Provocative question. Currently still running the 16.1 app on Android. Have a range of products from S1s through to Arc + pair Era300s. System is mainly used for listening to music from NAS and surround sound for TV/movie watching. Some functionality is now greyed out in the 16.1 app, other than that I'm happy with the old app.

Is the new app now safe to upgrade to? What would Sonos representatives present on this forum recommend? Is your new app now safe to use? Is it a better experience versus the old app?

As an objective measure for when the Sonos executive team should start to receive bonuses again I'd suggest an 90%+ yes response rate to these questions would be a good yardstick.

While many users like myself are mostly unaffected with the upgrade, there are some who have major issues because of how Sonos has changed the way it now finds your local library…. but there are still some missing functionality that are present.

While many may disagree, I like the new app and I am eagerly waiting for full functionality to return. It works for me and does what I need it to do, but I also use my Mac app for some things like playlists and queues.

What I did when the new app was released was I updated a single device for testing in case I had any issues. Now I have updated all my devices. The minor inconveniences I can deal with on my Mac.

What do you mean ‘nearly ready’?

Patrick was using this since Christmas and it was great…
