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.

Ok - so you removed alarms. Its bad, but we will live with it. However, i now have an alarm i CANNOT TURN OFF, EDIT OR REMOVE. HELP!!!

Your help section says go to the MacOs App (we have no windows or android in the house). It says under the source selection there is an ‘alarm’ option. Well….look at the screeshot above, its the same as mine...THERE IS NO ALARM OPTION BUTTON.

 

So please….please…..how do I remove the alarm from going off everymorning short o just unplugging the (expensive) speaker now that schol holidays are coming up and we don’t need to be woken up at 6:30…

HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ok, the new app has gotten onto my phone. How do I do the following…

  1. Add a song to be played next in the queue
  2. Add a song to the end of the queue
  3. Remove a song from the queue
  4. Clear the queue

To add additional usage info, in the queue, I get no options at all to manage it (3 and 4) and when I use the ellipsis to add a track, all I get is Replace Queue (so not 1 and 2). So I seem to only be able to have 1 song queues built up on the fly, otherwise I have to add playlists I’ve already curated in my streaming service.

The fact I’m having to ask this is embarassing, both for myself and whoever designed this app. All I want to do is manage music to play, on a speaker, and this app has made it near impossible. 😒

I should have never downloaded the new app.  I only use Sonos for home theater and my surrounds don’t pair with the beam/sub.  Been on hold for the last hour with customer support.  Why did they change?

There was an update today that fixed partly of the combined search function on iPadOS. But it’s still gives me problem with the messages “something went wrong. Try again.

 

you still need to work more on that search.

I am a user in China, and here’s my concerns about the new Sonos app:

  1. Please let me change the order of music services. I have 3 frequently-used services, and I usually have to scroll to 2 of them when opening the new app. It can be much easier to use if I could change the sequence of music services.
  2. In the old S2 app, I have the option to see lyric (and sometimes translation included ) of the song I’m playing in Chinese music services like QQMusic and Netease Cloud Music. In the new app, the option is gone. Please add it back.
