ugly the skin was going to be. I pay way too much money for this platform to have basic, useful functions torn out of the controller app.

                Don’t expect an answer to that John because zero functionality has been removed. This is a bit bewildering to me.

                Sonos fanboys splitting hairs as usual...

                The function to skip tracks and change volume has been removed in portrait mode on the iPad when not in the zone player screen (I.e. when the black bar is active).
