### 1/5 — Sono

*2022-08-29, version 1.0*

We have Sono 1 which worked wonderfully! With Sono 2 upgrade, only 1 speaker would work. I called and got an incident report and it has NEVER been addressed or fixed. 
I understand there are several brands out now, but I paid a lot of money for the bar, woofer, and all the speakers. I have only one speaker that works. I have tried all the fixes which are provided to “fix” your problem; however they don’t work!

### 1/5 — Sonos 1

*2022-08-13, version 1.0*

Unable to use product due to not being compatible. Unable to download Sonos S2 to downgrade to S1. Not user friendly at all 😒

### 1/5 — Now they want to charge us to use the speakers we bought from them

*2022-04-30, version 1.0*

This is so lame

### 1/5 — Not working

*2022-04-29, version 1.0*

Can’t connect even tho I payed premium

### 1/5 — Move

*2022-01-24, version 1.0*

Never had trouble before but my iPhone and move aren’t having a baby tonight… They can’t even find each other

### 1/5 — Don’t waste your time

*2024-02-14, version 1.0*

Can’t even explore the app without paying $5 a week!

### 1/5 — Ridiculous

*2023-11-19, version 1.0*

It is ridiculous to expect people to pay a monthly or weekly service to get speakers to connect and work. Extremely disappointed.

### 1/5 — Bad

*2023-08-19, version 1.0*

They try to force you into signing up for a subscription

### 1/5 — No connection

*2023-07-31, version 1.0*

Unable to connect my devices to this app

### 1/5 — Subscription?

*2023-07-27, version 1.0*

Lame.

### 1/5 — If you want people to keep Sonos

*2023-06-10, version 1.0*

Stop changing the app and making people update, just leave it alone.

### 1/5 — $$$$$

*2023-01-02, version 1.0*

Since when did we have to pay premium $$$ for a speaker or speakers and then pay a monthly fee to boot.  Taking my “S2 only” devices back.  I will stick w S1, thanks.

### 1/5 — No service

*2022-12-30, version 1.0*

As soon as you try to use this app it automatically offers you a premium subscription. If you try to use what you just downloaded nothing happens, so there is only a paid service, no real working app.

### 1/5 — Horrible App NOT USER FRIENDLY

*2022-12-21, version 1.0*

Why is everything so difficult with Sonos???

### 1/5 — The worst system connection rip off

*2022-09-10, version 1.0*

I am in my 60s app providers start making systems simple bought a Sonos 2 Bluetooth took my money to pay app it is like building the harbour bridge 

I understand all those young it people know but there is a larger market out there then just the you genera 

Terrible app will ask my money back
