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

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

I have nothing good to say about the new app.

YAY there’s been an app update so I thought the sleep timer would be back 🤔 NO CHANCE still not there 😡 Come on Sonos you’re trying your users too much!!

Per the Sonos Website, the plan is to restore this feature (and others) mid June.  If I was in charge, there would be several Product Managers TERMINATED!  This update is AFU!!

Thanks I hadn’t seen that - however that’s a month away and TOO long and I agree with you with the product managers and it doesn’t take a month to restore a sleep timer!!!

Thanks for the heads up @Rvivar. There was an update to the sonos app just now, but still no alarm settings anywhere to be found sadly, even after a few restarts.

Instead the “Groups” feature has now turned grey/disabled so I can’t use that anymore - so if anything the app just got even more broken 😓 This is sooo way beyond ridiculous by now

Amazing, I can now set my alarms! ⏰ Thanks a lot, the system update of all my speakers did the trick. So far so good, still missing a lot of features but at least it’s not all taking months to bring back

I relied on the sleep timer EVERY NIGHT. I cannot fathom WHY they would remove it. I hate this update. I can’t roll back. I was almost ready to sell my equipment after this lame “go backward” update. SONOS PLEASE RESTORE WHAT YOU REMOVED.
