local library search update mid June

But what else can a consumer do ? Apart from vote with your feet and don't buy any future products. I've invested far too much to walk away........ Even though I want to !!!

I don’t understand why the new App was released early either, as the Sonos Ace Headphones mostly uses the new App for configuration & updates (It doesn’t even really need the App post-setup, except for updates/adjusting EQ/turning features on/off like spatial head-tracking) and I can’t see why those things could not have been added to the S2 App. Even the ‘excellent’ TV Audio Swap feature is done with a button press on the headphones once setup with an Arc.

I still think that there must be other reasons why the App was pushed out the door quickly. That said I’ve not encountered that many issues with the new App, I just find it a little slow in some areas like launching the App from a fully closed state can take approx. 7 seconds, as an example …and it can take a few seconds for playback to begin once a play/pause button is pressed. I’m guessing though that the App optimisation may come later and improve those things.

I find the new Sonos App quite similar to the Amazon Music App and that’s really quick to start music playback - so hopefully that aspect will improve later.🤞

I do believe this is what would be called a lie. 

That’s great Ken. seems like you are the one person the app is working well for. 

I think once the library search/features have been added and queue editing, I’d be able to get along okay with how I like to use things. The App has been stable on my iPhone & iPad and the Music/TV audio is still playing here …and sounding good too. Any of the things I need, that are missing, like clearing a queue, for example, I’ve been using the Soro App for that, plus there’s always SVC and Alexa voice services too that seem to work well on Sonos around our Home, especially for grouping/ungrouping rooms and easily adjusting group volume.

Do you value that feature more than volume control?  🤣 I’m being a facetious, of course.  They c***ed up the entire thing.  I miss the library search too, but I can work around it with the desktop app or SonoPhone app.  Zombie zones are a worse issue for me.  Volume control is a @#$#ing joke.  That is so basic, if they can’t sort that out...and you’re expecting them to get around to even more complex features.  Squeezing blood out of a stone is more likely.

None of these “features” should be missing - this app should have never been released for every reason.  I don’t even call them “features” as they are basic functions that had been working for well over 10 years. SONOS has broken the functionality of the system.  Not only with the app, but the firmware as well.

Its now the 19th July 2024 and the local library search/edit issue still hasn’t been fixed. Sooooooooooooooooooooooooo poor from Sonos,  I just cannot believe they did this to us who only use their local library. Terrible that was overlooked, i have lost total faith in Sonos and won’t be adding to setup at all. I’m looking at alternatives already, i’m now enjoying my old Hi-FI setup, so much better than Sonos.

Sonos, never,ever again, YOU RUINED MY LIFE.
