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 !!

      As a workarround for the speakers that have bluetooth and you listen online radio, i have stopped using the sonos app, connected the Bluetooth and using tune in radio app with sleep timer

        Just adding to the thread.   Really a poor decision to remove the sleep timer / alarm from the app.  As many others, I use them regularly.  The workaround that has been suggested is all well and fine...but what a pain.   Sonos, you’ve taken a step backwards and I’ve sent an email to the CEO to express my disappointment.

          the sleep timer can be set by voice, there is nothing wrong with it, much worse that there is no alarm, e.g. at 8 a.m. the radio turns on automatically, etc., that's what I had with the old application and now it's a bummer :-/// I hope this functionality will come back. I use this functionality a lot, someone didn't really think through the new application :-/

            Again, like everybody written above, I can't believe Sonos have taken the timer function way, like many I use it when I go to sleep - sonos bring it back ASAP, please

              The new app is complete rubbish, not user friendly, no sleep timer, lost use of tuning, please can we have the old app back?

                    To me it is completly insane to force people to the New app when basic features Arent Even working and with No way to downgrade.. It really feels like your pissing down our backs.. My sonos is now pretty much useless.. At the absolutly least you could do was to warn the users before hand.
