New SONOS iOS app (May 2024) is TOTAL RUBBISH!!

The New Sonos iOS app is absolutely terrible. If you haven’t upgraded yet please please don’t. There are so many missing features and bugs to boot. It looks like an pre-Alpha version of software rushed to market without being properly tested or checked.
PLEASE PLEASE  PLEASE Sonos bring back the S2 app for download on the App Store. If I could downgrade I would do it in a heartbeat. I’m a long time user and fan of Sonos products but frankly this is a big miss a disaster. This new app is almost unusable. This is Sonos’s Windows Vista moment. 
Please listen to your users Sonos, negative feedback is everywhere now. Please give us back the S2 app whilst this one goes back to the drawing board or perhaps the trash can.

    Looking for a recycling center to take my Sonos speakers.  Any suggestion?  These are worthless and have been nothing but frustrating.

      Agree with all, the new app is a nightmare.  I’m certainly not a techie, but this app is unusable!

          Omg - I have posted 4 times now. The app gets worse and worse. I reinstalled everything and thought it was sorted. But NO! I had the same song coming out of beam, play 1, beam and ones. All at different parts of the song. SORT IT OUT SONOS. This is utter *. I am so utterly * off

            I am listening to albums mixed in the worse possible way. Cowboys from hell mixed with the next 4 songs. I am selling my hardware. What a loads of *. Whoever sanctioned this app needs to be * fired - it has ruined something that I absolutely loved. £5000 of speakers worthless. Thank you Sonos.

              No words for this. Initially could not even set alarm, fortunately it is back although far hidden. Room manageent is so bad, i cannot switch rooms and play music. I ended up buying Sonospad to be able to use my Sonos system again. So annoyed, if I had not spend all that money I would have ditched the system. Shame on you Sonos!

                    I hope Mr. Spence hangs around long enough to see the impact this App “downgrade” has on the Sonos bottom line. Enough of us will be leaving negative reviews in enough places that potential customers will decide they need to look elsewhere. Sonos have a responsibility to ensure constancy with their products - but more importantly, basic functionality. I can no longer add songs discovered in Spotify to the active queue (or any queue actually). It feels as if an absolute idiot designed this and boy does it show. Never again with Sonos.

                      Junk, junk, junk. How can a global brand get away with this awful software.
