The new Sonas app is awful. It typically will not connect to music even when the music is playing, hence I cannot switch the music of,

but worst problem is trying to control the volumes of the various sonas speakers. Even when I adjust the volume in the app it mysteriously changes itself back to the other setting.

trying to adjust volumes is almost impossible and VERY VERY frustrating.

fthis app should not have been released in such a dismal and poor state. It really damages Sonas reputation and brand.

when will these problems be fixed..?

No, it is not.  You said their “silence is deafening”.  I don’t find a dedicated support page detailing what has been fixed and a schedule for future fixes to be “deafening”.  Quite the opposite.  What would you like them to do, contact you directly?  Come to your door to hand deliver the fixes?

This is a Sonos forum filled with people bombarding Sonos with complaints.

And they still have the cheek to send us Marketing emails.  

Sort it out Sonos.

I agree. You’d think someone from the company would chime in here to point us to the Available Now and Coming Soon info. But the simple fact is that they released an updated app that was not ready for release. Companies need to very careful when updating something that is so important to the functionality of their products. In this case an app update has caused brand damage to some extent.

I have just found this thread. I thought it was just me. This is absolutely the worst business decision that Sonos has ever made. From having a brilliant product and service they have clearly destroyed it. I recognise all the issues here as they are my issues. How can the company not have customer service at this scale.

To be fair, the page you posted doesn’t include system stability issues like @Becks0568 reported on the new app.  Issues like

With systems that were working on the old app.

We certainly are bombarding ourselves 😂.  It would be reassuring if Sonos acknowledged a broader list than @jgatie linked to.  It seems obvious they are aware of issues such as system instability because their change logs show some attempt at addressing them.

Well given that nothing has been fixed...and they're not responding on this forum, then yes !

Are they oblivious to this forum ?
