Push the “Wait till mid-June” button.

Agreed a dire update. Far from intuitive and lack of sleep function abysmal. Going backwards not forwards…

Solution for me and you if you have an Apple Watch, use Lyd -  Sleep still part of that app!

something so basic and you remove it! Those things are possible when it is BETA but it is not admissible in a FINAL version

It wasn’t removed.  Nothing has been ‘removed’. — the app has been completely rewritten and released before some functions had been written back into the new app.  Yes it makes no difference if want sleep timers but it does give you some understanding and background as to why they are not there.  As stated 10 days ago, they are due in an update mid-June.  That doesn’t look likely to change.

Also no numbers on the zone volume slider. Another backwards move.

Fair enough if you want to re-write the app but why release it with partial functionality and not complete some beta testing… Release it when it is ready!

WTF, I have used this feature every night. And what now???? I am so angry with Sonos updates. It is not the first time they mess things. Terrible.

What an answer. It is like Apple would remove printing function from macOS saying, sorry, we have rewritten the output system, printing comes with next version. Sonos app has not that much features to take them over in the feature list for „new app“. Ridiculous.

They needed the new app to be released before their new headphones arrive.

Absolutely the worst update in history. Annoying and absurdly silly. I’m angry with it all, but particularly with the missing timer. 
SONOS: massive upset!

My workaround to the missing sleep timer is I found my old AM/FM radio I had in the seventies.  It has a functioning alarm and sleep timer.  Sure, my old $5 radio doesn’t play my personal playlist, but hey, neither does my $5,000 Sonos system.  And if you can’t find one of these antiques, don’t worry, Sonos is working night and day to figure out a way to incorporate this fifty year old technology in their new app.
