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.

I totally agree, the previous version of the app worked well. Why was this version released? For instance, who decided to remove the alarm function from this version? Please give us the option to downgrade, fix the new app and release it again when it has been properly tested.

This new version is a total disaster. Plus when I tried to go back to the old version I am being asked to pay a monthly fee. I have reverted to use the old app on my cell phone, which I had happily not upgraded before testing the new app on the I-Pad.

For the time being I am listening to my streaming services and my music library from my I-Phone or my computer, using my Sonos Move as a stand alone Bluetooth speaker.

Give me back all my functionalities, quick, please!

I completely agree.This new app and it’s web browser equivalent are all most 100% useless. The app doesn’t display fully on either phone, tablet or web browser I can’t choose music to play. Can just about get my Sonos roam to play the last radio channel I listened too and the last play list. Complete waste of time. I am regretting ever investing in a Sonos system. Bring back the old S2 app now.

Complete garbage. I’ve had to call multiple times to tech support, no answers! Need to be able to go back to old app or my speaker system is worthless. Won’t “connect” keeps playing different music on different speakers and won’t change when I try on the app. Come on Sonos be better!

Found a suggestion on the Sonos facebook page to download the S2 app from APKmirror. Downloaded version 16.1 as suggested and back to the good old days!. Just have to make sure it doesn’tk auto update.

Why is the hold time so long, 100 min yesterday and 70 min just now. Why did they destroy the app?

Totally agree

App is unusable for more than one song at a time unless you want to play a whole album.
Can’t just play songs that you feel here and now only already created playlists it’s absolute rubbish

It’s never been the most seamless app but if it doesn’t update soon it maybe time for Sonos and I to part company

I have just gone back to the last app 16.1

All my playlists and local music library all working again,

Wont be upgrading again until this forum is bursting with posts praising sonos for sorting out their monumental fuck up (good luck with that one as they haven’t even admitted to their mistake yet)
