Sonos have neglected to include an alarm function in the app update as of 9th May 2024. very disappointed. Also a number of music services have been affected. I am sure this is an oversight - but with no communication from Sonos or announcement, it does not build confidence. Also - to cut off older systems and speakers is terribly bad form. Hopefully the Sonos event on the 14th will have everything resolved? Can we get some reassurance from Sonos customer service please?

If you only have iPads and iPhones, no alarms at all. So dumb. I’m really irritated. These speakers cost hundreds of dollars each, many of us have several of them, and Sonos just yanked a bunch of basic stuff.

There’s an iOS App in the Apple Store called ‘Soro’ (it’s an iOS ‘shortcuts’ plugin for Sonos). I’m not affiliated to the App or its developer, but do use it myself and it will allow you to create, edit, delete your Sonos Alarms. You perhaps may want to explore/research that App and its features. It links into the Sonos API.

Screenshot attached, just for info.

FFS Sonos - did you not pay attention to how many people were pissed off when you shifted the Alarm menu from the home screen of the app and hid it back under System? There are only 3 things I want to do with Sonos - manage the speakers, play music and set and change ALARMS. Complete fail

I highly encourage everyone to hit them where it hurts - go and put in a 1 star app rating

Ugh. $8 to turn on an alarm I paid for already.

The App does far more than just alarms, obviously, but it’s your money and your prerogative. I’m just trying to help that’s all and provide you with some options.

I appreciate it, the “Ugh” is aimed directly at Sonos here for putting me in this situation.

The new app is entirely suboptimal compared to the old version. Please reinstate alarms, sleep timers, all the lost streaming services!

I use alarms on Sonos every day. Sonos please fix this ASAP. In the interim till alarms are reinstated on Android and iOS, don't touch the Windows and Mac apps Sonos. At least for a few weeks I can use the Windows app.
