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.

This new app is a total cluster. Multi-room speaker selections and volumes are not working. My favorite stations are now in completely random order! You seriously could not even give us an alphabetical sort option?!! This is unbelievably clunky and so disappointing…. And my Boost is now useless, sigh. I have loved Sonos, but this is egregious…

I am unable to use my Move or Roam for some reason on the updated app. When I select them, I get “Unable to connect at this time, please try later”

I don’t normally do reviews or write on blog boards but I had to add to this thread to support that this app update is terrible. It’s wonky at best, frustrating on every level and has a mind of its own. Sometimes won’t turn off or on and the volume doesn’t work half the time. It’s not user friendly anymore. And my friends and neighbors that use Sonos agree. It’s making me consider a different system all together for my home (I currently have about 4 or 5 Sonos products).

Just done the update to iOS app build 80.00.08

This small update brings Alarms back and it has allowed me to connect to my system.

Hope they’re working this weekend closing the gaps.

Small progress better than none!

Sonos, you need to fix this update or even do a rollback. I had a working system until this update. This is intolerable and makes me wonder if I should move away from Sonos to another working system. Fix this problem now!
