Hi, new sonos app was just installed on my android. It is a mess, half of the services won't work, can't find the other half. Design is chaotic. Had my favourite radio stations on top, now they are mixed and hidden somewhere. 

How do i revert to the old version?

I got the previous version on apkmirror.com and installed it. Disabled auto update in app store and sonos app. Now everything is good again.

 

But I'm thinking about selling my Sonos stuff. I don't want to depend from a bunch of incompetent people when listening to music

I have an Msc in computer science and software development. One thing i learned in the beginning: don't change the UI or general any interface if it is not absolutely necessary. Why should i watch an instruction video or read a manual for getting to know how a product works when I already use it for so many years?! Sonos,  get back to basics and learn about user friendly software

It is buggy, sticky, unresponsive…...grouping and ungrouping rooms doesn’t work properly anymore. In summary appalling. Shame on you Sonos, you have ruined a great system.

No more sleep timer, which I used every day. Result, can't play music or it will play all night. No music makes my Sonos system useless now. Looking at my useless speakers, guess I was stupid buying them. Canceled my order for new speakers. Will have to look for another provider.

This works, and I hope it will indefinitely. All features I need are in the previous version.

Sonos, your last update sucks. Why do you have to make to make it so complicated to navigate... I couldn't even figure out how to turn it off.. ridiculous.…

No MidRange either... Tv does not sound clear.

I am considering dumping this system

Yes. What a disaster this new app is. Lost most control of my Music Library, can’t see my Playlists on my iPad, can’t see anything in queue. How do I update my Music Library? Where’s the sleep timer and how do I manage Alarms? I don’t think answering that “we’re working on this and will fix in the next few months” is an adequate answer here… Please revert Sonos app to previous version… and maybe think about releasing your update in a few months, when you’ve figured out how to preserve functionality. I shouldn’t have to go find the old app on some mirror site. Sonos - show some responsibility here rather than telling your customers to suck it up.

New ap is dreadful.  Why do people think they need to fix something that is not broken?  Old ap works on my I pad but I reloaded it on my I phone , spoke to someone after an hour on hold, then as soon as I got it fixed and hung up it insisted on updating, so now it doesn’t work.  Very frustrating.

A new release has to have the same functionalities as minimum . The alarm, the local music library the snooze...does t works In the new app, on Mac or windows app ( official information in sonos web page)

The android release is a beta release. Please consider to revert to the previous release or add the same functionalities
