\n<\/p>\n
We know that too many of you have experienced significant problems with our new app which rolled out on May 7, and I want to begin by personally apologizing for disappointing you. There isn\u2019t an employee at Sonos who isn\u2019t pained by having let you down, and I assure you that fixing the app for all of our customers and partners has been and continues to be our\u00a0number one priority<\/strong>.<\/p>\n We developed the new app to create a better experience, with the ability to drive more innovation in the future, and with the knowledge that it would get better over time. However, since launch we have found a number of issues. Fixing these issues has delayed our prior plan to quickly incorporate missing features and functionality.<\/p>\n Since May 7, we have released new software updates approximately every two weeks, each making significant and meaningful improvements, adding features and fixing bugs. Please see the\u00a0release notes for Sonos software updates<\/a>\u00a0for detailed information on what has been released to date.<\/p>\n While these software updates have enabled the majority of our customers to have a robust experience using the Sonos app, there is more work to be done. We have prioritized the following improvements in our next phase of software updates:<\/p>\n July and August:<\/strong><\/p>\n Improving the stability when adding new products<\/p>\n Implementing Music Library configuration, browse, search, and play<\/p>\n August and September:<\/strong><\/p>\n Improving Volume responsiveness<\/p>\n User interface improvements based on customer feedback<\/p>\n Improving overall system stability and error handling<\/p>\n September:<\/strong><\/p>\n Improving Alarm consistency and reliability<\/p>\n September and October:<\/strong><\/p>\n Restoring edit mode for Playlists and the Queue<\/p>\n Improving functionality in settings<\/p>\n We plan to continue releasing new software updates on a bi-weekly cadence. With each release, we will share\u00a0detailed notes on what we\u2019ve addressed<\/a>\u00a0and what we\u2019re working on next in our\u00a0community<\/a>.<\/p>\n We deeply appreciate your patience as we address these issues. We know we have work to do to earn back your trust and are working hard to do just that. I am always open to your feedback, you can find me via email at\u00a0ceo@sonos.com.<\/p>\n Sincerely,<\/p>\n Patrick Spence<\/p>\n CEO<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
