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.

Sonos released a message (although not seen it here?) that they were being courageous and you sometimes need to take steps back to move forward. How more condescending can they get?

The new app mmmmh there not so much changed and its not really stable. I have my era 300 in a surround group with the arc and sub. I would like a second group to set my era 300 as a stereo pair

Got this message yesterday on my SONOS S2 App. It is basically saying, that support for local music libraries hosted on NAS or PC using SMB1 or http for access inside a private network will end in a couple of month. This is not restricted to the NEW Sonos app!

Please can someone tell me what I’m doing wrong because even though I believe I’ve turned off auto updates, both my iPad Pro and now one of my Android phones have been infected with this mess of a version.

I turned off auto updates in the app and also unchecked the option to allow auto update in the google playstore but this morning I now find that my main Android phone has this new version.

I daren’t turn on the other phones in case they auto update and I’m left with a system that is totally unfit for purpose for my needs.

 

On the Android devices you can uninstall the new version and download the last version from March from an apk mirror site and install that

This has been in for a week or so. It's saying support for less secure SMBv1 is being removed. It doesn't acknowledge though that there is a bug in the current version whereby some users need to enable it for Sonos to re-index.  The left arm has no clue what the right arm is doing.

Many on Support had no clue the new App had even been released.

SMB1 I can kind of understand - it’s extremely old and massively insecure. The HTTP one not sure - maybe it doesn’t use HTTPS. Either way, Sonos is going out of its way to p*ss off its loyal long-time users.

SONOS please listen to us - you really should come out and say you f*cked up and give all users a way back to the old app version - this new version is in no way ready for prople to use as even basic features are missing.

Don’t be stubborn on this - just come clean and roll it back - you are loosing all trust and credibility with your loyal costumers. Own you mistake!

I like the new design philosophy but make it a seperate download for people to choose and use if they want or need it (for new products?). It makes for a nice design preview… !
