Why have Sonos removed the sleep timer function in the new App . This makes my speaker useless to me. 
   Waiting for a response from Sonos but if nothing forthcoming I will have to ditch it and change brands as I use it all the time. 
 

if you’re having the same issues please email Sonos as well, the more that do should hopefully make them take some action !!

Did we just go back 50 years in technology?!?!

I am also a regular user of the sleep timer option. 
An alternative for now could be to use the timer in iphone and set action as „stop playing“. It works but, I hope that they bring back the option. 
Also, its a bit annoying that we cannot access the EQ directly from the volume control :(

Thanks for the work around.

Really poor on the part of Sonos…this is not how to do business.

I used the sleep time every night. I can’t believe they removed this function. The app was better before these changes. Now it’s less functional and useful. If there isn’t a planned fix on the horizon. I will look into other speaker manufactures for a bedroom speaker. Eventually, switching to such brand for all speakers. Please bring back the sleep timer. I was happy before the sleep timer removal and was talking up Sonos to friends and family. Many now have the Sonos system because of me. Now, I will have to talk about a key features Sonos no longer contains.

I too use the sleep timer every night as I go to sleep.  What kind of an update is this??  How can you update to a new version and not have this feature?  Should have a way to return to the older version that worked fine for me.  Come on!

I too used the sleep timer function every night.. Disappointed that this is considered an improvement over the previous application..  I still love my speakers, but can’t believe this was overlooked.. 👎🏻

Yes, the speakers are great, but software not so much unfortunately.

 I am a long time customer of Sonos, and have purchased thousands of dollars worth of your products for use in multiple homes. I have been through all of the previous app update disasters, but this one hits a new low. The sleep timer function is the number one, single most important feature to me. My wife and I use it at night, knowing that we can fall asleep without having to manually turn off the music. How could your development team roll out a new app taking out such a critical feature, without warning? I never would have updated. Now, I can’t roll back to the previous version, and I am going to have to find a different solution. To say that I’m a furious customer is an understatement. I’d short the stock, but I see it’s already been hammered. I can see why.
