Sonos web app volume

SUGGESTION:

I just found an inconsistency between the mobile app and the web app that possibly needs attention, to be aligned. 

The new iOS app is great in that if you tap the volume slider, you get a + and - to allow you to increase and decrease the volume. 

BUT if you click the volume slider on the web app, it immediately jumps to where you clicked! I just clicked the slider, expecting to see a + and - like i get on my phone, but instead instantly turned the speaker up from 2 to 51 (which can’t be good for the speaker), and gave myself and my family a fright until I could turn it down again…!

If improvements are being implemented on the iOS app, can that intuitiveness be carried over to the web app for consistency and ease of UX?

    Since the PC and Mac apps are in frozen mode, only getting the most relevant (security) updates, I would not expect them to get this kind of UI updates. But Sonos has surprised me before.

    That would be a nice improvement to the web app, both in the Room tile and the Now Playing bar.

      I’m referring to the web app, not the desktop apps. :)

        Sounds like a good idea to me. Keep things consistent. I haven’t seen any changes in the web app recently.

          Hi ​@Rhonny 

          It sounds like a good idea to me, though the current behaviour may be intentional due to the increased accuracy of using a mouse as opposed to stabbing with a finger - I don’t know.

          Thank you - I've marked this thread as a feature request and it will be seen by the relevant teams for consideration. Keep the ideas coming!
