The new Sonos Mobile App & Web App

I rolled back my android app but have to leave my iPad app as the new one sadly. At least I have 1 that's more useful lol 

Did Sonos admin really shut down the ability to view 550 replies on the negative client experience of this update App? 

The reimagined app supports all existing S2 products and will be available globally through a software update for the S2 mobile app.

So where is my Sonos Boost ?

I’m trying (honest!) to live with the new mobile app. I can kinda-sorta get by on iOS. Android not so much.

My “Sonos Favorites” is a mix of local albums and streaming albums. On iOS those all of those work okay (and pick up album art). On Android the local albums are greyed-out: there is a placeholder with the correct name, but I cannot tap on the icon (and there is no album art). Anyone else seeing this? Workaround?

It will still be there even though it's not showing. Same thing happened to me but I worked out it was still operating as normal. Then when I rolled back my android app to the old app, it showed there as it should. 

Is there any way to selectively disable updates only for the Sonos app? 

i.e. allow all apps to auto-update except Sonos?

Yes, on Android. At least on my device. On Play Store, search for Sonos, then select it, click on the 3-dots and disable auto update

 

I believe the question was how to disable automatic updates for Sonos app only, not how to enable automatic updates for one app. If you can find this option, let us know.

This is for Sonos app only. All my other apps are on auto update.

Unless I’m missing something, I don’t see an option to disable auto updates for Sonos only. The only option is to enable auto updates for Sonos (as you see in your screenshot). I’m on Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra. I believe these settings are the same for any Android device.

Click on the three dots on the upper right

New version removed my ability to search or play anything from my local library on a NAS unit. Running SMBv3 so it's nothing to do with that. 

Also can't clear queues, can't edit queues.

Just a joke

Can only agree with all posts here. The update is a real disaster and makes the system literally unusable. So sad. I have been using Sonos for 18 years. In the beginning, I was really impressed and the updates really enhanced the system. But for approx 5 years ago there was a major update that was a step back in stability. But NOTHING compared to this release.

Luckily, I'm using Android and just rolled back using apk mirror. But how long will the old version work? Until they have fixed the new one? 

Bring back the android widget for the new update.

I agree with all the feedback regarding missing functionality etc. It’s not the missing functionality that is currently annoying me the most, it’s the lack of communication from Sonos. It wouldn’t be too difficult to respond to this community with “We hear the feedback provided and will be addressing concern X, Y & Z in the next 7 days”. Considering that boat has sailed due to the time elapsed from releasing this new version and now, at this point the honorable thing to do would be for Sonos to:

1. Release the previous working version of the controller app to both Google and Apple stores so we can essentially “roll back” to regain the missing functionality.
2. Issue an apology for all the issues caused and provide clear and concise timeline/roadmap for any functionality changes in future revisions of the controller app.
3. Review MVP/UAT processes for any future app revisions. This release has been nothing short of a disaster.

Ultimately this new app has turned all of our speakers from a fully fledged piece of equipment to something below a basic speaker with the features found on an iPod shuffle. If we wanted a speaker with iPod shuffle capabilities only, we wouldn’t have spent the extra money needed to purchase Sonos branded equipment.
