I mean, he's not wrong that the app wasn't ready. Which begs the question why they didn't un-roll-it-out. >.>

There was an unofficial option for rollback - I'm on Android so I went to apkmirror and downloaded the last good version and turned off auto update. This worked for a while, but then they forced me to update - it literally said I had to update to continue using. I've seen someone say this wasn't actually a forced update, but rather keeping all the parts of your network in sync. I have one Sonos device and my phone is the only things that connects to it??

And that is why we don't buy things that depend on proprietary apps and/or cloud connectivity. Can't break my shit if it's local only.

Did you also disable FW updates on the hardware? I'm still running the old version because they nuked Subsonic support. There's a banner at the top remind me there's an update, but it's not forcing anything.

No, I didn't.
