Or download the desktop app, to set your alarms for the while it takes Sonos to fix this mistake on the mobile app. All change is hard, also for big companies..

They should remove all the company perks from the CEO and anyone involved in this software release. No corporate cars, desk chairs, phones, etc. Tell the employees we hope to reintroduce these items back in the future. It took courage for us to remove them and they should understand… See how they like it.

Congratulations Sonos, you just released your equivalent of Windows ME or Windows Vista…. Please regress/roll back to something that works for your users….

I agree this is a retrograde step that needs correcting as soon as possible - I had to use YouTube music on my mobile for my ‘sleep sounds’ - not great that a ‘key’ feature for some users hasn’t been verified during the design changes - and there was no notification of this change being made.  In terms of software design and development this is a major miss!

Unbelievable that a company known for its high-end audio hardware seems happy to ruin the experience by releasing broken software.

I am using the Android app - after the update it randomly reports that it can’t find my Sonos system. This on top of the known issues with missing alarms, missing sleep timer, no searching or album art on music server tracks.

I feel most sorry for someone who has just spent £££’s/$$$’s on a Sonos system, only to install the app and find it doesn’t work properly.

What were Sonos thinking, replacing the previous version (which at least worked OK for most people) with a buggy half-finished beta release! And they have the nerve to trumpet on their website that the app is the ‘best ever’ ???

Please treat your customers with some respect - pull the app until it’s been tested and is working properly with all features restored.

Unbelievable... I think the new version of the Android app looks great, but it is close to useless for me without sleep timer, alarm and music library search. I found an apk with the old version, if possible, I would like to be notified when the new app has alle the features I need 😊

The Sonos brand will surely take a big hit with the * this little stunt will start. It could have been avoided by just allowing both versions of the app.

I read that these email are all ignored. If they are used as feedback, we might get a template response saying “thanks.”  
 

Mods, am I correct? If so, what’s another good way to get through to the leadership team?

No desktop app for MAC OS through the App Store … hard to find at SONOS.COM … had to do a general (DuckDuckGo) search for Sonos app for MAC OS.
