    I get that app update text box too, but I just close it and ignore it. I have found that even with automatic updates turned off, the app eventually updates itself to the new version. So I uninstall the new Sonos i app and then reinstall the Android v16 APK which I have saved in my phone files as a Favorite. Kind of annoying, but still beats using an app that has more than half of the legacy functionality missing!

    It goes me no other option. It’s a forced update on mine.

    I just did this for the second time even though I turned off "Update automatically" within the app.  What else do I need to do to prevent it from reverting back to the new version?  I don't see anything in App Settings on my phone.

    Worked for me on 19th - now it’s lost my library and won’t let me add a shared music folder without updating.

    If I update, then I can’t add a shared folder…

    Any ideas? Running 16.1 on a Kindle Fire. Been doing this for years…

    Every update they break it. I just want to be able to listen to music around the house...

    Pay attention peeps.
    The OP’s link now goes to the 80 version, which. we all seem to agree, sucks.
    You can use that link, but scroll down and select 16.1 instead, or go here:
    https://en.softonic.com/download/sonos/android/post-download/v/16.1
    to get direct to it.

      Hi everybody, I just came here to say “Thank you” for this.

      Or, like ABBA said it, “Thank you for the music.”

      Cheers !

      Doesn't help now, The jackholes at Sonos forced some kind of firmware update blocking the old app and forcing the new one. They didn't like us having a workaround apparently.

      So, I sold my whole setup, never again Sonos, never.

      I had to change the router in my house and now the new app won't let me configure the new system, and the 16.1 app needs to be updated to the latest version in order to configure a new system. I hate SONOS with all my soul.
