The New Sonos App and Future Feature Updates

The latest on the Sonos App

 

Update: May 8, 2025

 

See below for a run down of what's changed. If you'd like a look at what has changed over the last few months, check out our App Release Notes here, as well as our System (Player) Release Notes here.

This update was deployed in a Phased Rollout, this means that you may (or may not) get the update pushed to your system. Some iOS users have sidestepped this in the past, by going directly to the App Store and updating from there. If you still do not see the update, try refreshing the App Store by pulling down (as if you were refreshing a page) on the Account page that shows all your pending app updates.

Android users - my condolences, you will have to wait it out until it's pushed to your Play Store account.

Not sure what point of Sonos is anymore tbh. Their lack of response to Sonos Ace volume issue is a huge red flag to me. They either don’t care or can’t fix such a simple thing. I’m about to offload my entire Sonos setup. Samsung Q990F costs significantly less than Sonos setup and is rated higher than Arc Ultra on rtings. It also has 4k120 VRR Dolby Vision HDMI passthrough, Dolby Atmos, DTS:X, and Eclipsa Audio support. And supports Google Home, which Sonos bafflingly dropped support for. Not sure how Sonos can compete with this.

Thank you Sonos!
 

At last my NAS library is no longer limited to 100 entries, I can now see my whole library on the iPhone/ipad app and there were a few artists that had more than 100 lines all present and correct.

 

All is forgiven.
