Please go back to the last app, the update sucks SO bad!

Merry Christmas all!!! Christmas tunes are streaming and sounding great on my Play 1 and 2nd Gen Play 5 grouped on the main level. You guys need to lighten up. At the heart of hearts we are just passionate about our music and Sonos.

Its mind boggling how terrible the update is. Complete disaster. I literally just put all my stand alone speakers on craigslist. I have 2 amps that i use for non sonos speakers on my deck which ill keep until i find a decent replacement option

Merry christmas too....hope that lightening up extends to not mocking anyone who doesn’t like the current version...

Hi everyone, we appreciate the feedback all around. Please refrain from insulting or attacking other users, even if you disagree with their sentiments. Everyone should feel welcome to share here.

The team is listening and building on the foundation of the new app. You'll see some changes coming soon. They're looking into the brightness of the app and the team is working on ways to balance the colors. They're also looking into ways to improve the general flow of the app, and streamline navigation.

Thanks for sharing your feedback and please let us know what you think as the app develops.

I'm in the camp that sees the current app as being utter garbage and am rather dismayed at the current turn of events. Reading the comments it seems that Sonos is keen to pursue the streaming market and compete with the leading players there and the app changes reflect this desire.
Many of us (i.e. Sonos users who bought in several years ago) have absolutely no desire for the app to chase these trends and just want the app to stay as it was, with minor updates to allow for any hardware/functional improvements.
The more I read the more it seems that these two desires are mutually incompatible. If Sonos are unwilling to have two apps for the product (a legacy app and a new generation app) then they ought to provide a sufficiently open and public API to allow third party vendors to develop independent paid-for apps that give the functionality they will not provide.

There are apps like Sonospad and I would assume with new api depvelopers are free to use as they choose.

The new app is terrible, I mimss the old app, I cant control the rooms as easily and I feel like my access to spotify and pandora has become antiquated. This needs to be corrected ASAP!

How has Spotify and pandora access become antiquated making the controller ifentical to the newest spotify app. I’m not a fan of current release but antiquated it is not.

I cant access my Daily playlists or radio stations without a lot of moving around. It was much easier with the old version
