Brand new Sonos App reviewed

Ғылым және технология

How's your experience with the new Sonos App 80.0? Take the poll here! / @peterpee
May is going to be an exciting month. And the first week of May kicked off with a brand new Sonos app. I can see where the love is, and where the hate is. What's your opinion on this?
For me, it feels like a beta app. Like someone didn't add all the features before hitting the compile button. This feels like the original Sonos S2 app fiasco. But like the original S2 app, it will get better, and we will learn to love it.
But it has to get better. FAST. The heads up event happening soon won't wait for Sonos to fix all its bugs.

    I just don’t understand that someone at Sonos approved this app to be released to their consumers. They should know that it’s not ready right? It seems like that their software engineers did not meet the deadline of completing the product or maybe the original devs aren’t there anymore. Or are they building this app from scratch and just didn’t bother to check what features the previous versions had? Sonos users you’ve been warned. Don’t be fooled by the advertised new interface. In short- don’t update.

    Agree. I can’t create a playlist. Can’t even add to an existing one. Even their website instructions are referring to the old app so they haven’t even updated them ie., there is no “more…” button on the top RHC and no option to add to an existing playlist or start a new one. The only options are to save a song or replace queue 😮 I also can’t delete tracks. On the old app you just swept to left or right. That doesn’t work now either. Sonos should never have released this.

    Hi Peter, You are the absoluut wizard of wireless audio to us. I learnt very much from your video's. Because of your settings and technical support i was experimenting with some things. I love the Fives very much but i both a Sonos Era 300 set and they are fantastic in stereo and in surround sound. But then i thought about the next thing. The Sonos Five and the Sonos Era 300 are two different worlds and both fantastic. So i combined them in stereo. I made two groups. I placed the two Sonos Era in front 3.5 meters apart and the Sonos Fives next to them on the outside and I turned the Fives a little to the wall, left aswell on the right side of course. The results are amazing. The Sonos Era 300 are fantastic in spreading the sound and the Sonos Fives are beasts in the bass line. I combined two worlds together. I hope that one day you will do some research with this line-up. You can do this like no other. Maybe you have already done this... Greetings from the Netherlands, Rotterdam. Love from Holland...

    Really nice to be able to manage stored WiFi networks now. There was no way to do this before the update to 80. Took a bit to find my way around the new app, but no problems to speak of. There was a firmware update to 16.2, that was not the smoothest. But not really out of bounds from past updates. There was a failure message a couple of times, but appeared the devices did update, but the app did not wait long enough to get a response from the device restarts. A few things I like, like much more readable 'about system,' screen. No real 'bugs' found. Working pretty much as expected.

    Yes that's it Peter. There's no queue management possible which there was in the old App. How do I create a playlist? It used to be that I'd choose an album, then another one "add to end of queue" then click "shuffle". Now that's disappeared. When I searched for a performer, it gave me an automatic playlist; many tracks I don't want, but I can't delete them. Can you help?

    The new app is so much slower then the new app. Volume change is taking far to long and the loading times when you chose a song takes double the time. I downgraded my phone to 16.1 and its instantly so much smoother. I have a top tier phone so the difference in speed is really noticeable maybe this is les a problem on mid and lo tier phones, but for me the new app is annoying to use because of the difference in speed. I also cant add my new sub g3 to the system everytime i try to add it the app crashes and is closing. After downgrade to 16.1 there are no problems

    I immediately noticed one positive. As a Sonos user with a large system, it seems to work better. By “better” let me explain. My main system is the Arc plus two subs plus two Era 300 surrounds and a front pair of Era 300s grouped with the Arc. I was constantly having to re-group the Era 300s with the Arc. And when I wasn’t doing that, I was having to choose the TV as a sound source for the Arc because my music choice kept disappearing. This new version appears to handle big systems much better because I am not having these issues.

    I have a Sonos sound bar and surrounds, plus a Roam. Headphones are my number one wanted product (even more than getting a sub or sub mini since my system is on a second floor, thus the headphones.) I can only imagine how much Sonos branded headphones are going to be. I can't bring myself to spend that kind of money if I need buggy or broken software to go with it. That's even assuming they turn out to be worth the wait.

    Hey Peter I’ve had the updated Sonos app for a while now probably like most of you. I’ve toggled between turning true play off and on. It maybe just my opinion but I find the sound much better with true play turned off. I find the sound fills the room better and is all around you.

    Sonos Connect no longer usable: I can not stream any longer to any of my speakers from Sonos Connect as update of firmware happened in the background from Vers. 16.1 78.1-51070 (of all Speakers) to 16.2 79.0-52294 for all other speakers except for the Connect that stayed at the former version. Any suggestions?

I just took a break from any music listening. Today's the day, though. Last night, I noticed the big TV Room had the surrounds sounding pretty good again. Maybe there's hope?

    Cosmetically, it looks better, but I can confidently say it has some bugs. I tried to factory reset two Eta 100 speakers (that were configured in Stereo) in a family room. The reset went fine, except under the new app, I could not re-register the speakers again to my account! I continuously received an error, "Unable to register Sonos Era 100 with your account"?? Went back to the old Sonos App on my older iPad, and everything worked first time. I would stay well clear of this app for a few iterations :)

    Thanks for pointing out some of the issues Peter - the thing that makes me most irritated is I can't control my current system from my Pixel watch anymore - on the "old" app, if it was running on my phone - I could play/pause/skip and control volume. Not anymore! That and the missing ability to add songs to the current playlist - which I do all the time at parties to add peoples requests - so again - total fail it doesn't work anymore... really frustrated with the new, IMO, junk app.
