Sonos, why would you release an app upgrade with so many problems!? Where are my playlists? They're gone! Where are my alarms?  I can no longer edit or save the queue! Where are my albums? I can't change the home interface! I can delete some of the things you guys added automatically but there's nowhere I can see to add anything. What a mess!

Don't you guys check your work? I've been reading some other letters and there are many more problems.

SONOS PLEASE FIX THIS ASAP

Personally I am done with Sonos. This is pathetically bad. “Nonfunctional,” as someone said. With a million ways to stream to Bluetooth speakers there is no reason to tolerate such a garbage product.

considering getting rid of Sonos because of this.

This app has been rendered completely useless.  I can’t believe this app made it out of testing.  Absolutely nothing works as it should.  Can’t even add a song to a queue

They claim it took "courage" to release the update. If making a completely idiotic decision equals courage then I guess.

Playing mp3 files in folders on my PC does nor work anymore. Each track must be individually selected and started. After that, SONOS just stops. Terrible!

In addition, most tracks now list ‘unkown’ as the title. Really?

The person who OK’d this app upgrade for mass distribution should be fired immediately!

Indeed so.
The “courage” I’m hoping for now (as the bare minimum!) is for them to admit they’ve screwed up (and roll us all back to the previous version of the app - for the time being). 
Their silence - while we suffer - is contemptuous.

Sonos...Why have you left the PC Controller software un-touched, but force-upgraded Android * Fire Tablets with completely dis-functional software which is totally unrecognisable & pure awful? :-(

TERRIBLE APP. I woke up this morning and the app can’t see my devices. I’ve tried everything. The speakers are totally useless to me at this point. What a disappointment.
