The new app is an unmitigated disaster. I think on that everyone seems to be agreeing.

I’ve now rolled back to the previous version on my Android phone. Its a bit of a fiddle but can be done. Its definitely worth doing. It suggest others who are frustrated with the new version do the same.

    Nah, I gave up in sheer frustration 😔 

    Hopefully they sort it out soon.  I phoned them and apparently it was meant to be sorted with an update in June...

    Yeah, I also phoned them with no success.  I asked them why couldn't they just remotely install the s1 firmware but they said they can only update not downgrade (but installing firmware is just a 'flash process which installs whatever version they choose).  This is clearly a commercial position rather than a technical one (probably because they would be swamped with people wanting the same done) - Very frustrating!

      I hate the new version, so hard to use and cannot play my music library any longer.  Regret investing so much in Sonos, it worked beautifully before the update.
      Question - I rolled back to version 16.1 and it works, but I cannot add my music library.  When I try to add it, the app tells me I need to update the app, but we all know the music library does not work on the new app.  Any suggestions for how to get my music library back (it’s on iTunes on my laptop) it worked just fine on Sonos before the upgrade, I refuse to do Apple Play or Air Play or anything else that costs me money on iTunes.

        I tried an app downgrade on Android but still it doesn't work for me. My TV to Sonos arc sound isn't working
