Hi all,

With the latest update, alarms are now available in the Sonos app. You’ll need the latest version of the Sonos app and speaker firmware to have them show, and steps are posted in the Sonos App Redesign AMA, which are:

Update your app to:
1. iOS: 80.00.08 - available now in the App Store
2. Android: 80.00.05 - available now in the Play Store
Update your firmware to 79.0-52294 - available now via the Sonos App:
1. Tap the settings gear in the top right
2. Select “Manage” next to your system name
3. Select System Updates
4. Select Check for Updates
Launch the Sonos app twice in order to guarantee we fetch the latest feature flags:
1. Start the Sonos app
2. Force quit the app
3. Start the Sonos app again

Once you’ve performed the above, you’ll find alarms in the Sonos app under System Settings (⚙) → Manage → Alarms.

You can view the current roadmap on our article for Future Feature Updates in the New Sonos App and also in the Release Notes for Sonos software updates.

If you have any further feedback to share, please continue to share it the main topic for the New Sonos App linked below or any relevant threads on the community:

Just set an alarm @ 15:00 and nothing happened…(except for the Perez crash…)
I guess it will sound @ 15:00 GMT instead of 15:00 CET

Must be a simple fix for Sonos….

The alarms show up on the iPad and the Mac versions of the Sonos App but not on the iPhone version

To add to this there is also the recurring alert from the Sonos App to tell me the Alarm went off at 06:30 every morning (it doesn’t)

Why can’t I use a Spotify playlist as my alarm music? It worked before this last update in May 2024

Seriously? This new app sucks. Worse than Microsoft Bob. I’d be much better off with an eight dollar alarm clock from Walmart. A shame as your hardware is decent… hard to believe you’d introduce a massive software uograde without testing it. The second I dig up the Bose Wave Radio and plug that in, the Sonos is going to sit on a shelf as part of my hardware has been collection… and chances are low that I’ll think Sonos when I want an upgrade or music in a new room.

Do the edit-alarms feature was added back into the app, but I can’t edit times on them. I select a new time & press Save…. But nothing saved. Anyone else?

Alarms are apparently editable but for existing alarms when I change times or source of music, nothing is saved?

Yeah, I have a few suggestions:

FIRE THE CEO;
Reimburse us for our useless equipment!!!

Regrettably I feel the same way , I have about 10 zones over both S1&S2 , I’ve been a customer since the ver fist units 18 years ago. This new app has ruined the user experience and makes Sonos no longer worth the premium price. It needs rolling back and rethinking!
