The new Sonos Mobile App & Web App

This updated app has rendered my system almost useless. All the albums and playlists I had setup no longer exist in it. The new search is terrible and if I go to the effort os trawling through my music library and add an album as a favourite the it still doesn't show up anywhere. In fact this update is mind-bogglingly bad. The only thing that's saved me from total disaster is that I also have the app on my tablet and I managed to get to turn off automatic updates before the damage was done.

The arrogance of Sonos is breathtaking. If they were so confident they should have given the app a new version, then glitches could have been ironed out and using the previous version would be easy.

So now I'm looking for alternatives,  does anyone know of any?

Is anyone else having trouble authorizing Apple Music on the new app?

Closest real world alternative is Apple's homepods but limited when it comes to sound bars, wet room applications, biggest speakers, etc. 

After the frustration from yesterday I see only practical way to go is huge press from the community on all public channels - here, redit, other forums, participating in the so called Sonos events not letting them deny they didn't know there was a problem with app and overall experience, putting YouTube channels and media sponsored in any way by Sonos on ground. After investing tons of money no-one will start to sell it just like that. And as hardware there still ok so let us navigate them in their own mess with proper and firm customer feedback!

p.s. sleeptimer is what upset me right away after the update. They cannot tell me that when I feel I'm falling asleep a should get up of the bed going to other room with pc to set it. Amateurish to “forget” the sleep timer, twice more amateurish to give such response in official support. I fund my workaround last night using Home Assistant and HomeKit and now is even better with one press in my Apple's Home up all is set but this not the way and this not what ppl paying to Sonos after all. 

p.s.2 Sonos, crisis management at your end is even worse than newly released up. Think about is as it will be crucial part of your business the way you're heading to.

I am having trouble with Amazon music. Even after authorising the service many times over, it still does not work on the new app!

There’s a lot of fire and brimstone on here, but I actually disagree.  I think the underlying design is solid, with a few rough edges, but it is overall more attractive and easier to use.

Of course there are many elements missing.  I’ve mentioned elsewhere that there are clues that this is due to the app being released too early / rushed, which of course is inexcusable, as opposed to those elements being actively removed altogether.  I’m not defending it — I just think there is good work to build on here, the fundamentals are good — but the product is unfinished.  I don’t know why it was released in this state, but as long as there is momentum in putting things right, I’m prepared to wait and see. 

Same here with Amazon Music @SarahN - I’m guessing that the engineers are still perhaps working on a few things behind the scenes at the moment.
