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

What is your point ? I hate the app, and I preferred much of what came before. That is all I said — that is my opinion, it wasn’t exaggerated. Unless you know my opinion better than I do.

I think the point is very clear. You criticize people for overblown inflated language while you yourself state it is hard for you not "to weep" over a First World luxury multi-room music system. Unless you are actually finding it hard to hold back your tears, andrew? If that is the case, I suggest some help may be in order.

Having spent many thousands of pounds pounds on Sonos kit to see the software get worse over time, a part of me does weep for what has been lost. You trot out the same phrases over and over. First world luxury music system —- so what?? Are you now casting judgement on my moral values? I’ll ask you again Jgatie, do you claim to know my opinions better than I do? Are are my opinions less valid because they don’t align with yours ?

Lol. No judgement andrew, just making an observance. If you notice, I was not the one casting aspersions on others for their flowery rhetoric, you were. I simply brought those statements to light in contrast to your recent post.

Nice deflection, though.

For the New Year I hope Sonos finds a better balance in trying to develop a first class software experience for existing and would be customers.

Jgatie, you appear to post seemingly dozens of times a day. These, for the the most part, are to offer up your opinions. You also seem preoccupied with those threads whose headers clearly indicate the opinions within will differ yours.

I have no interest in the overall low level of internet noise you create around here. However you seem unable to let a single post of mine go without comment.

You can post all day, everyday if you want. But there is something odd about someone who feels his
Voice must be heard above all others.

Why don’t you start a thread about how much you like v8 and I promise you I won’t bother you in there.

Care for me to link to my first posts on 8.0 and the reactions I got from others, including you? Physician, heal thyself.

And the vast majority of my posts are helping people. You would see that if you ever ventured out of these complaint threads.

....... The easy sell of Sonos products in the past was showing a friend how easy the app (and the hardware) was to use. Now I'm confused. Please Sonos take this to heart and work on an update that will dramatically change/improve the UI.

May I suggest you look at the SonoPad and SonoPhone apps on the Apple AppStore. Very intuitive and easy to use. On YouTube you can find some vids how it looks like. I didn’t like the version 8.x while in Beta, but Sonos seems not to listen to their customer base. Luckily I could stopped Sonos to update my speakers and app (to block some things on my router) and continue using version 7.4. I also use the user friendly SonoPad app. It even works on a old IPad 1 which is in my bathroom 🙂

+1 from my side. Happy to keep things separate.
