Overall, the new Sonos app seems to be an improvement over the previous version. But I am disappointed that many useful features from the previous app weren’t included. So here is my wishlist for the new Sonos app:

Bring back the shortcut to the EQ settings on the Now Playing screen.
Bring back the “HD” and “Hi-Res” icons on the Now Playing screen when streaming lossless or hi-res lossless music from your local music library.
Bring back the number indicator on the volume slider on the Now Playing screen.
Under About My System, show what audio format is playing after “Audio In:” while playing TV audio.
Bring back the alphabetical search/quick scroll feature for local music libraries.
Include local music libraries in the Search feature.
When viewing albums from a specific artist, allow the option to switch from list view to grid view.

What other features would you like to see brought back or added?

The whole concept of the “Queue” seems to be gone. This was one of the main featurese that I appreciated the most when I bought my first Sonos (at that time controlled with the SONOS CR200 remote).

Adding tracks to the current Queue is gone. I can only replace the whole Queue now.

I want to be able to add songs “To the end of the Queue”, “After the current song / play next”, “Save the Queue” and delete the Queue. I also want the “autosave queue” feature back.

I use this feature a lot - when listeting alone but along with friends that allow anybody to add a song (without interupting the current song of course).

I’m very disapointed and in fact quite upset! Are you not using your own product?

All what OP says, but for me especially: I really need the number indicator together with the volume slider to have a precise volume level (like 15%). Right now it’s just guessing. Please bring it back!

This app “update" is more of a downgrade, as it seems to have removed most of the features I use most. Alarms are critical; need to be able to add, remove, and change those. Gone. I normally update my music library weekly; can't do that anymore. Can't easily adjust volume on grouped speakers. Can't mute speakers; what? Love combining queues, a fundamental Sonos thing once; can't do that. Thank God I was able to stop the update on my phone; hope I can keep that one til the new one actually functions. Would love if I could revert it on my tablet, too.

Agree with all of these “wish-list” items, but especially including local libraries in the search function. My 7-room Sonos system is virtually unusable without it, as I mostly play music from the 19,000 tracks stored on my NAS drive. Scrolling through those one screen at a time is somewhat time-consuming! 😢
