Emergency! Must downgrade new app ASAP

I just upgraded to the new Sonos app, what an AWFUL, AWFUL mistake that was!

I need to get the APK for the previous version. Please somebody send me a link.

The new app does not allow quick easy control of the volume and EQ settings from the main volume slider. Everything about the new UI is just incomplete or missing. Although I could probably get over how psychologically jarring the new change is (I even lose the app icon now its color has changed), basic features are just missing.

I can’t accept the inability to quickly control the sound I hear from a system designed for playing sound. Not fit for function any more! It’s got to go, will downgrade and block future updates.

Sad to say Sonos, bitterly disappointing.

I've put 16.1 back on so we’ll see what happens and how long it lasts this time!

How do you do that?

A lot of faffing around the first time - just read further up this topic and you’ll see how it works. Once you've been through that, however, and have the last 16.1 ipa file, it’s easy enough to put in on.

The question mark remains, however, whether or not you can keep using 16.1 if your firmware has already moved to 16.2 and the jury’s still out on that.

Brand new Move arrived today. Went to downgrade to add to my Sonos 1 system. Downgrade option has been removed in latest Sonos (2) app, although they say they are going to reintroducee it - who knows when. Found a way to go back to an earlier version. Started downgrade path and it told me I need to upgrade the app!!! So now the Move is useless. Sending it back. What has happened to Sonos?

The Move 2 didn’t even exist when S1 was split off, what makes you think you would be able to add it to an S1 app that can no longer be updated with new hardware?

By "earlier version” did you mean the orange version of the app (V16.1 of the S2 Controller)? If that’s what you meant, try deleting the app and resintalling the IPA. If that’s not what you meant, you’re in the wrong thread.

...and today it’s forced me to update the app 😡. If they’d added searching my music library yesterday I probably wouldn't have minded as much. So it’s back to Sonophone again!
