Sonosis experiencing a bit of a tough time at the moment. Much of that is down to various problems with its redesigned app that it unveiled towards the end of May this year, just before its long-awaitedSonos Aceover-earheadphoneswere announced.
The app was the company’s biggest software redesign in 20 years (yes, Sonos has been around that long), moving everything to a centralised home screen for easier access to various settings and features. Unfortunately, it didn’t quite meet the standards of its loyal customers, missing a few essential features that fans loved.
One of the most recent updates to the app, which Sonos has been continually pushing fixes for since its arrival, took a particular toll on someiOSusers. The update added a number of features like line-in autoplay and compression settings, as well as setup, configuration and search for the local music library.
Still, it’s not all bad news. In fact, there’s some good news here too – not least foriPhoneandiPadusers, as Sonos has pushed another update to fix the battery issue.
The latest update “addresses an issue where the app used excess phone battery” and will also “improve the stability when adding new products”, Sonos said in the release notes.
There should also be more good news for Sonos users before the year is out, after Sonos' CEO Patrick Spence apologised to customers ina letterand detailed the planned improvements the company is set to deliver in October. These include restoring the ability to edit playlists and the upcoming queue in the Sonos app, as well as alarm reliability.
