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

Thanks to this new update, I can’t controll my Bass without something like 5 clicks (rather than 2) and every time I try to play music it starts playing on my tv first, or at least pausing it, much to the annoyance of anyone watching the tv at the time. I work in tech in product and I am astounded by how poor this app update is. Consider some new hires for your app team please. We spent thousands on our system and they are actively frustrating to the whole family now. I should caveat that I didn’t exactly love the old app either, it was flawed, but at least most of the time when I checked a room and said I want to play it in this room, it listened, instead of always ignoring my selection and playing in my media room.

Hi all, I *desperately* want to get the old app back, but the only choices I see when I look at APK mirror are Android ones.  How do I do it if I have an Apple iphone XR?  Thank you.

Agree. Terrible few days with this app. VERY frustrating!!!

My Sonos app made me update this morning and it’s so terrible. I use Amazon music service and it only allows you to shuffle 100 tracks or less on your playlist. I have playlists that hundreds on songs that I can’t even select to play. What’s the good of that! I also cannot get the Sonos voice control to work at all. I realize there are always problems launching new things but these seem pretty basic for a music/speaker app. I’m an iPhone user as well. Maybe later I’ll try to uninstall reinstall the app to see if that improves anything. But please Sono fix these issues ASAP. We pay too much for these speakers not to be able to use them properly. 

This update is total garbage.

I’ve rebooted my router, reg=booted my devices, and 2 can share the same music, and the other sometimes runs only by itself!

Sonos, bring back the old iOS app for now!

The new app is total rubbish. 

I agree totally.  Fortunately I found a suggested alternative that I just tried and it works great for me. The app is “SonoPad” and cost $5.00 and certainly worth it. Unfortunately it's made only for iPad and not iPhone or Mac PC. I primarily use my iPad so it's fine with me. If others are interested I highly recommend it.  It may take a while to get to know it but it connects to my NAS with ease.  Love it.

The new app is rubbish. I mostly stream from my NAS drive. The new app cannot hold a shortcut to the NAS, when I browse to it and go to scroll through the folders/ artists, it takes forever as there is no sidebar scroll to allow going quickly A to Z. Also when I choose a track in a folder it only plays that track and no others in the folder. I've abandoned using the app and now use a 3rd party streaming app, the only downside is my mobile needs to be constantly on for this to work. 

Thank you so much! you are a life saver !!!! I am back to the last version and everything works again!!!!! 🙏🙏🙏

The iPhone version is called “SonoPhone” and also works seamlessly with NAS on local networks. Their sales must be booming! Shame that SonoPad only does landscape orientation (so far as I know).
