The new Sonos Mobile App & Web App

The web-app is a joke! There is a noticeable delay for everything you do. Are they really sending all commands via their servers and not locally? Absolutely terrible decision.

Just noticed another problem, with the Sonos Roam. On the speaker page, it used to show the charge level of the Roam devices. That’s no longer there. I can tell that the Roam is on the charger, but not the percentage of the charge. There’s never been a way to tell this on the Roam itself. It was only available on the app. So now there’s no way to know if you’re at 90% charged or only 30%.

Does anyone know of an alternative to the Sonos app on ios? 
I need to access my library locally, (SMB or Subsonic equivalent)
I'm really disappointed with Sonos, how can they release such a disastrous app, they should have left the old version alongside the new one.

Please provide a way to go back to the old version ASAP. I use Sonos almost exclusively for my local library as it seems many people do and you have again (think bricking...) completely misunderstood your owners and people that have supported and invested in your products for decades. Congratulations on creating another media disaster for the company. I am sure the new app is trending on all platforms with angry users and people looking for alternate products. PLEASE LET US GO BACK to the old version until you sort this out.   

On initial examination (and limited play) I think that you’ve managed to turn something which was quite streamlined and simple into something which is cluttered and clumsy, and certainly initially does not work as well.

Too bad they didn’t just call this S3 and then let the old S2 and new S3 co-exist until they actually finish and test the new controller

Please allow the S2 app to return (can’t believe I would type such a thing) until you can get the kinks out of this version. Local library users have been screwed over - Sonos should have stated beforehand that there was going to be a pivot to streaming only and allowed us opportunities to figure out next steps. I literally bought my Era 100 for line-in as my 12th speaker and had to update app to get it working (a whole other rant). 

Also, no widgets!!!! Unbelievable. Truly.

As suspected.

A total car-crash.

It’s as if the devs just discovered the “swipe” capability and decided it needed to be in every direction at every given opportunity so that you can create layers of confusion in seconds.

There’s no way that I can see to reduce the size if icons etc so that you can see more than a couple of items at a time on all of the oversize rows, so it’s just endless swiping.

There are a ton of missing settings and functions, and if they aren’t missing then they have buried them in the most hard to find recess. e.g. why can’t a change the network channel any more so that I can avoid congestion from surround Wi-Fi networks.

Can no longer find any of the “line-in” settings to adjust?

Bugs all over the place. e.g. it randomly loses the time line from the playback so you can’t change the playback position.

The webapp is entirely redundant. The size of the queue list is a joke. When we are playing back the focus should be on the queue not on endless lists of services which I don’t need taking up the whole screen. Please for the love of god, you aren’t going to see this as a replacement for the Windows app! The Windows app might be old and tired looking, but at least it is easy to use.

The iOS app also seems to be using it’s own queue, whereas the web-app and the windows desktop app appear to be in sync?

This is not a case of people hating change. Change for the better, evolving, improving where need, and refining are all great. Change for the sake of it and making something worse is not such a good thing.

Maybe a simple toggle people can “swipe” (devs will love that!) which will enable “classic mode” where everything goes back to last week, would be great.

Was hoping to finally see the sonos controls along side the likes of spotify, plex, pocket cast, etc in the media section at the top of notification on android. That did t happen, but to make matters worse, they removed the half asz widget?!?!?!

The following things don’t work in the new Android app but did work in the old app:

• Alarms (setting, enabling, disabling, view)
• Sleep timer
• Play all / shuffle from a list of songs
• See the queue of songs next to the now playing screen
• probably many more

Why did an app get released that removed so many features? I paid over 1000 Euros for my Sonos systems and now at least three essential features have suddenly disappeared.

How can I go back to the previous version of the app where all features were present and worked as expected?
