    The white background Is way too bright and very annoying! Please give us the option to change it back to black! I use Sonos a lot in dark environments and the new background is distractibg. I didn't personally think there was anything wrong with the previous version. I was horrified when I opened the update!?????

      To all who suggested to get Sonopad .. Thank You! I love it only 1 minute in. So much more intuitive I figured everything out in under 30 seconds and the background is not only easier on the eyes but better. Also has some great features Sonos never had. They are Fantastic with their speakers but the app programmers need to go to work for Google.

        Like many others I HATE the new white background. The latest update is definitely not an improvement. I signed up so that I can voice my opinion. Please at least give the option for a black background.

          The bright background on new SONOS app release is not an improvement.
          It's too bright in a dark room, intrusive, hard too see in a light room, and it eats my battery.
          Don't like it.

          Users speak up. If enough people ask, maybe the app developer will listen.

          Brighter is not better.
          Please give us back the dark background theme.

            Googled this to see if I was alone in my hate of the new app.. thankfully not. Sonos there are way more users who are upset than are posting here (I know several) so please fix this fast. For now checking out SonoPad and holding off on my desires to buy the new One until you guys show that you are listening.

              I know this isn’t a hotline to Sonos, but re the above, I think some indication would be nice.......

              Sonos, are you listening ????

              It should be a source of some embarrassment that some of your users are now looking to 3rd party apps to control your hardware!

                As has been stated before, Sonos reps read each and every post in these boards, so yes, they are listening.

                And they constantly provide feedback to the development teams. Your voices are indeed being heard.
