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.

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

Is it just me or the app keeps crashing after the update. I needed to remove the app and download it again. I just saw there was a new small update so I updated the app. It crashed again so I needed to remove the app and download it all over again.

It happens both on my iPhone 13 Pro and iPad Mini 6

I think they pushed the beta version not production. All the bugs are intact.

Any idea how to fix this?

You need to wait until the software's out of Beta. May work then.

As I have said in my previous posts this is such a radical change to the function of the Sonos system that the opportunity to stay at S2 level should be offered and this App becomes S3.

Remember were you came from Sonos - a system that played music (very well) from a local library of ripped (owned) music with a core of users who spent a lot of money on multiple speaker systems - not just a Roam, Move or a set of headphones.

I have a friend who has just bought a ARC, SUB, ERA 200 X2 and an ERA 100. I have advised him to put his Retailer on notice to expect the whole lot back for a refund if this App situation is not rectified.

To anyone reading this DO NOT UPDATE! My system is virtually unusable now. Most of the music on my network drive is NOT recognised, ALL MY PLAYLISTS ARE GONE, alarm can’t be set and - very annoying - the volume control no longer has numbers so it’s impossible to choose the exact volume you want or need. How could Sonos release this update without consulting loyal customers? Totally unacceptable and shocking. I’ve long since wanted to sell my Sonos speakers - having been a customer for 20 years with regular new purchases - but today is the day: eBay awaits.

I have a Ray soundbar and I can’t find any way of turning Night Mode or Speech enhancement on or off? Or is it just hard to find?

Click top left of the home screen, then select the room that the Ray is assigned to, so that room is full screen. Play some TV content and you’ll see Night Sound, Mute, and Speech Enhancement buttons on that screen.

Thank you! Although I wish they were in the settings section like they used to be.

I’m fairly sure Night Mode and Speech Enhancement were always buttons on the Now Playing screen, showing the TV icon. I could only ever toggle them on and off via that screen.
