Nervously Updated the App – Sonos S1 Controller Review

I’ve learned the lesson the hard way to wait to update apps till after reading the most recent reviews. I’ve turned off auto update and manually update when the app is either buggy or there are new features Is like to have. With the S1 update over a year ago, the reviews were not good. Most everyone, still, are having connectivity issues. I just recently added a used Play:1 I bought on eBay to my relatively older Sonos collection. In order to add the new speaker to the family, I HAD to upgrade the app. I did so nervously because I didn’t want to start having the same connectivity issues. My current issues were only minor and random and not *really* an issue. So after restoring the speaker to factory default, I had no problem connecting the speaker to my setup. All my other speakers still work fine after the app update. Phew! So no complaints here. I hate that others are having such a rough time. Hopefully Sonos support, if contacted, are of help. I have been super stoked about my Sonos system. I love grabbing my phone on my bedside table in the am and turning on my music before I even get out of bed. I have now five Play:1 speakers, two of which are part of my surround system for my tv, where I have the Beam and the subwoofer. I’m thankful and satisfied all works great even after updating the app. Side note: I’ve seen comments about not being able to play music stored on their phone. I only use Spotify, so that could be a reason I have no issues. My boyfriend, who plays music from his Apple collection has a few more connection issues than I do.
