I am happy to report that this update is the best so far and really happy that it overall works much better. We have had our many speakers for a few years and they get used every day which the controller is a vidill part of the operation. So it has been ok in the past bust several issues and feel that this was well thought out, especially with some of us who have invested a lot on this brand. Plus I promote this brand a lot and have over the years, so when I give a thumbs up it means something.
Just what my Sonos system needed

I’ve used their watch app for a few years and still like it a lot. But, just discovered this version for MacOS. This is what I’ve wanted most for a long time. So far, I’m finding the interface design, mix of features and options, and performance to be perfect. Love it. Thanks!

I downloaded the app and used it for trial period. I really liked it however, when trying to make the in app purchase it will never take me to an actual purchase site to make the transaction. It just says the purchase will come from my account email I set up. That never happens and then it’s stuck in my menu bar as trial version and only allows you to pause and start the Sonos. I had to shut down and then restart to be able to dump the app into he trash and delete it. I think there is something wrong with the link to make at the purchase. It was fun while on the trail.
Great developer support
