New SONOS App - Adding to queue

 And worse, they do an interview claiming it took courage to release it. 

Ha!  Everything will work the same except for the three or more months when you can’t use your expensive hardware for the most basic functions it was purchased for!

What a complete shambles. Reminiscent of the initial release of S2 which planned to abandon support for a huge range of legacy products. This was early 2020. The CEO Patrick Spence publicly apologised after a huge negative customer reaction and committed to putting things right. To be fair he largely did. Now in 2024 Sonos have done it again. They have turned their fabulous app (my view) into an album player, no more. It’s outrageous. As customers we are paying the same for less. The CEO needs to apologise again with a firm commitment and timeline for putting things right. Everyone’s comments, we are all disgusted by this, are both well made and well placed. What is most worrying is that we are all so invested in the product (I have 10 pieces) that Sonos might think it can do what it wants!

I suspect this has been mentioned elsewhere but another blocker is the lack of capability to navigate in-track on audiobooks.  My listening was interrupted, I needed to rewind or even start the chapter again… how?

I could do this 2 days ago but now, after pausing, I can play or change volume but no moving the cursor of where I am in the chapter. 

In the chapter list there is no highlight of the current, paused track either, so I can’t navigate that way (eg by long tapping..).  Everything is just a list item with a play button - no identifying the CURRENT item.

It’s broken.  Guys you are worrying us all with this release, because it doesn’t seem as though you’ve actually tried it much yourselves first.  I know about user inertia with a redesign but this is BROKEN and I’ll compromise my experience with the source material if I just surrender to my one option of continuing to play at the point I paused. 

It’s broken and “sometime in June” is too long and you can fix today by reinstating the previous version.  If Audible had caused this and told me “sometime in June” I’d be asking for my monthly subscription to be refunded right now.

Such a bizarre decision. Another issue with the queue is each time you access, you need to start at the top then scroll page after page to view where the current track playing is. I was actually thinking they had done a good job on this update as it seamed to fix the lag issues. It might be fast now but it’s totally unusable now without queue editing. They took the queue from Peter and gave it to Paul who is waiting for the next update

Loss of queue function is ridiculous. Should at the very least warned about this - I would not have upgraded. Am left with a system that does not work for me 

July update - if that is what is suggested- is 2 months too late ( at least). 
Very dissatisfied and disappointed. 

Right now I’m really close to putting my Sonos speakers down in the lake outside and just move on with my life. I mean, what are they thinking over there at Sonos? What do they think is the purpose with their speakers? Have an empty shell of an app with no features whatsoever which make their speakers totally useless?

I once upon time bought my Sonos speakers with the sole purpose of listening to both my own music library as well as music from streaming services the way I choose.

After this update, the only feature that remains is to play the same music in different rooms. Every other feature seems to have gone down the toilet. I can just as well use Spotify Connect nowadays. At least they have a (not very good) playlist functionality..

As we say here in Sweden, this is just a ”hole iin the head”-update. Please go back to the drawing board and start over. Meanwhile, publish the previous ”working” app in App Store and Google Play so we may keep our hair.

Over and out!

To have to wait until July for basic queue management is unacceptable.  I have a party planned in July - that’s going to be interesting.  Sonos must reinstated S2 app onto the App Store immediately.

Agree the new app looks like crap. No way to change it from any color except dull gray.

Removing the edit queue feature - what are you THINKING?!? 

I was going to go back to the S2 app but nope, can’t download it any more on the Play store

Why not make it available again while you work issues or our junk this new app!

Been reading this and another thread here regarding the new app... besides histrionics and threats of lawsuits, I am as unhappy with the app as anyone else but no one will die from its existence or contract cancer from its usage, I say the most reasonable & thoughtful thing to do, be it Android or iOS, is offer a rollback to the previous version that is readily available on either platforms app store.

Come on Sonos, do the right thing and offer the rollback immediately.
