In April,lucah melayu terkini Sonos unveiled a new version of its mobile app, promising more flexibility, improved customization, and ease of use.
But when the app was actually released to customers on May 7, the result was very different, with customers experiencing numerous issues, and many of them unhappy about certain functions (some quite obvious, like "play next") being removed. For Sonos users, this was a big deal, as the Sonos app is an important way to interact with a home audio system and music library.

According to Spence, the numerous fixes the company has released since May have "enabled the majority of our customers to have a robust experience using the Sonos app."
