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.

If you use an iPhone SE with a smaller screen, you can’t use the new web app because the screen size is “unsupported”.

The iOS apps appear to be OK but for now the web app - whilst being probably a good idea in general (and replaces things like sonos-web quite nicely with an in house solution) has a lot of features and work needed before it can replace the Windows and macOS apps

Where are my playlists in the new S2 app?

The new iOS app and the web app look mostly very good. Early days but I have noticed that when you go into Sonos Favourites - Playlists - View All and select a playlist to look at its contents, when you go back to Playlists it takes you right back to the top instead of intuitively keeping you where you were - which is a real pain if you have a long list of playlists. 

(For example, I call each of my Christmas Playlists “Yuletide xxxxx” so that they all remain grouped together at the bottom as I don’t need them the rest of the year. If I scroll down the playlists and go into a Yuletide one, then go out again, I am returned to the top!!).

Maybe it was always like this? Either way, it could certainly do with a tweak when the various amends are actioned…

ALSO - when will we get the chance to Categorise our playlists under our own headings (e.g. “Coffee”, “Party”, “Chill”, “Christmas”) instead of one long continuous list?! I’ve been asking for this for years...

Also under Favorites. It just took some for them to appear...

I found a strange bug. When I’m playing an album and switch to a new track on another album in my music library, the app thinks I’m still choosing songs from the first album. The strange thing is this only seems to happen when I choose an album with a special character in the album title like a forward slash or colon.

I seem to be missing the Trueplay toggle for my Arc, Move and Roam. Used to be under settings and sound for each device but can't seem to locate it now after the update.
