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

We know it’s bad, they have not provided guidance, and I can expect a few months before it’s back to ‘before the regression’ of features. 
 

I just want to know how to install the old app. Need to move on with my life. No drama. My mistake for falling for their hype. 
 

thanks!

    You can’t, unless they restore the old version in the App Store.

    It was foolish for them to submit this mess as an update to the S2 app, instead of as a new app.

    I finally got the old Sonos app installed jennydeione . I think the solution was to not use imazing or AppManager and just use Charles and iTunes.

    However…
     

    only the settings tab and the annoying unsolicited adverts (now deleted) on the app appear to work. The other tabs are all greyed out. There is a banner saying an app update is required. Maybe the only solution is to factory reset all 9 sonos devices that I have. I do not understand why Sonos want to make it so difficult to use their products. Who would want to buy them now? Sonos appears to be a scam.

    My response yesterday wasn’t published. I wrote that if your speakers got updated with the latest firmware (12 days ago) then unfortunately the 16.1 app will no longer work. if you have automatic firmware update enabled in the app’s settings then they very likely did get updated. 
     

    Don’t spend time factory resetting just for that.

    Hi @harry smith and @kpr, bad news I am afraid: the v16.3 firmware released on 16 July blocks the v16.1 app on both Android and iOS. That is what you are seeing with all the buttons grayed out and the “thou shalt update post haste” message. Super disappointing.

      OK thanks. We’re doomed.
