It's an understatement to say that Sonos has made a rough start to redesigning the app The company called the major changes "courageous," but most dedicated users seem to call the update "annoying" at best Thankfully, the company seems to be walking through some of the controversial changes, including adding some very simple features to the app

In a Reddit thread, a Sonos employee keeps a log of app updates They said the app was "updated to include fixes added in today's software and firmware updates" on 6/4

The biggest feature added to the app in this update is the sleep timer It seems ridiculous that sleep time was removed from the Sonos app in the first place, but at least the company listened to users and brought the feature back as soon as possible

With these changes, the app looks like it did before a huge month update and is starting to function more In general, you want an app update to move things forward, which is why Sonos is scrambling just to get the software back in place

Apparently, the introduction of Sonos Ace headphones prompted some changes Still, for longtime Sonos users who have always wanted to use the speakers as usual, it doesn't actually make that annoying change

Here is the full changelog of the June4 update for the Sonos app

The return of the sleep timer is the main event, but there are several other notable updates that make Sonos users happy

It seems that Sonos has a good plan to get things right for loyal users, but I'm still puzzled that these changes happened in the first place
