    The Sonos iOS app for 8.2 is now available in all app stores for devices. You should be all set to update now. Sorry for the delay everyone.

    I'm assuming you've got some sort of Apple iOS device. It's been stated in other places in this forum that there's an update waiting to be approved by Apple in the app store. Probably best to wait an hour or two, and try then.

    Similar problem here. My app says I need to Update to be able to add a play 5 speaker. App store says all is up to date . check on the controller for updates reveals a message stating that an update is available but not available in my app store. Similar happens when I try from Iphonex, iPad or macbook.

    As stated in other threads, the Apple App Store is a little late in posting the new version of the app. Give it a while and try again.

    My recommendation is take a break, grab some food and a beer. Come back later.

    Question is how much later. This feels like more than a coincidence as I've just tried to add a play 5 to my system and now encounter the update issue. No such issue over last 8 months.

    First SONOS product I've ever bought, bring it home, won't work on iOS.

    The last update (8.1.1) landed on my iOS devices on 2nd November. Not 19 hours ago.

    So after lots of research I am convinced the Sonos system is for me, spend £400 on two new Play Ones and cannot even get the app to work as it keeps saying it needs updating even though it doesn’t. So disillusioned wish I had gone for Bose now, feel like returning the lot, very unhappy Sonos!

    Same problem here. Come home after holidays. All is updated according to apple store, still I can´t even open the old app version in order to control the system. Not very amused about it. So what is the fix for it?
