The new Sonos Mobile App & Web App

Today we are introducing the most extensive app redesign ever, creating an unprecedented streaming experience that allows listeners to organize their favorite playlists, stations, albums and more from over 100 services on one customizable Home screen.

 

Home Screen

The new Home screen provides faster access to Sonos system controls with one easy swipe up, making tab to tab jumping a thing of the past. As a leader in sound experience that’s focused on creating a better way to listen, Sonos intentionally redesigned the app on a modern software platform for an easier, faster and better experience that can support more rapid innovation.

 

The reimagined app supports all existing S2 products and will be available globally through a software update for the S2 mobile app.

 

100+ streaming services, one Home screen

The redesigned Sonos app prioritizes a listening experience that’s human - allowing you to bring your true favorites front and center and giving you more control to make your streaming experience your own.

 

  • Get into your music (and off the app) faster: No need to tap between tabs — the new Home screen serves up all your favorite content and controls, all in one place. Quickly jump back into your recently played, browse libraries and recommendations from your preferred services, and fill your home with music and all the sounds you love.
  • Customize and curate: Enjoy unparalleled curation by designing your Home screen to reflect how you listen. Pin rows of your favorite content and services; then move, edit, or rearrange them to your liking.
  • Search every streaming library: Look for an artist, song, podcast, or audiobook across all your preferred streaming apps at once via an easy-to-use search bar that’s always available right on your Home screen.
  • Elevated system control: Swipe up from the bottom of your Home screen to seamlessly control your entire system and access a visual overview of what’s playing on each of your products, quickly group speakers, and dial in on the perfect volume from anywhere in the app. 

 

Accessible from any modern web browser, a brand new web app allows listeners the same seamless system control as the mobile app.

 

The new Web App

The Web App will be available alongside the redesigned mobile app on May 7, 2024.

      On my Android I uninstall version 80 and bring back version 16.1. Finally all is working like a charm.   

      But I lost my trust with Sonos. Looking for alternative. Bose could be a good one.

        This is NOT the way it’s supposed to go with Sonos. 

        Not like this

          This app doesn’t work.  Tried all the recommended ‘fixes’ and none have worked - now unable to use the sonos app with my speakers.  Also tried to use the S1 app and it also now doesn’t work.  This ‘upgrade’ should be pulled immediately and replaced with the previous version.  Until then, my speakers can’t be used it appears.  Not a good customer experience and no indication from Sonos when this is going to be fixed - very poor.  Sonos should be much better than this.

            So, we always use the alarm on Sonos. We had a very early alarm set (to get to airport for a flight) and now, with all Apple devices now updated automatically to new app, we have no ability to turn that alarm off.
             

            This ‘Brave’ update is feeling a bit badly thought through….

              OMG 😂 I’m not going to read all the comments, so someone might have mentioned this before:

               

              • What happened to sleep timer? I use it when I go to bed and don’t want to start my computer to start a sleep timer - Seriously???
              • I can’t use the search functionality to search in my music providers (Yousee) library - I get no results what so ever - Seriously???

              These are two VERY important features that doesn’t work as supposed to - how can that update be released?

                This update is HORRIBLE. I purchased the ultimate immersive set and was super excited for audio experience my friends told me about. Once I started playing around with the app, buyer’s regret began to set in. The app is not great, to put it in the most positive way. The user experience was just awful. The though that came to mind was, someone didn’t want to spend the time or money to get it right. After a few weeks, I learned to live with it. And then... this SH*T!

                 

                Every time I open the app, it says “no products found”. Close, re-open, repeat, home screen appears then disappear after 5 seconds. Or once you get it to work, in the middle of listening to your music, it again can’t find any systems. Ultimately, I have no control over the sound system I spent thousands of dollars on. I can’t even turn off the radio so I can watch TV.  In the few instances that it does work, one of the devices would show it’s NOT connected to the network, even though it’s actually producing sound. And the UI/UX...is still as confusing ASF!

                 

                You may have one of the best audio devices in the market, but it’s USELESS if your app is a piece of Sh! You need to fix this fast!  And in the meantime, give us instructions on how to revert back to the older version!

                  Just tried the web app and it works: https://play.sonos.com/  Interface is very old and integration with other services is poor but you can play music and select speakers.  Not ideal but better than having my speakers as valuable as bricks 🙄  Also tried the reinstall of the old version (S2) and it also doesn’t work for me.  Someone from tech support should be monitoring these discussions and providing suggestions (ongoing, not just once in awhile) - lots of users here but no Sonos team members - very poor.  If I treated my customers this way I wouldn’t have a business for very long….
