Ratings and reviews

I downgraded to the Sonos S1 app after the nightmare that has been the new Sonos app upgrades that started last May. This app works flawlessly with Alexa. It's user interface is excellent. The "other" app frequently lost my Sonos Connect device. Sonos tech support suggested that I buy a newer model! Rubbish! Also, Alexa commands would not work on my Sonos move. And as far as Alexa was concerned all of my devices were offline. None of the tech support ideas had any effect.

This app is pure trash. I have an old Play:5 speaker and recently attempted to login to YouTube Music, SoundCloud, and SiriusXM to connect the app to my services. No matter how many times the authentication succeeded on those websites, I come back to this Sonos app and find "Connection Errors". I last reviewed this app in 2017. I see that not much has changed since then. 🙄

I wish zero was a possible rating. We have had Sonos for many years and the original app was the best. I cannot control my volume (when I turn it down, the app turns it up or does not respond at all) I can't even pause the music. If you can avoid updating, do so. The interface is also completely changed,, so it takes a while figure things out.
