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

    Sonos. It's a shame deploying an application like that. My setup is not recognized anymore (one of my Era 100 is not visible). The application is very slow, and it's a downgrading in every features. Give us the old S2 back. Right now.

      Accepted forced update to new app, what a mess it is compared to previous functional version. 
      Biggest impact is now cannot connect Beam to TV, not matter what method I try to connect it.

      Could someone please explain how I can revert app update on iPhone and iPad back to previous version so I can reconnect Beam to TV.  Sonos this update is a mess, not even Beta worthy !!!  In the software world you have totally disregarded the #1 rule: “if it ain’t broken don’t fix it” !!!
      Please revert to previous.  

      After spending 3 hours faffing around this morning trying to reconnect our Beam to TV I came across a random post on internet by someone with same issue as mine above.  

      The poster had resolved the issue by turning off the main power supply to TV, Sonos Beam and Fetch TV Box, disconnected HDMI Arc cable from TV to Beam and unplugged power supply from rear of Fetch TV box.  

      After waiting 5 mins the power supply to TV and Beam were turned on.  Once TV sound was deemed operational the HDMI Arc cable to Beam was plugged back into TV to reconnect Beam to TV.  Sound was restored to Beam and the app could used to switch between TV or music streamed from latest app.  

      Power to Fetch TV box was then restored and TV reconnected to Fetch box.  Sound from TV was still being broadcast from Beam and controllable from new Sonos app.

      Having nothing to loose I worked through the process described above and successfully reattached our Sonos Beam to the TV.  Can now use the new app to switch between TV and music streaming as needed.  

      Hope the above is of use to others who have disconnected Sonos devices.  It may a matter of a total power off shutdown then a systematic restoration.  But on the other it may not be, given some of the situations I read about today.

      This new app certainly needs work to get it up to speed as restoring my lost favourite stations was certainly not an easy task.

        This is crazy! You have to QA your app before you release no? If you redesign your UI, you should at least maintain the same functionalities?! Not to mention the bugs, many features I rely on daily are missing. Where's the  sleep timer? Where's the rewind/fast forward button? Software quality was never a strength of Sonos, but this was a new low!

          Personally I think Sonos have done a fantastic job....... of completey destroying their company. I was on the beta program for a long time and would recommend Sonos to anyone who would listen. Oh how the tables have turned. I now spend far more time diverting people away and this latest disaster has reinforced that message. Now trying to revive the S1 app to get back to the good old days. I have a huge selection of music on my music library and can now only play one song at a time. What a mess Sonos. What were you thinking, oh wait, you clearly weren't!

              How exactly can that be done? I’m bereft of the previous version. What have they done?!

                    Disaster of a update. Cannot believe Sonos would tarnish their reputation with this crap
