User Reviews

The Sonos S1 Android app is widely criticized for instability, flaky connectivity, and update-driven regressions. A few reviews note basic use and setup can be straightforward and some versions are stable, but the prevailing sentiment is negative due to forced upgrades, legacy-gear compatibility issues, and UI bugs. A minority report occasional improvements and usable moments, but overall users view the app as unreliable and poorly supported.

Pros

Basic functionality works and setup is easy for some speakers.
Certain versions are stable and intuitive, and the app can be usable.
Updates have delivered occasional improvements (e.g., 2018 upgrade; some recent versions described as stable).
Some users express moments of positive experience (e.g., "Great" / "😃👍 Great").

Cons

Frequent connectivity issues and inconsistent performance (some days it works, other days it stops).
Updates often introduce problems or regressions, making the app worse over time.
Forces users to download or rely on Sonos S2; lack of backward compatibility with legacy gear.
Poor UX/UI and bugs (non-intuitive controls, back button issues, quirky playback behavior).
Service integration issues (YouTube Music, Tidal, Google Assistant problems) and reliability issues with streaming services.

A poorly designed app trying to constantly force you to use the Sonos 2 app meaning you would have to trash your old (perfectly good mind you) equipment and buy all new. I would never invest in Sonos again due to the horrible customer service. Buyer beware!!!
