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.

Got an email from Sonos entitled “Heads up” today - presumably they are releasing their new headphones on 21st May at 14.00 BST (in the UK). Clicking on the “Learn more” link doesn’t add much info, but leads to this page

Link page

Never mind the main content, a banner at the top of the page proclaims:

“The Sonos app is redesigned and better than ever. Get the latest update now.”

Seriously? The new app is the reason I’ll be boycotting their headphones!

Thank goodness for SonoPhone - not very pretty but at least it works!

SONOS: Great hardware, terrible software.

Is this App REALLY what Sonos is going with? I left BOSE for the crap response from that interface. Sold off ALL my BOSE speakers and spent ALOT of money to set up my house. I was SO happy, the app worked, all speakers responded. Now we have this new APP??????? It is the WORSE. Nothing works. My NAS path was removed. Can’t seem to add it back(saw a message on that will have to check it out). Seriously, this app offers NOTHING and does not even work to turn off ONE speaker. Come on SONOS for the prices paid for your systems this is horrendous.

The new mobile app disconnected all my devices and cannot reconnect now

Same thing here. I can no longer find my system. What guarantee do I have that if I waste an hour to reconfigure things will not break again in a few days. Shame on you Sonos. I was about to buy more products.

I wonder what the reviewers will say about the new app when they review the headphones.

If they choose to ignore it they will damage their credibility, if they say too much the may not receive free products from Sonos to review in the future. 

Given that on 21st May the app will still be missing important functionality I think that the would be foolish not to point this out.

“The Sonos app is redesigned and better than ever.” That joke is bad enough to have come out of a Christmas cracker!!!!!!!!

Hey guys, can you help? I am facing two major issues with new Sonos app. I have 11 zones / rooms and I can only play one song at a time. If I want to start playing another song simultaneously in another zone / room the first one is stopping (I am using Spotify). Secondly all my Sonos Playlists are gone. I have only Spotify Playlist available and Sonos? How to solve these issues? Best

Maybe it is possible to go back to the previous version of the app?

Need to fix the app. 
 

Alphabetical access to your music library is a critical function

 

search results should include music library

 

i I mean seriously - dropping that functionality is absurd and will lead me to another solution. Sonos was a really good product, let’s hope this isn’t some dastardly master plan, but rather just an inept rollout of new software

Well as you have taken away the alarm system? How do I cancel the alarms as still going off in the morning which is ok for now but once we go away could be a problem 🤔

I’m assuming you have perhaps been ‘out of town’. The Alarm features were put back in the Sonos App in the last App update.
