Having updated the Sonos App I’ve spent an hour trying to find the Alarm settings. I swear it’s missing! Please tell me where I can find them.

I can access and set alarms on my iPad using the latest app, however they don’t work in that they don’t switch on the radio. I haven’t tried just setting the default alarm sound. But will at the next opportunity.

If you have a Windows or macOS computer, the Sonos desktop client can still create and edit alarms.

(I agree it’s a real head scratcher that the new app was released without alarm support).

This is not true there is NO Mac OS client available at this time so this is bs

I appreciate the workaround (using the desktop app) however that’s very inconvenient. Just fix the app. How hard can it be to code in editing the alarms? Better yet how about we don’t release subpar app updates. Especially ones of this volume. I’m sure there are hundreds if not thousands of people who could have beta tested and let Sonos know what the issues are. Sonos have a huge turnover in the past 5 years? I’ve been with them well over a decade and have never seen such a crappy release of one of their products. Hell the S1 to S2 was a smashing success compared to this abomination of an app release. Do better Sonos! I rave about your products to my friends and have for the past decade.

I have the alarm feature but for some reason, it’s not going off at the right time and I’m not sure if it’s a time zone issue. My profile is set to the location (Malaysia) but the alarms are not going off at all. Anyone else having this issue?

I also now have an alarm every week day which I can’t turn off, change the time or change the alarm sound. And a load of other features have gone like sleep timer, queue changes etc etc. Sonos you suck so much

The Sonos Help instructions suggest there should be an Alarm button under Settings | Manage but it doesn’t exist on iOS.

This is a good way to ruin the brand value of a premium sound system. Well done. 👎

The alarm button has showed up for me in iOS last 2 days. Doesn’t look like the software version number has changed. Don’t know if Sonos is issuing updates under the same version number. Try the standard reboot and check App Store.

Thanks for all the replies. Having been in contact with Sonos I have overcome the problem by installing the desk top program on my Windows PC which gives access to the alarms and a number of other functions missing from the iOS app, including access to my music library. I was told that they intend to include these functions in later updates . Poor performance for SONOS release a half finished app.
