I’m unable to add an album to existing queue. Is this feature gone or am I missing it?

Have done this and now have the old version back. Phew! Having a BBQ soon and no queues would be a DISASTER!!

Totally agree with all the comments.

This is crazy. This was the biggest feature of Sonos being able to edit a queue. It's the reason I chose Sonos over Amazon speakers! Is there a way to go back to the old app?

It’s universal folks, the removal of queue editing (or queue anything) is a step in the wrong direction with the new Sonos app. As with the Amazon music app I also use in the car or with other devices, the editing feature which allows me to create a queue, or just choose the next song I want to hear (while already listening to one) is what makes the technology enjoyable. It appears Sonos released this app upgrade very premature. A word of advice is to ensure it is fully designed before releasing. Please update the new version to include queue editing and next song choosing. It’s a must.

How can I revert to previous version please????

Please, please, please,please,please bring back the old app. I run the product management team for a large organization. I would be fired if I released an application that removed basic features, is not intuitive and provides no value to the user!  You were once highly regarded for innovation, it will take you a long time to recover from this mess.  Very disappointed in Sonos.

This has been terrible. Sleep timer and alarm are gone and I’ve already done my complaining about that, but this morning I realized that “Play Next” is gone too! I’m having other glitchy issues too, like the speaker that I was just playing is no longer listed in my system, but it is still playing. 

 

Back to “Play Next” and why I need it back… when I’m listening to a play list, I will frequently say something like “That reminds me of this song! Let’s hear that next.” The last version allowed you to insert that song next. You would hear the song you just added to the queue and then the system would go back to playing the playlist. Not anymore! 

 

This sucks!

I can’t understand how anyone at Sonos thought this app was acceptable to release in this form.

So much for the best update ever. This update is lame. Like most apps/software these days, developers seem bent on trying to cram in a bunch if new features at the expense of stability and/or performance improvements. The new app is not faster in any regard, as advertised, and it’s crazy they missed the feature to add to the end of the queue. I keep searching for a good Sonos alternative. I’ve spent enough on their speakers that i find myself trying work with the system, but it’s no longer a system I enjoy like I once did … years ago!!

I play my music library of 28 thousand sings on my sonos system in almost every room in my house. THIS IS MOSTLY WHAT I USE MY SONOS FOR! When I am playing a playlist, the next songs do not show up on the queue. What the heck?? This app is horrible!! It also does not show you recently played, which you might want to go back to if you haven’t finished listening to a playlist or just want to go back to it. Can we get the old solos 2 app back while you all get this ridiculous new update fixed?? I have never seen such an awful update, and I have been a sonos customer since 2012. 

I can’t even begin to describe to you how angry, irritated and frustrated this updated app has made me. 

The new sonos 2 app should not be black, as sonos 1 is black, and I have them both. What was wrong with the yellow Sonos 2 color?? The colors of both apps should not both be black. Bring back the yellow sonos 2 app, or change the color, so it does not look like the sonos 1 app.

Honestly, some of this is so obvious. It’s ridiculous, you all did not think of this before. The worst rollout of any new app I can ever remember. Bing back the old sonos 2 app until you all get your act together. This app should NEVER have been rolled out when it wasn’t ready!!

Sonos as a billion dollar company you have committed commercial suicide with this defective app

the old S2 should immediately be added back into the App store immediately

 

i suspect 100% of your customers will reinstall the old app - a shambolic disaster for your company
