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

Jgatie. I think Andrew is trying to calm down the reteric. Let’s all take a step back and see if it can continue. Andrew. What do you think would improve the new app the most?

I didn’t click the link.

As above jgatie I had only the one point to make. You said you agree with it, so let us both move on, ok.

On that note, it is way past my bedtime, so wishing you all a goodnight (yes, including you Jgatie) from the U.K.

Sorry, but I don't buy it. He is what he is.

Nice dodge. As I said, selective outrage at its finest. So here's the quote andrew:

I am so tired of the update that does not work, the music I cannot listen to. The instructions that NASA must have written, (no wait, if they wrote it might actually work). I've built children's toys that were easier than this. WHY, Sonos, WHY? Do you truly not want me to enjoy you? I would ask for my money back if I thought you could handle it. You make me feel as though I am in an abusive relationship. "Just update me, it will all work out! I promise!" But like every dysfunctional relationship, it all comes around in one big circle of suck that has no end, and always results in you being the hurt party, and me, the victim, never seeing justice. I am very close to breaking these chains! Is there a shelter for people like me? Where we can all sit around and feel safe from Sonos who makes us feel stupid? How many times will I update you? (No, really, I want to know, 'cause I ain't got the data for that.) When we first got together, man, life was GOOD! But you keep taking advantage of my gentle soul, and I have nothing left to give. This makes me sad.


Awaiting your comment (or excuses, or dodge). You're up (again)!

the new app just plain sucks on Apple and Android products, I still get confuse on room change and groups...don't teach us monkeys to adapt to one thing and then go change it on us and expect better results. If it ain't broke then don't try to.....the computer version is still good and sometimes I'll just use that instead of my phone...the "Browse" wording seems confusing, just label it "Music". Definitely missing the left side tool bar with everything available at your finger tips...at least keep the majority of the population happy and have the older version available so the people can choose please!

Now that is an anti-8.0 post I can agree with!

Couldn't agree more - new app sucks, very counter-intuitive and just basically very poorly designed. Have been trying to use it for months now - still sucks. Never thought that about any of the prior versions or had any issues learning the prior versions. Like many comments here, really frustrated and confused why Sonos would release and push down such a piece of garbage - like going from a mac to a dos system. Please scrap this version and release a more intuitive user-friendly version ASAP.

I tried to stream an MP3 to a sonos tonight. I can load custom versions of android into hacked phones but I couldnt get this thing to stream a simple mp3 to a sonos via the app. Really bad UX. Cant click to stream a bloody music file.
