S1 Android App crashes every time I search in "stations"

Hi - recently I’ve had this issue - every time I search for a radio station and click on “stations” to refine the search, the app crashes.  I’ve cleared the cache, I’ve re-installed the app and it hasn’t resolved it.

I’m using the S1 app, a Samsung S20, and have the following services installed:

Sonos Radio

Amazon Music

Radio Paradise extension

TuneIn Radio

 

thanks

Hello,

I have the same problem on Android 10. I believe a recent update to Sonos S1 broken this a couple of weeks ago. The iOS S1 app seems unaffected.

Searching on my local music library or Spotify works fine. But as soon as I search Stations for anything, S1 immediately closes and I cannot use it. This makes searching for radio stations unusable.

My diagnostic number is: 1550445801

When is a fix anticipated?

Thanks.

Hi folks,

Thank you for reaching the Sonos Community.

We really do apologize for the inconvenience. We are continuously working to improve the functionality of this feature and will keep you posted on this.

In the meantime, you can do the following options:
1. Use an iOS controller to perform the desired action - if available.
2. Browse or Search for the respective content without using either the "Podcasts & Shows" or "Stations" filter.

If you need help with any other information, please be sure to let us know.

We're here to answer any further questions you have.

Fortunately for me, I can control Sonos via my home automation system (OpenHAB) which I have configured with the radio stations my wife likes. OpenHAB software is free.

Given that Sonos have no schedule, it is an option for anyone technicaly minded. I say this knowing full well that the selling point of Sonos is plug and play simplicity of use, so this is not likley suitable for many people.

Same issue here.

I can look for artists on the App, but each time I try to search on stations or podcasts, the sonos s1 app crashes.

Fortunately, I can do the same from the Mac OS app, but this is a really expensive system that should not have this kind of problems

I have the same issue on my Galaxy S9+ -- immediate crash upon initiating a search.  Pending an update/fix from Sonos, Is there some website where an earlier version of the Sonos controller is available?  Thanks

How much longer am I expected to wait for an update to solve this problem? Most of us have spend hundreds or even thousands of dollars for your equipment. This problem has been ongoing for over 6 weeks. The solution of upgrading to S2 compatible equipment is unacceptable. Please advise.
