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

Title: "Disappointing Update: Alarm Management Moved to Website"

I recently noticed that the app underwent a significant overhaul, boasting a fresh new look and some promising features. However, I was left scratching my head when I discovered that alarm management, once conveniently handled within the app, has now been inexplicably shifted to the website.

As a user who relied heavily on the app for its seamless alarm customization, I find this change utterly baffling. The app was intuitive and user-friendly, allowing me to effortlessly set and adjust alarms with just a few taps. Now, having to navigate to the website feels like a step backward in terms of convenience and accessibility.

While I appreciate the efforts to modernize the app, this particular decision to remove alarm functionality feels like a misstep. I hope the developers reconsider and reintegrate this essential feature back into the app, restoring the ease and efficiency that initially drew users like myself to it. Until then, I can't help but feel disappointed by this update.

Indeed this is a major step back !!! I realized it when I did the update of the Sonos app on my IPhone so I did not do it on my iPad…I do hope Sonos will find a workaround soon. Alex

Give us back the old app!

I need sleep timer every night to fall asleep!

Seriously, I hope it is a bug and not a design choice.

 

Ps. Give us back the sound volume number on the volume slider in the room page. I hoped for a volume knob, but you removed the number.

They delivered a bullshit new app version. Can’t understand why they do not offer a rollback to the older version when so many complains arises. Not a trustworthy company at all.

How did this new app get approved for release?  It is junk.  You just don't remove basic functions and say uhh, they will return sometime in the future.  Not sure when, but trust us.

There should be a period of Beta test time allowing users to test snd comment on any new app release. It's just not fair to find this when you need to play content and then have to spend 30mins to find ones way around a new app.

If it has taken months to develop this new app, why expect users to jump straight in and operate it straight away?

Where are the timers?

Please allow to switch between the old and new interfaces.

So it seems you can still access the alarms and sleep timers from the Windows app, and possibly some others.

Note to self… set timer before going to bed!
