Chris, it would be if it's true. I assumed it was, but usually Jonathan has good information and if he heard that the accessibility of the new app is terrible then I am sure he has good reasons to say this. If I hear back from my Sonos contact I will certainly provide that information. In any case, we'll find out in a day and a half provided you choose to upgrade. I have two systems, one at home and one at my retail store and I may just try it first there with an iPad we have before updating the app on my phone.

Easier. Better - App update available May 7 Get ready for a fresh look, easier control, and new ways to personalize your listening experience. Your questions answered Is this a new app to download? No, this is an update to the existing Sonos app. How will this affect my system? We've taken great care to ensure that this update only enhances your Sonos experience. Your products, features, and services will work as they always have, and all your settings will be saved. What new features does the update include? We’ll reveal more details when the update is available. The email did include a "preview" link, I believe there are some visuals on that website which may show some of the new look, but the below information is also provided, let's hope Sonos will maintain their excellent track record regarding Voiceover accessibility and the new app will be fully accessible as the app has been now for around 11 or 12 years. I used to be a beta tester for Sonos, but stopped quite a long time ago so I have no personal experience with this update yet and will find out what it's like on May 7 as everybody else.
