The alarms and sleep timer are gone in the new app? Did sonos really destroy such essential features or is this a bug? 

I really hope they didnt just go "fork the paying user" on us here, a ton of us use and rely on those every single day. Gonna look for a money back option here

      Same, I used sleep timer for music to fall asleep every night and the alarm every morning. 

      Seems sonos decided that widgets are a thing of the past as well.

      The arrogance of companies who think they know better than what the users want and need baffles me. I hope this widespread backlash on the community and app stores will force them to listen instead

        I used sleep timer and alarm.  If it was such a bad idea to put in the old system then why did they do it in the first place.  It's a great feature.

          WTF? Why??

          Thank god that I did not updated my iPad. The funny thing is I cancel my wake up call on my iPad, but this morning there was a notification from Sonos on my iPhone. So I really hoping someones * it up at Sonos and it will be

          back.

              Having just woken up to the Sonos "default" tones instead of my chosen radio station, I discover to my delight (sarcasm) that my app has updated on Android and now I can no longer set my alarms. 

              Does this not just show how out of touch Sonos are with us, the people who have paid for a premium music system, that they don't realise they're are likely quite a few people who use alarms and sleep timers?

                What a terrible app update. Shiny new FYP but no alarm or sleep timer?  Great job Product team… NOT!

                  I also used alarms daily. Have only just bought a Sonos product for my bedroom. Would have chosen different system if I had been warned about this change coming. I read somewhere that the alarm feature will be back in a future update. WHEN???

                      Sonos …Why why why did you remove the sleep timer feature that is clearly widely used.  Tell me how to have music play at bedtime for two hours and then shut down while I am in a deep slumber.  Not a good choice, Sonos.  Please fix this ASAP,
