Since the new app update this month, the Pandora play modes (e.g. Deep Cuts, Discovery, etc) is not visible.  Anyone know how to set that in Sonos, or did they eliminate it???

I just updated the app and immediately realized the same thing. Is this something that is going to get addressed?

My fix was to go to apkmirror and download the March version of the app, then turn off auto update.

Grumble! 

Just returned home after 3 week trip and no modes!!!

And crickets about the change.

That has been my fix as well, but appears play modes are not supported in the March version now too.  Have you noticed this?

I’ve read all the notices, posts and press about the new app debacle. Looks like Pandora Modes is currently a casualty of the new app. Per your CEOs messages, being transparent about the things lost in the new app, and a roadmap on when things are expected to be fixed, is a priority.
 

SO, when will I be able to select Pandora Mode within a station, or at least have the Mode set on their app persist within Sonos (on the same account)?

I too cannot find Pandora Station modes on the new (2024) Sonos iPad app. Used to be able to access from Now Playing screen by tapping ellipses (three dots). Not there anymore. Any update from Sonos app team?

No update received on when it will be fixed. I engaged Sonos Support on the day of the app release and they, and the managers the agent escalated to, clearly didn’t know about the feature loss.  The agent said they were on it, but I’ve not heard or read anything further.

I too would like an update from Sonos, even if bad news.

I'm currently using the sonos.acr2_16.1 APK and not having any issues with Pandora modes.

SONOS destroyed a perfectly functional, intuitive to navigate app . . . seeming in order to push SONOS product ads at us more obnoxiously.

Seriously, you’re gonna advertise new products to me right after removing functionality from the products I already paid for? No, I don’t want the freakin’ headphones or whatever.
