I know it might be impossible but: Any idea how a roll back might work for iPhones?

I spend over an hour on the phone with tech support and was actually told the following.

Tech - You are having wifi issues.

Me - How come I didn't have any issues with the old app?

Tech - The old app was not advanced enough to find the issues and the new app is. 

Me- Say what

I have 3 sonos systems and I can't get them to work on the new Sonos app.  I got one going after a lot of work and discovered that the new app is awful.  The last one just won't connect.

Evidently SONOS can’t smell their own *.

According to the sales rep, Sonos is doubling down on their stupidity insisting that they will not return to the previous version.  
 

I am a dealer. I am cancelling a $6,000, 6 zone Sonos/Integra system today because I have a reputation that Sonos does not respect. 
 

My anger is burning a hole under my feet.

I did find that the PC app seems to be as before, and so the work around was to install that, find my system, update all that needed updating, and then the New Sonos app found my speakers.

I tried calling Sonos earlier but 50 minutes wait was too long.

New customer here.  I bought one Sonos device and cannot believe how horrific my experience has been so far.  From running back and forth to the router to get my wireless speaker to connect by ethernet cable to the app.  Then, unable to add any local music folder.  Backing out of any future relationship with Sonos….

It’s a bit involved but can be done.  Read this thread all the way to the end for detailed instructions.

Basically, you use an old version of itunes and another software package  to “trick” itunes into downloading the older version of the sonos app.  So in some ways it is llke a time machine.😀

I agree so much. The new version has certainly not been developed by someone using the app! I want the old app… please!

Bring back the old one!
