the new Sonos ios app update is TERRIBLE! DO NOT UPDATE!

The app also doesn’t swap between systems. I have a system at home and one at work. Seems I can only choose one system to use now. 

This is embarrassing for you Sonos 

You just need to use the same HouseholdID and add the various WiFi networks to the App to get around the multi-location issue, but it’s a bit late if you’ve approached the Home/Work setup with different Households. It’s perhaps now easier to maybe use two controller devices instead, I only have the one phone so it made sense to expand the HH across all locations and so I don’t encounter the issue with the new App, fortunately.

I will now be selling up. Cannot believe how poor “The Sonos app is redesigned and better than ever” this release is, and just don’t want to bother to wait for this joke of a company to fix it.

Are you able to add or edit wifi settings in the new app? I can’t find it, heard it’s not supported now but maybe just edit? 

Yup, vaporized ALL of my Sonos playlists, which I’ve only been creating for years. Seriously, how incompetent do you have to be to release an update that proactively destroys a core feature of your platform? In a world in which apps auto-update without people knowing.

And here’s the best part—do you think they give a crap that they’ve destroyed the curated listening environments of thousands of customers?

They’ll say “I’m Sorry” of course. But will they compensate us where it counts by giving us all substantial credits in their store (since we’re all stuck in the ecosystem, especially me - 14 years in)?

Jerks.

While I’m livid about how utterly poor the new app is, you might find that your playlists are hiding deep in the section called Sonos Favourites. 

No, that’s why I mentioned to @Goose9 earlier, to go with using separate controllers - it’s easier than switching the work system to use their Home HouseholdID (that means resetting the work devices).

In my own case, I had already addressed the multi-location issues, as I already use Sonos products at multiple locations, including when we travel around the UK - so each location we have uses the same Sonos HouseholdID as the main Home, albeit those different locations have different WiFi credentials (SSID/Password).

I already had the various WiFi networks listed/stored in the new App (imported from S2), but cannot currently add a new network - I’m guessing that feature will be added later.

Just seen this on the Sonos home page….
 

I don’t know whether to laugh or cry

Der må da være et par teknikker hos SONOS der hurtigst muligt kan få den nye APP. op og virke.

Ellers må den gamle SONOS APP gøres tilgængelig igen.

Hvor svært kan det være?

It almost seems that the software development team are not themselves longstanding SONOS users and have little to no appreciation for the existing core features and functionality. Either that or they were specifically tasked with trying to enrage and disenfranchise as many SONOS users as possible, shatter user confidence and irreversibly destroy the SONOS brand. 
 

Maybe the app update was outsourced!?
