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 !!

    Such an unfortunate decision to release without this critical feature that so many ppl have come to rely on daily. I also would not have updated knowing it was intentionally omitted. Poor attention to your users.

      Try emailing the CEO directly: Patrick.spence@sonos.com and ask for a refund as some of the services aren’t available. If we all take to social media it will damage the value of the brand which may have an impact on the share price. Good luck!

        I emailed the ceo

        We need to warn others and leave negative reviews in app store and google play.

          They will fix it soon. Just have patience. Emailing the CEO will do nothing.

          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... 

          Please reinstate on new app

            The new app has taken away more than it has given. No sleep timer, no last.fm integration, no local libraries etc.

             

            There should be the ability to downgrade to the old version whilst feature parity is restored. Feels like a massive beta test experiment.
             

            I hope there are some AMAZING features coming that require a rewrite of the app.

             

            Time to seriously investigate what Roon can do I think. Weekend project.

                Bonjour 

                Comment faire pour avoir la possibilité d arrêter une station de façon programmée? Par exemple dans 30 mm.

                Ce service existait auparavant mais je ne le retrouve pas sur la nouvelle application.

                Merci par avance.

                Good morning

                How can I be able to stop a station on a scheduled basis? For example in 30 mm.

                This service existed before but I cannot find it on the new application.

                Thanks in advance.

                  The Sonon app update released on 7 May is very poor.  It just suddendly updated, with no "what's new" introduction, so the user has to go figure out where everything is.  The interface is slow and quite buggy, and where's my sleep timer gone?

                  Sonos, this release was not tested properly.  Roll it back, fix the issues and rerelease with some explations about the changes

                    I agree re no longer a manual sleep timer option!! No, I don’t want to use Alexa, Google, or any voice activated device to set a timer. Please reinstate immediately! I have an older system, so at this point I can easily switch to one of your competitors. It doesn’t sound as if I’m alone.
