Sonos’ latest app update fixes just a fraction of its problems

Sonos has released an update to its app as it attempts to reverse the fallout from a disastrous redesign. But while the update adds enhanced accessibility settings and improved stability during the product setup process, the update addresses just a fraction of user complaints.

Sonos is reintroducing the ability to clear your music queue on the Android app — a feature that’s been sorely missed since the app’s relaunch. It also added a Night Mode toggle for sound bars, which enhances dialogue without you having to turn up the volume on your TV.

There’s still plenty of room for improvement, and Sonos has a long list of features to add in its queue. Since the app’s controversial redesign in May, Sonos CEO Patrick Spence apologized for disappointing customers and said fixing the app is the company’s “number one priority,” leading to the delay of two new products.

Earlier this month, Spence dashed hopes that the old app could be rereleased. Instead, the company plans to continue following its roadmap to add features to improve the app, with better volume responsiveness, enhanced queue editing, and better alarm reliability coming in future updates.
