New SONOS App - Adding to queue

But, but, but … it’s only the best update to the app that they have ever done, remember? It is crazy just how poor the app development has been. I personally prefer stability over new features, myself. It seems like with every update, I hold my breath that my system is not going to work after the update, or there will be issues, and while it does still work, there definitely are issues, obviously. I seem to be finding myself thinking how I once enjoyed having the Sonos system. Now, it’s really not enjoyable at all. These days, there are so many issues that lead to not listening to music, but troubleshooting Sonos instead. Not cool! I have a very fast fiber network and a good mesh wifi system. Part of me wonders if Sonos just doesn’t like that I have five Play 1 speakers (I also have a Beam and Roam). Well, that’s a decent amount of money to spend and I am not here to buy new speakers regularly just so I can listen to music. I am at the point of riding it out and continue to search for an alternative.

On top of the issues in this thread alone, I can no longer access one of my libraries via the new app (just doesn’t show), that I can thankfully still access via the computer application. LAME!!!! I’m doing all I can not to be completely enraged.

hi,

when will be the “add to end of queue” be added to the new ios app?

this is a key funtionality!

thanks,

vincent.

Just going to echo the comments so Sonos knows how many people are disappointed and hopefully prioritizes the fixes. Coming out with a new app that has less queue management and can’t even add to queue is hard to fathom. This version of the controller is much worse than the last. 
 

I will say - and it sounds like I’m in the minority - I actually like the interface better. But that is not nearly worth the loss of queue functionality. 
 

We’ve lost an essential feature. May be an homage to analogue though - having to wait for the needle to lift off and the arm return before you could put the next album on. Surely not too hard to fix. Hope Sonos are taking note - just remember the total farce of Google Play Music becoming You Tube Music and being totally ignored by by them.

I have a huge library on a NAS at home and it’s now WORTHLESS!   Even if I am streaming Spotify, I want to be able to edit the queue.  I have thousands invested in Sonos and it feels like I just had the rug pulled out from under me.  This may have been the last straw.

1. I can’t search my library like I could on the old S1 or S2 app.
2. I can’t add an album in my library to the queue, or even select to play the entire album for that matter.
3. I can’t add an individual song to the queue, I can only replace the entire queue with the individual song. 

“Stream all the music on earth?”   Ha - I can’t even stream the music in my home. 

Sonos 2 was flaky as it was, and there were many times that I considered switching, but at least I could use my library.  Whoever at Sonos green-lighted releasing a new app without the basic functionality that has been around from the beginning should be fired.  This is an EPIC FAIL.

If this isn’t fixed VERY soon, So nos = So Long.

While you’re working on re-introducing the queue management could you implement a “multi-select-and-delete-at-once” feature on the mobile app? 
 

Deleting songs from the queue on S2 16.1 app version is tedious with iPhone/iPad. Even a similar way Apple implemented multi-selection on their iPhone’s Photos app would be a big improvement. Now you need to swipe or tap and tap on individual rows. It would great to select items and then just have one delete operation. 
 

I have easily gone back to version 16.1 on my iPhone and much prefer to have queue management and working search back. (There are threads on this, or search google with: GitHub iTunes charles.)

I did find the 80.00.04 app’s new Sonos Voice Location for weather feature useful so I enabled that before downgrading. It continues to work. 

This update truly sucks. Clearly done without any use of focus groups etc. is there anyway of reverting to the previous version?

This is freaking beyond neurotic. This is not hyperbole. Whatever moron at Sonos That green lit this change should be fired. 
 

it’s bad enough I can’t even skip a freaking song on a Lock Screen and now I can’t edit the upcoming songs?

what freaking idiots run this crap? This is inexcusable. Do you ever beta test anything? Bring this back NOW.

i can do this on a CD for freak sake. What a joke. I am so fed up with your high price crap that has poop for an app. 
 

Use to love sonos….10 years ego.  Now I am haiting sonos.  To much bugs, thé New version did not solve much.  I was selling sonos to Every ones, now I tell people to sell their speakers before it worth nothing.  Bad, this succes company will close shortly.

Hi Jamie,

Thanks very much for this. In the meantime, would it be possible to make the previous version available separately in the app stores (the way that S1 is still available)? I (and many others) would go back to it in a heartbeat. 

Thanks! :)
