updated app

How could Sonos have released such a disgracefully flawed update? Or is this an undiagnosed case of corporate suicide?

    Here’s the answer from Sonos’ ama today by @tuckerseverson as you can imagine this didn’t get a welcome response 

    “An app is never finished!

    It's probably a good idea to give you some background. This is a new app - we started from an empty project file. As the project progressed, we stopped investing our time in the old app code. Over time we "cross-faded" our engineering attention into the new app. We need to make the new app be the app going forward so we stop splitting our attention.

    We decided that now is the moment to bring you the new app. This is the beginning, and we will be continually iterating going forward. As I said - an app is never finished.”

    It looks like the boost support has vanished too !!! My system is no longer seeing the boost.Which means the whole reason I choose the sonos (a seperate WiFi system, is now gone)

    It would appear to be compancide (yes ! I just made that up !! Company suicide ) that or it’s got to be commercial espionage as I can’t understand how any tech company could seriously release this pile of s@&t!!!! I used to test software (network management stuff) and even Windoze exploder in its heyday wasn’t this bad.

    Think maybe customers will be iterating away from sonos!!! The only thing I’m going to ‘iterate’ is trying to get the old app back and then turning off updates and muting their notifications. New app makes my system unusable and not fit for purpose.
