So after foolishly updating (downgrading) the app to the new ‘app’ on my IOS products I lost all ability to connect to my Sonos system and music library. Thankfully it still worked from the PC and and an old iPad with the S2 app. I tried to play some of my music from this method tonight andaccess has now been denied! It’s one kick in the n**s after another from this company, seriously WTF are you doing to your customers? How do i resolve this s*** show?

OK so it’s been a while and the play.sonos.com has been up for some time.Day one I noticed that grouping/ungrouping speakers did not update the UI.Reproduce:play.sonos.com, login, play music on speaker Aclick speaker icon for speaker A, speakers menu pops up, choose speaker Bmusic starts playing on speaker B and is shown in speakers menuclick x, the right speakers menu isn’t updated. Here’s a video: https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/tlqxvocno1p5okfo7y934/sonos-web-bug.mp4?rlkey=v9n7fim77vf4tc3imcro3z5jr&st=jasaqgbd&dl=0 I have tried Chrome on Windows 11 and Firefox on Ubuntu.

Having downloaded the new update (totally messed things up) and now automatically updating the hardware, the app has lost my Sub, Arc, beam, era 300 and play ones being used as surround sounds and my move speakers. In fact since the hardware update the only thing this new app can find is my stand alone play ones. add to that the fact the new app seems to have lost all ability to recognise when the tv is playing through them and all the tv controls (night time and tv speech enhance) plus all The abilities to change surrounds , sub and height audio levels…etc and it’s all a bit of a massive c*** up. everything worked fine until these new updates. What’s going on and when will All these functions be fixed? Moderator Note: Modified in accordance with the Community Code of Conduct. 

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 

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?

New App is so laggy.. cannot add songs to a queue- sound adjustment is just so bad - big delay - why change the app - I have not updated my app on my other system because of all the issues - have also lost a SoundCloud playlist altogether- keep getting an error message when trying to connect to it  - needs sorting it sooner rather than later!

I can only play through Sonos.  Is it possible to play  directly via the Apple Music app?

Hi I’m trying to get some technical support and have been on hold over 1hr. Is this normal?

After updating roam will not connect 

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.

Sonos’s original and primary selling point was ability to stream all your own music wirelessly throughout your devices and speakers.  This app update has ENTIRELY rejected that and the customers who came to Sonos for that.Years worth of playlists to my music library DELETED!  That is effed up.  Those curated playlists took a lot of effort and time.   Cannot create and edit playlists as a collection of songs from different albums/artists Search DOES NOT work for your music library.  It only works with existing services.  How do I find a song among 20000 without searching? Queue only works with services.  Can no longer edit it I used alarms extensively to automatically turn on stations in different rooms at different times.  GONEAll of this points to Sonos deliberately trying to force users into only using streaming services and demoting and in some cases eliminating use of your own library.Please allow reverting to the old app and give me back my frickin stuff!I have no use for Sonos pr

Who approved this mess of updated release. Can’t wait to explain my wife how to use the new release. Where is the missing support for blind users. What a s***hole Moderator Note: Modified in accordance with the Community Code of Conduct.

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???

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.

Nicht einmal das Hilfe Forum funktioniert. SONOS hat sich selbst beerdigt. Glückwunsch Moderator Note - Translation by Google: Not even the help forum works. SONOS has buried itself. congratulations

Looking for a CD player.Not to sure about the Brennan one even tho it appears to connect straight to SonosLike the look of Dennon but it has the HEOS system. Will Sonos connect to this ?Thanks 

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. 

When using the updated app I can no longer find the “play” or “shuffle” feature when using the 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. 

Can we have the old app back please.?It was fine as it was. I do not care for this version. I can not add songs into my playlist. I am not happy.  

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?

The app is awful and unintuitive. I've lost the connection my my music stored on My Cloud Home' any ideas how to get it back. Old app was fine. New app is a piece of cr£p!

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.

I want to downgrade immediately from this rubbish app. It makes my complete system useless. how can we downgrade please!!!

New app is crap ! Why change something that is working? Iv had nothing but problems since I downloaded loaded it ! come on Sonos get your act together, sort it out !Mick R😡😡😡
