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.

The new web app doesn’t fit on the screen properly. Either the top is cut off, or the bottom. 
 

 

It’s a web page, they are meant to scroll when the content overflows the area, there are tons of different screen sizes, so it will never fit perfectly on every monitor. It fits horizontally thankfully, so no scrolling side-to-side. Smaller icons would help with vertical scrolling. 

Bring back the old Sonos app. It was clunky, but it actually worked!

I have 4 Sonos units.  The new App works fine from my iPhone.  I have tried both iPad Apps on my new iPad and all I get a a message saying can’t find  Sonos on my WiFi.  I can see all 4 of my Sonos speakers are connected to my WiFi.

I have rebooted the world and reinstalled the App.  I have been on hold for 34 minutes -- the system said 5 minutes for help.

Sorry but that’s not correct. The content on the page does scroll but the play bar at the bottom is supposed to be fixed to the bottom of the screen, easy to do with css, but looks like the calculations are wrong in this case. It’s still fixed to the bottom of the screen but outside the actual screen dimensions and can’t be scrolled in to view.

WOT NO ADD TO QUEUE??

This update on the new app seems to suggest that this all-new version 80.0 of the app has removed ‘Add to queue’ functionality:

https://support.sonos.com/en-gb/article/add-tracks-to-the-queue

Surely that can’t be true?

Something as basic and fundamental as being able to queue up a load of music has now been removed? 

The only option I can see is ‘Replace queue’ which isn’t very helpful if you’re in the middle of listening to something and want to pre-load what comes next.

Abysmal, unnecessary update.

LOL it’s gone. Don’t worry it’ll come back and maybe it will work.

My Sonos Web App desktop saved shortcut always opens with the browser toolbar auto-hidden, so I see the ‘floating’ mini-player here on my iPad…

So perhaps try hiding that toolbar and save the shortcut and see if that perhaps resolves the issue for you @jay house.

Why on earth would you ever think that @castalla? - I’m missing the exact same features as the next person here. Here’s the screen where the ‘play next’ - ‘add to end of queue’ etc, are not yet in the App.

If you look close you’ll see my Home Screen display in the background…

 


And here’s the screenshot from Sonos.com that shows what we’re ALL missing…

 

So no (sadly) there’s no special enhanced Sonos App here… but hopefully such an App is coming soon for every Sonos user.🤞

@castalla,
This is a screenshot from my iPad Sonos App, you can maybe use as a comparison too. Taken moments ago (UK time).
