User reviews

Volume control should be the easiest thing to do on any streaming app. SONOS UPDATES make this zimply task infuriating, fidgety, and difficult. Inconsistent and just Seriously Awful. the settings key for bass,treble, loudness and TV voice enhancement should be 1 click away not burried in 5 different drop downs. If you want to increase or decrease these based on genre or listen to many different things it is frustrating.

Has not worked for the last 2 and a 1/2 to 3 months first it would not locate My speakers and apps and now that it does it will not play any music source . Whoever runs this company has run it into the ground. They want to shut down the S1 system. These current issues are Intentional They want everyone upgrade to the S2 models. I will never buy another Sons speaker due to the fact that they can turn the switch off at any time making your thousands of dollars worth of speakers worthless. F THEM

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.
