IOS vs Andoid app design of the new app UI

Keep comments on topic, no mentioning of bugs here

What the heck is a snack bar?  And, where does that serif font /typeface come from? 

Its a design component for Android, similar to a toast message but interactive although tbh its rarely used because its not as useful as the other stuff i mentioned, has anyone noticed the text alignment azwell, albums are left aligned were as artists are center aligned, items in a grid should all be aligned the same way.

look at these 2 screenshots one shows what i see (on android) when i long press on an artist or album, the other shows how sonos did it. Why does the layout need to take up that much space? this is used in multiple areas and its exactly the same it almost takes up the full screen. Is it the same on an ipad? surely its not. The other screenshot shows a better way to do it, thats called a bottom sheet.

and thats a system font btw

I’m  having a hard time following what you are saying as your serified font is distracting my brain 🤣 Also Apple Music on Android, didn’t know such a thing existed  TIL

if I get the gist of what you are saying, you think the bottom picture is not as good because it covers the screen? I agree with you but for me it’s because  the menu items on the other one  are  near the bottom and I can hit the function with my thumb one handed. While I guess this is the new context menu default in the app. I don’t think it’s an iOS thing, as other apps like Apple Music doesnt do it in iOS  

Another difference is that, at least for me, the android app (on various devices) fails to show Recently Played and Sonos Favorites after a few seconds (initially displays but then shows light gray boxes).  Strangely, no problem like this with the ios app on an iPad, so this seems like an app issue, nothing wrong with my system/network.  Sounds like Sonos prioritized ios.
