Question

Revert App on App Store?

I just got screwed for tomorrow. I use the Sonos speaker in my room as my alarm with my phone to control, and once I updated to the new app, that was the end of that. No ability to add, edit or adjust alarms from the new phone app. I do not have a desktop app which is support’s idea of a workaround for releasing an unfinished app with no way to revert the old app..? The workaround should be to revert and wait till the app has the same or better functionality. If I had the option to revert to the old app on the App Store this would not have been an issue.  Please let us all go back until this app has parity with the old app (at least!).

I agree as well, why would you release an app that’s incomplete? Glad there not making cars, Next years model may only have 3 wheels!

The support have reported back saying these issues are being addressed in the coming weeks……

But why launch the app incomplete…..beggers my belief…...

Is there even a desktop-app for Linux?

I’m screwed tomorrow as well, as I can’t deactivate my alarm on this public holiday and will be awakened at the usual time, 5:30, just because they were too stupid to think properly about what’s needed.

This is an extreme heavy bug, a complete showstopper, that should make an immediate return to the old app unavoidable, or an immediate bug-fix, but lasting longer then 24 hours is out of discussion.

Because it is needed for the new headphones about to be released, and they ran out of time.

I love how most of these companies develop basically a web portal app in an environment that has a gajillion Mbps internet connection.  They are laggy, slow and often frustratingly unusable in a real-word environment.  Most reload completely and do not store images, etc., in a viable cache, so you have to sit an wait for everything to update.  Pet Peeve.

This paradigm is being used more and more (basically SaaS), because it cuts down on development. Effort goes into developing APIs instead of an actual native app.
