The new Sonos Mobile App & Web App

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 iOS app is, to be polite, clumsy.  But my question is about the desktop app - is that not being updated?  Or is that in the throes of being phased out in favor of a web-based app?

The Web App was launched yesterday too. It’s for use with Desktop devices PC/Mac. 

And produces a nice black internal server error screen (see above) 😁

It’s working fine here…@castalla. Just logged in seconds ago:

It worked once for me then consistently produces the internal server error.

Thanks.

I was just on the phone to my Son and the Web App/App are each working for him too at his home. My wife can get the Web App up on her iPad (Safari Browser) aswell. Maybe it’s something local to you.

New Release, awful

Please advise how to roll back

Withdraw this new release until it is actually tested.

As one of your beta tester, not on this one, I cannot believe this has been tested by anyone

Thank you

Which is fine but we’re all quite capable turning it on if we want. Shouldn’t automatically be asked to. I hate having Bluetooth and Location stuff on, so it’s just a peeve of mine 😀

But what if one doesn’t want to use a “web” app and prefers the existing Desktop app? Is it going to be phased out?

Has or will Sonos publicly address any of this chaos? Some sort of blog post or something acknowledging the problems and what plan (if any) is in the works to address them?

Can’t imagine how many support calls/emails/etc they are getting right now.

This new app is terrible! First, it cannot find my system. Then, looking at the screen, it is NOT intuitive at all. How can you have gone from an app that worked so well to this mess and feel good about it?
