update so slow! please just bring the old back

I can’t believe with the technology out there the upgrade is worse than what it was. Skipping a song or adjusting the volume takes 30 seconds and we have a great WiFi connection. Can you please fix asap? It’s terrible

song on Sonos Radio

We heard a song last Sunday with these words in the lyrics:  “let’s grab a six and head to the lake”.  Anyone know what the name/artist of this song is?

MixCloud

I know you guys have a lot of -ish going on with the new app release and I have to tell you is has jacked up my summer music  vibe.  I frequently listen to Mix Cloud through the Sonos app.  Since the new app release music starts playing randomly.  I can click on a music choice and music will start playing from a previous selection.  It does not respond.  I also cannot see my playlists or favorites.  Is there anything I can do for the Mix Cloud app to work in the new Sonos app?  It was working great a couple of weeks ago and now it is a hot mess.  I am very frustrated and am looking for any help before I move on to other solutions away from Sonos. It would also be nice if I could arrange my services in the order in which I see fit.  For some reason, the two I use the most (Spotify and MixCloud) are at the very end.  I did select MixCloud as my preferred service but it still leaves my other most frequently used service at the end.

The new app

Just want to say that the new app is absolutely the worst app update in the history of app updates. What a joke. If the goal is to lose customers - great job! If the goal is to keep customers - bring back the old app. It worked just fine. Why ruin it???

New app killed SiriusXM connection

I just updated to your new app and it broke my connection to our SiriusXM account.  I went through the reauthorization process for the SXM account and I got a thumbs up from them saying that I could play SXM on my Sonos.  However, when I go back to the Sonos app, it says that the reauthorization has failed and I cannot play SXM on my devices anymore.  Everything was working fine yesterday, but doesn’t work today.Total crap on your App’s quality control team!! This code should never have been released.  Roll back to the old app as you can see tons of people are having problems with the new App.

Sonos new app missing most features that were available in prior app version

Sonos new app missing most features that were available in prior app versionYou released a buggy new app version, removing crucial features and rendering it useless, even breaking my Sonos System. Despite promises of better ultimate listening experience, you're only planning to reintroduce these features later as if they're new and per your support staff this was actually planned to remove features and provide them back with later updates. This decision is inexcusable. Let me know when my Sonos system will work again because your new app is useless.  How did you decide what features are important enough to bring back in the updates in your new Sonos app.  Just curious which ones you think are important to your customers.  I mean we pay for the products so maybe we should have had a voice.

queue

Hello. Before I updated my Sonos app last week, each song in my entire Apple Music library was able to be placed into my Sonos playing queue at once simply by pressing a prompt icon that selected for this option. I now seem to have lost this ability, and unless I singly manually place each of the ~7,000 songs into the queue (or create a new playlist and do the same), I cannot play my entire music library. (I shuffle my songs while I’m house cleaning .) Can anyone please help? Thank you in advance.

Good news! New app missing in "Available Updates".

I have what seems to be good news.  I'm running version 16.1 of the Sonos app and have had "App Updates" turned off on several Ipads since May 1st. I also have  "Update Automatically" in the "System Update" tab of the app turned off.  Today, I checked the App Store for updates and found a few apps to update, but the Sonos app wasn't one of them. If this continues, I can "update all" instead of selecting each app update separately.  Of course, I would spot check for Sonos first.Has anyone else experienced this, or was I just lucky today?

10,000 Track limit on Playlists

Is there a plan in the future for Sonos to increase the 10,000 track limit on playlists? In the past year or so when I have been getting on line support, they have told me that they are working on increasing that number. Has anyone else heard that desired improvement? Most people I know have more than 10,000 tracks in their playlists. Would be a nice feature if you could add specific playlists to sonos. But it seems like it is all or nothing.

WHEN ARE YOU GOING TO UPDATE TERRIBLE APP ????????????

OK, I am sure I’m like thousands of you, absolutely useless now with all of my Sonos speakers, since this garbage app won’t allow me to do ANYTHING!!!! When will you guys update this POS?!?!?!?!?! All I get is this repetitive cycle of “sign in an owner, and update” or something along those bulls**t lines!!!! I can’t believe Sonos would roll out a app that had so many bugs, then, then you make us sit on hold for now, going on 1.2 hours (still on hold listening to your super elevator music, since that the only place i can actually hear music), after I called right when you customer service lines opened this morning, and it said current hold time was 15 minutes- just terrible customer service. So when is this going to be fixed, or am I going to have to sell all 8 speakers and go back to Bose or some other company that can actually make a realistic fix with their app to truly help support their customers!?!?!!?

Help - How to get Sonos to provide a shipping label for a product return

I purchased a refurbished Sonos One SL directly from Sonos. The new speaker arrived on 5/3, but I was not able to connect the speaker to my Sonos system. I called Sonos support the same day and worked with a technician to determine that the “infinity button” was not working and the speaker was defective and needed to be replaced. The technician was not able to generate a return request because of “system problems” but he assured me I would hear back from the “Return team” within 24-48 hours. Since then, I have contacted support twice more and both time I was told that my case had been escalated and I would hear from the “Return team” in 24-48 hours and that there was nothing else the technical support team could do to assist me.  Unfortunately, I have not received any instructions on how to return the defective speaker and have invested 5-10 hours waiting on hold, talking with support, etc. I find it strange that a premium brand like Sonos is unable to handle a routine task like proces

new app

Simple question. The new app seems to have lost so much functionality and is no longer intuitive. I did not consider myself in the backwaters regarding IT and digital and I am an avid Sonos user. However, I cannot believe that this was released with so many challenges still to be worked through. Is there to be further work done on this to simplify its use.
