I have searched around with no luck. I am looking for a basic controller app user manual or tutorial - NOT the limited sub-topic-specific videos. I would like to just take the time to go through all the features of the app (ios in my case) at once.

One of the other posters on here (I believe John 😎 created an unofficial user guide.
You should be able to access it with this link.

Hi. That may still be of some use, but is a bit out of date after the 8.3 update
link doesnt work for me but it could be my work connection. Anyway, its strange no such thing exists - or even videos on most all topics. For example, i am trying to better understand how the queue process works. I will eventually do it by trial and error/hands on but I would rather just sit in my office and read it rather than having to be playing music through my house to learn it.
If you figure out the queue process please let us all know.

I second what John B says...

You finally work out what is going on and it...changes...

Most important thing to remember is that the ephemeral-or-persistent-by-default queue behaviour decision (ie. the big v7 change) isn't a default, it's left to individual play actions to implement as they see fit. Oh well, you learn by experience that the "Play Next" action is fine for a playing queue, but with yesterday's expired queue, it's a trap...

I tried the link and got.............
"This XML file does not appear to have any style information associated with it."

I too am struggling with the controller, and would love an up to date manual in PDF or whatever.
Sonos changed servers so old links generally don't work. This link has quite a lot of useful info on how to use the app, with further links to more detail. I hope that helps.
