Is there any way to revert back to the last app before the recent update? This latest update is just plain stupid.

All the years of owning Sonos. So you were fine the last time they changed the application to the one we just had - which everyone threw a fit about several years ago? Such drama.

So the poor man posts 4 messages to your 12000 and he is accused of causing a drama. Not a very friendly welcome, is it ?

My first Sonos the controller was that big thing with the spin wheel on it. Then I bought the dedicated touch controller. Then when that stopped working I went to the apps. So yeah, I've seen it all.

I haven't been thrilled with every update, but no, I didn't feel the need to post to the forums about it. I've never, until now, found any Sonos interface to be unusable or unacceptable.

Call it drama if you want.

Much for a welcome. Someone coming Her ewithba foul mouth and nothing but say how everything sucks and such a fail and provide no useful comments or information doesn’t make for a real welcome member of the community.

Here is the proof so that those ‘still’ peddaling that that 5.0 was such an awesome release and nothing has changed up to 7.4!!!

Sonos had to make changes due to public backlash. Here is the evidence for the change to 5.3, for those that don’t eat, sleep and breath Sonos all their life and just try and enjoy the products that we all spent a lot of our hard earned cash on:

Nice John but there were not many interface changes at all. There were a lot applied to feature changes - and actually many like queue changes were far for the worse thank you. For me the 5.0 was better than the horrible 7.4. Actually get facts before calling BS to those of us who have been here discussing during that entire period. I see why you get on jgatie dark side. You like to make personal attacks.

Wrong Chris. Your memory fails you. The interface on the tablet changed as the phone and tablet app for 5.0 were nearly identical. That is a fact.

Backpedaling. Do you listen to me at all. 5.0 I was never a fan of. Where did I say it was good. It is better then 7.4 because from 6.0 on messed up how you click to add to queue. I have said multiple times I prefer the 4.0 interface.

You cause conflict and belittle me for no reason. I am consistent in everything I have said about the controller past and current. You feel you need to criticize me to prove some unknown point that has nothing to do with providing input as to how to improve on the 8.0 design. I have not personally attacked you in any manner I know of but you feel the need to try and push my buttons for unknown gain.

I’ve re-read the post and there is nothing he posted that can be construed as using a ‘foul mouth’. I think you are being very unkind.

If my child says something sucks I tell them they have a foul mouth. Maybe I have a different opinion then you.

The Christmas spirit has a very short shelf life around here.

Thereisnospoon, can I take the opportunity of welcoming you to these forums and apologise for any unfriendly reception you may have had.

You will find that posting comments that are in any way negative of Sonos the company, the hardware or the software tends to get the backs up of several forum members around these parts. Don’t let them put you off — your voice is as valid as any others.

Those of you that just want to compliance and give no feedback on how to improve are destined to just be unhappy. I guess you all juat want to e here to complain amongst yourselves and provide no value to Sonos in making future updates. Enjoy yourselves. I chose to continue to express what I would like to see in next and future controllers as to hopefully have my voice heard vs just being a part of the complainer crowd (which don’t seem to get through their heads that version 7 or anything like it will never return).
