Watch Peter Pee on the new app..

“This Beta be good” nailed it

edit here’s the link if you don’t know what a Peter Pee is and don’t want to risk the google search

I thought Peter Pee’s video was a fair review and at least ‘balanced’ and ‘constructive’, which is more than I can say for some one-sided posts online. 

I think his own thoughts ‘might’ be right too, right at the end of the video, where he gives a considered reason why the new App might have been released early, before it was finished. That in itself made me think that Sonos could have an incredible new product that they may be releasing in the near future and that it’s going to be supported by the new App only. We shall have to wait and see, in the coming weeks/months, if the new App is perhaps the first part of a much bigger plan by Sonos.

Anyhow, this was another similar balanced ‘written’ review that I stumbled on when browsing online, so I’ll just post that link here too…

This doesn't change the fact that so many people are having very negative experiences.

In what way? …only it’s quite difficult to respond to your post without any detail being provided. Have the reviews, linked above, not covered some points? If not, then perhaps you can elaborate on the issues you are referring to and maybe give some examples. At least that way Sonos can then perhaps begin to address whatever those negative experiences are.

I'm not sure more detail is required, there are so many issues and bugs being raised now. 

I honestly don't see Sonos’ stance on this release being tenable without an actual apology and getting the previous app reinstated, it's an incredible and unprecedented approach. I can't imagine how pissed off and demoralised the Dev team(s) are.

Regarding your specific link, it wants an App installing for me to read it so I won't be doing it.

Will watch the Peter Pee article in the morning…

I don’t get asked to install an App to read the article - it just opens in Safari web browser on my iPad, so that’s odd you’re seeing that? Also, I’m still not sure, personally speaking, which negative experiences that @Topbrick1 is referring to that are not covered by the reviews - if there are others, then that’s what I’m suggesting to detail here. Otherwise the reviews seem (to me) to cover what everyone else is saying about the new App(s).

@Topbrick1 mentioned that many people are having negative experiences, that's pretty indisputable surely so I don't know why you need elaboration. I certainly wouldn't expect them to detail them individually again and I don't understand why you are insisting their comments are related to issues not covered so far, they have simply made a general and accurate observation.

On the app thing, I don't know but it appears as though m$ want something..  Could be me though!

But the reviews above are each balanced (pretty much) @sjw and the negative experiences are mentioned - read his post again, it says …"This doesn't ‘change the fact’ that so many people are having very negative experiences”.
 

I’m just asking what negative experiences (that perhaps tip the balance) is @Topbrick1  referring too, that are not already mentioned in those reviews?
 

I think both reviews cover the negative experience already and if they don’t, then (s)he can perhaps add them here for the Sonos Staff to perhaps see.

OK, as I've said, I've not watched the article but I don't see how the post preclude the poster's comment that many users are having negative experiences.  There are so many bugs or issues being raised now it's almost impossible to know what's deliberately left out or a bug….

Is missing artwork or volume adjustment or adding new devices or App crashing or slow performance or missing/corrupt playlists mentioned in whatever you're referring to?
