Hi, I have two Sonos One and three IKEA symfonisk.  Following the recent app update I can no longer find the alarm function under settings.  I have processed through all levels and nothing.  Has it been removed?

Huge turn off that the alarm is gone. Will most definitely make me look elsewhere when buying my next system if this is not solved quickly. What a bad design decision!

 

This is how to get the alarms back (worked for me), published by Sonos a couple of days ago. They will appear in the settings when you click on manage, right below your system info.

  1. Update your app to:
    1. iOS: 80.00.08 - available now in the App Store
    2. Android: 80.00.05 - available now in the Play Store
  2. Update your firmware to 79.0-52294 - available now via the Sonos App:
    1. Tap the settings gear in the top right
    2. Select “Manage” next to your system name
    3. Select System Updates
    4. Select Check for Updates
  3. Launch the Sonos app twice in order to guarantee we fetch the latest feature flags:
    1. Start the Sonos app
    2. Force quit the app
    3. Start the Sonos app again

I have been using Sonos since it pretty much started in 2007. I was just thinking about adding/replacing some products. Yet if they don’t get their act together I will be gone with so many other ones. The team and manager who are responsible for this mess need to be fired immediately. It‘s not just about the alarms, the don’t want you to use you own purchased music anymore as well, probably because the kickback from the music services are more lucrative. There are very viable other options out there these days.

Definitely there on the new android app for me, just not obvious. Go settings, manage, alarm. 

"Manage" looks like a greyed-out heading, but you can follow it to alarm.

Just updated the app from the App Store and it magically appeared

Latest iOS update: 80.01.30

Latest software on the speakers: 16.2


The Alarm feature completely disappeared.

The Alarm feature was the main software feature we’ve been using for years. How could developers remove that?

Down load Sonos S1 app for your phone and  the alarm settings are there the alarm does work or down load a sonos app onto your computer the alarm setting are on there.

I hope this will help
