I am with all others that vented their dislike of the latest update(s), yet I am more worried looking into the WHY of this…

imho: The write off of so many functions and features can only be to soon re-introduce them as 'new services' for an extra cost!!!

Why else would any sane company otherwise create such chaos in a good working service?

The heading you gave this topic suggests that what you are saying is fact , but there is no evidence of this. 

Features that have been slated for reintroduction (by a free upgrade) within the next 1-4 weeks (see below) will broadly bring the new app into parity with the old app feature wise.

So what features , in your honest opinion, do you believe Sonos will then start charging for ?

 

Coming soon

To sell headphones. They didn’t care that it affected owners negatively or at least wanted headphones more.
