New Sonos Update (APPALLING, TERRIBLE, DISASTROUS)
SONOS WHY!!
How have they released a long awaited update, and somehow managed to downgrade the whole system??
I will name a few of the features that were available on the previous app, that have now been taken away: Alarm, add a song to the que, add a song to the end of the que, rearrange the tracks that are currently playing, remove a track from the que, SLEEP TIMER
These are some of the major notices that I have experiences. Why why why??? These features were the pinnacle for me using the whole Sonos system. My whole routine has to be changed now, I can't even sleep whilst my sound system is on, because I have to turn the music off manually, which is SO inconvenient, I don't mean to sound like your typical Karen, but cmon I can't be the only experiencing these issues :(
Whilst typing this message I checked for an update on the app, and there was one available, and now miraculously the alarm feature has popped up, and I definitely know it wasn't there before, so this update must've added the feature back.
For anyone wondering, my version is update is: 80.00.05-release+20240510.78d060b
And to find the alarm setting...
> Settings > Manage (next to 'Your System') > Alarms (under 'About My System') and Bob's your uncle! Should be there, well it was for me, just make sure you are on the version I labelled above.
Anyhow, Sonos Support, I hope someone from your internal team gets back to me, am not just saying this, but many of your users will leave for other systems, you're supposed to be the 'designer' of the sound world, and your system updates are absolutely garbage, please for the love of God bring these features back.
In regards to the actual UI of the app, does feel a lot smoother, but could also be updated, I feel Sonos has released this update way way way too soon, change your UI developers, or whichever manager authorised the release of this update, appalling work Sonos, so very disappointed, I currently own two Sonos Arcs, and was on my way to purchase the surround sound package, for both my living room and front room, but now I am reconsidering, and maybe considering finding a new system that's not Sonos, cus this is appalling.
