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

Many thanks, Audiophone. Seeing the new “improved” app was a real shock. Rollback is a great relief.

How can I use my Sonos speaker as an alarm clock now when they have removed the alarm clock function in the new app. Can you somehow connect the speakers to an other app? This is messing up my life, I don’t wake up with only my phone as an alarm clock!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Fix this now!!!!!!!

Now you can only do with the windows or Mac app S2

Dear Sonos: you launched a buggy update (with much fanfare) without key features working - thereby annoying me and thousands of like-minded customers. Are you kidding me? C’mon, you’re better than this. Someone should be fired NOW.

(iOS) Anyone else having trouble with the repeat track function? How bout clearing the queue?

What a disaster of an update. Can’t set alarms on my phone now, have to go to my laptop instead. But even if I change the alarms, the app on my iPhone keeps giving a notification that the alarm went off, at the old setting! What a piece of crap.

Sonos, this is hugely disappointing. I’m locked in, but I will not recommend Sonos to anyone going forward.

I confirm that for Android users, S2 version of the app is available. You need to uninstall Sonos application first, then download the right apk and explicitely install it.

Don’t forget to disable the automatic update in Sonos S2 System Parameters

Don’t forget to disable the automatic update in Sonos S2 System Parameters

And auto updates in Google play (as I found out the hard way)

This will crash Sonos stock. Wait for it.

Same here.
It just seems to get worse and worse lately.

Constant issues with connecting to my (hard wired) speaker, and now they go and screw up the app!

No more alarms, no timer function. Cant even set the alarm on the web version, although they say we can.

Its an absolute shambles and I am going to list my systems on marketplace as soon as I suss an alternative.
And I haven’t seen any apology from Sonos. Just promo messages saying they have a new improved app!?! What a terrible operation!
