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

I guess you all juat want to e here to complain amongst yourselves and provide no value to Sonos in making future updates.

This is an open and free community for all users, whether they are happy, sad moaning, groaning, complaining or singing from the rooftops. We are not here to be of value to Sonos or anyone else. You need to lighten up a little — and stop bashing others for having an opinion that doesn’t align with yours.

I have been posting to try and show the realty of the change from 4.3, which was also my favourite Chris, to 5.0, which is not the version that is being portrayed on here by quite a few as there were significant early changes made to the software after reaction from the public.

Comments such as the following made me post the reality of the situation after the release otherwise I would have remained quiet:

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.

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).

I have given feedback. The latest design just makes no sense to me, or anyone else I know that has tried to use it. What would you like for me to do, submit wireframes to fix it? What I am saying is that it is fundamentally bad and I don't have any suggestions on how to fix that.

I've said, just roll back to the prior version until this version can be redesigned to be more intuitive. Or give each person the option to roll back or keep the new. That's constructive feedback. Saying that I just have to live with what was given me is not.

I was the one being bashed actually for providing facts insight and suggestions vs just spewing hate. But I see now that’s what you all enjoy and want. You all will be gone in next few weeks and then I can go back to having sensible conversations with those who are actually here for that. You all will move on to hating on something or someone else to pass your time.

I’m not here for next time - you guys can just complain amongs yourself if that provides you some comfort. I will move In to helping others here on the forum that actually appreciate my help. And I will enjoy my 8.x when it arrives to fix the current navigation issues (which I have given Sonos my constructive feedback on what I would like to see - and which doesn’t seem to be effecting my life as much as it does those here).

Chris I gave this advice to John B weeks ago. Don’t kill yourself beating a dead horse. I read mainly for entertainment now. Will throw in a comment here or there but I have decided to leave the drama queens behind. I say my piece to Sonos in the available fora and I have done my part.

Seriously — you really do need to lighten up.

Spewing hate?? If you weren’t such a long time poster I would think you weren’t for real.

This is an app. Some people like it, some people hate it. That isn’t the same thing as spewing hate. Your language is not proportionate or appropriate.
