      The number of topics/issues on this forum confirms to me that there is a huge problem with this new update. I had a great thing going before, with total control of my Sonos system. Now it is a jumbled mess! Nothing works. I would like the previous version back, too.

        For Android,

        1. uninstall the horrific update

        2.  Download https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/sonos-inc/sonos-for-android/sonos-for-android-16-1-release/sonos-16-1-android-apk-download/download/?key=e881d846854b30f47a779beb111eaffdff104abc

        3.  Open the apk to install

         

        I made a freaking account just to say thank you. It works amazing again. Thank you so much. Also, F*U***K SONOS. The new update is BEYOND TRASH.

          Totally agree! I am fuming that I’ve installed it. They just seem to have over complicated everything. You can’t even play a playlist!

            I see info on getting the old app back for phones.  What about for desktop?

            App version 16.1.  Cannot add music libraries. Requires you to first update to latest App version. Which, as apparently everyone knows but Sonos, sucks!

            Why isn’t anyone from Sonos responding to these complaints.? The fuck you attitude is disgraceful.

              I’ve been a loyal Sonos customer since the products were first introduced. This is the single worst app update I have ever seen and I am just stunned at how wrongheaded the entire thing is. I hope there will be a fix just as soon as possible because this is truly unbelievable and very disappointing.

                Not only is the design poor, it has multiple flaws. Even froze up and kicked me out of chat support.  Crashes frequently when trying to fix issues with the system. Very frustrated given the number of products I own and money I’ve invested.

                  Hey SONOS, remove this junk from the App Store and put back previous version !
