S2 is getting "pushy"

Recently, the reminder that “It’s time to update” is not going away and stays on top of the screen. I get it. Sonos is becoming impatient. Fine. I will do it. But here is a sincere recommendation for the folks at Sonos:

Every month I checked if there was a new meaningful release of the app. 8 months long I have been reading the same release note on the iOS AppStore: “Performance enhancements and improved reliability.” Of course, I checked the Sonos website and know about the changes in hi-res and WiFi 5 GHz. But the AppStore is your image, your business card.

Sonos, this is so lazy. Take an example from other apps, whose release notes on AppStore are fun to read, which give you the feeling that there is a creative team behind the software, selling quality of life, not some generic software. Besides, reading these same release notes without end in sight gives me the feeling that S2 is ultra-buggy.

This is just my thought. Don't know if other customers even read the release notes. But think about it, please.

Sonos update of S1 reintroduces the possibility to click away the banner with the upgrade nudge. It's solved. Thank you Sonos team.

Just to record here for posterity that since this weeks release of an S1 update I was unable to make any changes to my S1 system until I had applied the update. No removal of music services was possible, no changes allowed to the schedule for scanning my local music library.

I would like to know how Sonos manages this?? How is it that my system functionality actually changes, without updating any software??  Last week I could make changes, this week until the S1 update was applied I was blocked.

Strange, huh?

Edit. And now of course, having updated I need to switch off the notifications for S2. Which, thankfully, I can!
