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.

Why no warning that many basic features such as queue editing have been removed? Any way of downgrading to previous app? This is very much unusable at the moment!

No one would use it. The new product (headphones or Roam 2)) is probably tied to the app, + earnings and executive bonuses prob depend on it launching on time, whether the app is missing features or not.

This update should be withdrawn. It is clearly not fit for purpose. Basic things like being able to manage the queue is the reason for having something that can access multiple services. Weirdly lazy.

I agree 100%. How can this have been tested? The most basic, fundamental operations do not work.

hoping I won’t get forced into updating in the near future as all the issues reported here are not good

@skullc   After I made the huge of mistake updating my iPhone app and realizing how much was missing I quickly messaged my husband and all my friends and family members who have Sonos systems to turn off auto update immediately until these issues were addressed by Sonos.

How did this allow THREE options to adjust volume in one panel?

1- the bar at the bottom

2- the bar at the bottom of the side pane

3- the button next to the pause button

 

yet we have

  • no way to add items to the queue
  • no way to shuffle items around in the queue
  • no way to remove items from the queue
  • no way to see the queue without having to follow it to the now playing track
  • a click button over the album art which loads a placeholder to a panel which does basically nothing
  • no dark/light mode options

Well, my app just upgraded today and I see Sonos has destroyed the app.  Group volume doesn’t even work.  Some of rooms increase while others don’t.  What happened, did we even beta test this horrible app?
