New Sonos app removes key features - beware!

Having just upgraded to the new app, I’m utterly amazed at how poor it is from a user perspective.

  • There is no longer a volume number indication
  • You cannot edit queues
  • You cannot add single songs to a queue as ‘play next’ or ‘add to end’
  • You cannot create or edit any alarms

How did this get through any UAT? These are basic features every Sonos user has enjoyed for years.

Absolutely ridiculous, please add this functionality back ASAP.

    I've encountered significant issues with the latest update. Previously, I could easily play music from my NAS, but now I can only add one song at a time to the queue. Additionally, there's no option to roll back to the previous version, which is quite frustrating. I was considering buying extra speakers for different rooms in my house, but I'm holding off on that for now. If this issue isn't resolved quickly, I may have to replace my Sonos system with a more reliable alternative.

    Fortunately, I found instructions on< https://www.technetbooks.com/ > to roll back to the previous version of the S2 app. I've disabled auto-update, and for now, the system is working as it did before. I won't be updating the app on any devices until this issue is addressed properly.
