Has anyone figured out how to install the old ios s2 app?

it definitely works but the problem is you can’t add devices to this app, it’s greyed out of course.  And for me, i hard reset all my devices :(

We install HiFi systems and multi-room control as well as business installs where businesses use audio servers with their choice of music on. The new App gives no option to setup a music server anymore. Further, those who had it  set before find that it will only play music from their servers that are available on the streaming service they may use. So if they have albums that are not available on the streaming service, they can’t play the music, even though they own it and have it on their audio server. I have never seen a company so blatantly focused on what it wants over the needs of the very customers it is selling to. Their lack of appreciation for their paying customers is staggering.

For most people without extensive technical knowledge, putting the old App back on their Phones/Tablets is near impossible. However, since we’ve had to find a solution very quickly for the barrage of calls we had from upset customers, we’ve downloaded them an App called SonoPad. This is totally free and works in a very easy to understand manner and has most of the features people enjoy, including replay from audio servers. It is also considerably faster than the new Sonos. I  can’t say whether it will suit everyone, but if this helps some of you out of a hole and allows you to keep using the system you paid for, then that’s a good thing.

For the person who asked if Sonos reads or takes action on any of this, the answer is almost certainly no, because if they had any interest in the opinion of their uses, then this would not have been an issue in the first place. Their order of importance appears to be, profits, shareholders……………. oh, customers.

From our point of view, we believe it’s time to start looking at the many options out there other than Sonos, since their respect for profits far outweighs their respect for their uses.

Yes, it would be a “solution”. But having the IOS/OSX users restoring their backup (of the whole system and if/when available) is a ridiculous option. All Sonos has to do is make the previous “MAIN” version (Gold colored app) available in the Appstore. Dare to admit your fault and go back to the drawing board Sonos instead of ignoring us all.

I can’t really look past this issue. The new app has nuked functionality of the 12+ speakers I own. We need to demand a rollback, or options, now.

Iv found a way. S2 now installed on my phone and iv turned off auto update. See if it lasts. apkmirror.com.apk. If your able to get an email address over to me ill try send you the file…

Hi Steve, are you talking Android or IOS? As the apkmirror site only has Android as far as I can see.

Thanks for your answer.

It would appear that by the lack of responses to thousands of upset users that Sonos doesn't give a damn. They release an unfinished app, scrap a fully functioning one and then hide! 

Sono you are a terrible company. My mental health relys upon playing music to help me, but now I struggle with that. The lack of functions are not allowing me to set up my surround system and the rear speakers drown out the centre front.

I tried rolling back the app but could not get it to control my system and it constantly brought up red fots with update instructions. App kept telling me the version I was using no longer functions. I feel like Sonos are bullying me i to using a substandard app and they don't care

That’s a great offer. Sadly, Apple based people won’t be able to use this solution, but very helpful for those on other formats.

It's an absolute joke. FIX IT SONOS. Roll back until it's fixed. How the hell Sonos are going to move on from this god only knows.  🙄
