Latest app update 80.09.05 (iOS)

Today’s latest app update includes the following:

  • Improvements to setup flow
  • Added ability to set appearance between light mode/dark mode/system default
  • Improved queue management including ability to reorder, delete individual items, and scroll
  • Improved performance when browsing content in Home and in Browse
  • Continued improvements to user interface
  • Added Trueplay support for iOS18

BUT (per the bolded point) I can’t delete any tracks from a queue, either before playing a playlist or when the playlist is playing (i.e. becomes a queue). I can reorder songs now but I can’t see any option to delete a track from the queue. 

Am I missing something?

It works for me (on iPad) by swiping left on a track.

iPhone app is crap. Now it won’t even load. Launch the app it starts it crashes. I’ve never had such a useless poorly developed piece of crap before.

These developers don’t even know what they’re doing or how to develop anything that just works!

Thanks. That works - appreciated. 

But in terms of being intuitive, why not make it an option on the three dots too?? Three dots shows some queue management options but swiping actions another!

From a queue I can re-order by holding and moving, and delete by swiping left. This is on an iPhone running the now ancient iOS 17.7. I think it would be a little more intuitive to have added delete song when you press the three dots by the side of a track too. 

Still missing playlist functionality, and no sign of a speaker firmware fix for the mess that is artist different to album artist… 

So small signs of progress…

Swiping left is as intuitive as it is in the 16.1 app :) 

It also doesn’t have it under …

However, the 16.1 has Clear, Edit, Save options directly visible. Pressing Edit takes the queue into edit mode and brings the iOS style - icon on the left to delete. (Which isn’t that great either)
 

I hope one day there will be an improved version where you can mark multiple items at one go and then press Delete to remove them. Swiping left multiple times is a bit cumbersome.

I see a big improvement in performance when browsing (just wish the play/shuffle buttons were a little more responsive in the MSP’s like Amazon & Apple Music).

Nice that we can now edit (drag/drop) and delete (swipe left) each track in the room queue.👍

I guess saving the queue as a Sonos playlist is still to be implemented.

The App startup time seems to be much quicker in my own case too.

I had looked on the Apple App Store last night for an update and there wasn’t any.

Went back this morning after reading this post and yep there was an update for the app. Downloaded it and now the app for iOS is loading and playing my music.

i don’t know about a bunch of feature enhancements I think the focus should be to keep the stability of the app a priority.

i have to say I’ve already started researching alternatives to my Sonos system. It won’t take very much of this kind of instability for me to dump Sonos.

 Queue still does not follow the music progress.  This is the very basics of control point functionality.  Still no local library album art in the queue.  As far as the ability to move tracks in the queue I wish that was only available after selecting the missing choice “Edit”; to easy to accidentally move a track.  Also where is Save?  Is Sonos abandoning Sonos Playlists.

But no Android update and no communication so much for wanting to win back user trust.

New Android release is scheduled for Sept 24.
