Sonos S1
When I’m using the S1 app, it doesn’t update to what’s currently playing sometimes when I come back to the open app. I need to close the app and reopen for the current play to be correct and not stuck on previously played material.
Worst app and company … ever?
How this app has more than one star is beyond me. Like many people, I am deeply invested in Sonos products for whole home audio. This was at best fine when they were sort of maintaining this original app. Then they just decided to abandon it. Now the “S1” app simply sucks. It has a non-dismissible nag banner to upgrade to the S2 app which is useless for older Sonos hardware. There are a million simple-to-fix UI problems, like playlist names from Apple Music don’t load. But then there are the more annoying problems like when a playlist just stops playing.
You’d think they could hire an internet to vibe code and fix the many many problems with the horrendous S1 app or barring that, open source it.
At any rate, let the S1 app be a warning for anyone thinking about buying Sonos products. They’ll abandoned you just as certainly as they did the previous generation of their customers.

Boring didn’t connect so had to download the other app
Waste of money
Promises you the world and Never performs. Works great when the restaurant is not busy, but as soon as more users are using up bandwidth the system fails EVERY TIME. Spent thousands of dollars and these crooks and thousands on Apple Music and keep getting messages of “not authorized to play”. What a scam. We see going back to a wired speaker system connected to an audio source.

Accessibility issues with Sonos
While the S1 app works just fine, after Sonos introduced the Liquid Glass in the main bottom navigation menu a couple of months ago, it introduced a huge readability issue: The text of the selected item is white, over a very light gray background. This means you can’t tell properly which item is selected on the menu. This update was made months ago, but is still an issue. I know we are not supposed to expect updates for the S1 app other than security fixes, but the unexpected design update broken the readability, so I trust Sonos devs will fix the introduced issue. Thank you!

S1 y s2
Deberían unir esos 2 sistemas para que funciones las generaciones
Sonos gives you music for the whole home!
The app is great and the music is even better. The atmosphere becomes beautiful once you add a little music and Sonos helps you do that for the whole house in just a few taps!
DARK MODE PLEASE
This is a great app. I use my Sonos system every day and the app keeps it simple and clean. Love the alarm function, I wake up to Stan Getz every morning ✌️
How many years has it been?
Integrate S1 with S2 already. This is not that technologically complicated. Build a single unifying layer on top of both.
App locks up when back grounded. Doing for 7 years. Sonos sucks.
I have been an Sonos user since 2005 and still have many of rhe old systems which is remarkable that they are still supported in this era of planned obsolescence. However, this is for the devs. The s1 app ui freezes when the screen goes off, you cant change the volume. You have to shutdown the app and restart it. Simple fix, been doing this for 7 years.

Cool
Its such a great system for my home to just listen and relax all around my home.
Never again
This is by far the worst experience I’ve had with a technology company spent thousands on multiple play five speakers, playbar, sub multiple play one speakers. The whole thing is farcical They just want to data harvest and register products and have multiple apps and trying to change Wi-Fi networks has wasted hours of my life.

Never ever ever works
Whenever I go to stay with friends or in a hotel or an Airbnb and there’s a son of speaker I can never ever ever connect to it. The instructions are hopeless. I can connect to every other speaker in the world from my iPhone and play my music library but never Sonos why are you so rubbish?
Unusable
This system is completely unusable for daily use and unreliable, mainly due to the app. With the old speakers there is no option to connect via bluetoorh or airdrop. That means sonos app is the only option. Also, no option to synch youtube or own music bought, only option to pay for streaming service! When trying to update the system or re-authorise the streaming service often on the S1 Sonos app it says the app needs to be update (even so S1 is up to date), however, the link then send one to Sonos app which when update says it is unable to connect to system because it is incompatible. This creates an unbreakable loop where S1 App is not useable and redirect to Sonos app which cannot connect. It is extortionate that the only practical solution seems to be to buy new equipment, therefore, increasing once financial investment in a system that might force one to buy even more. Better to accept the loss, not buy any more, and choose different brand. Shame!

Stay away from Sonos and Bose
I have wasted THOUSANDS on first Bose and now Sonos sound systems just to realize Planned Obsolescence was built into the design.
Use this app not Sonos S2 if you want a system that can handle what you want
Title says it all. Works just like Sonos used to with before they messed everything up with the “upgrade.” Just make sure you have older speakers that are S1-compatible.
Terrible Company/Good Speakers
Speakers work perfectly but company sabotaged the older models so they only work without WiFi.
Still rubbish
Just when you think they have solved it they employ an idiot. No volume now. Why o why. Dont buy
Update
Why do you not check things before releasing?? Going back to the bad old day when Patrick was in charge releasing updates that discriminate older products. Don’t do it !!
Dreadful app
A pretty useless interface that does not pick up most of the services that you add to it, limiting itself to one or two services at best. Most of the time the ‘connection’ is lost and it is unable to play the content. It really is barely functional. And why does the sleep timer never work first time ?!?!
