Setting / changing alarms in new app

I have updated to the new app. Like the new layout, but how do I access, set and remove alarms on my system, now?

You don't. You have to wait until our overlords decide to include that feature, (amongst a handful of others that were removed,) back in on a future update.

Actually the official statement posted on some of the other threads is to use the Windows or Mac OS desktop app. It is the only remaining app to not have been updated. Also keep your devices from updating to the new app until they roll back in the removed features.

I love my Sonos and use the sleep timer and alarm options every day. 
 

I spent 10 minutes browsing the new app last night looking for both these things and thought I was going crazy not being able to see them on the new app. I my husband realised it must be the new app and did not update his app because I needed to set the sleep timer and confirm my alarms were set.
 

Please bring back these two functions. My whole family uses the Sonos alarm every morning!

What in the actual hell are you thinking at Sonos???? If there is no option to set or change an alarm the product is virtually USELESS to me. I can’t believe this is teal just spent 20 minutes searching through the new app

Like others above I’m not impressed with the fact that you can’t set alarms with the App update. Why send out an update which doesn’t contain the basics. Luckily the wife hasn’t updated to new App. Come on Sonos establish what your users want and need.
