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

Attention, je découvre que les alarmes sont liées aux enceintes… Je l’utilise sur ma Play1, et ce matin sur ma roam, l’onglet Alarme avait disparu… Une fois la roam mise à jour, elle est revenue ! Pas très logique à mon sens… Enfin.. l’essentiel est que l’alarme soit revenue !

I have updated both my phone and PC and still no alarm settings.  But… I found my old phone that still has the “old” version App installed and I now have a Sonos App that works!

I'm so disappointed that the sleep timer is not on the new app. I guess I won't be getting lulled to sleep anymore. [Insert sad face here]

I have the option to set alarms - but they don’t work. When I turn on the alarm in the app and press “save”, it doesn’t actually save it.

Let me add my voice to this

Wake up having had the Sonos Ap updated at night (probably like most of us set to automatically update as the number of updates is impossible to keep up with now)

Can’t use the app as the interface has changed, can’t find anything and asked ot spend time setting stuff up all while trying to turn my alarm off and being unable to do so

Why would this get rolled out

Thankfully as someone pointed out you can get to it from the Sonos App on your desktop (can’t speak to windows but this worked for Apple Sonos App). It also required a system update (despite the fact I checked in the iPhone app and it said my system was up to date??)

I was able ot get to alarms and at least turn them off - a sub-optimal outcome from a utility that I like many others use all the time

Disappointed!!!!!!

Shattered that the two features I use every morning and every night, being the Alarms and Sleep timer, have suddenly without notice or consultation, been discontinued. 
I now have to buy some type of unit to replace Sonos in my bedrooms so I can wake up to go to work and listen to my music at night as I go off to sleep. 
why would such a great company do this. 
I don’t understand these decisions at times.

They are back for most people. Have you checked in Settings>Manage. It should appear there if you’ve updated your app AND firmware.

Thanks for the rapid response Bumper. 
I still can’t seem to find the sleep timer, however as a result of your advise, I have found the alarms. 
Is there any chance you could point me in the right direction for the sleep timer? 
Thanks very much.
