Hi, as Sonos promised, an update of the new Sonos app which was released two weeks ago came out today. I decided to update and I am happy to say that while not perfect, the app is now definitely very usable with Voiceover. Exploring by touch again lets you find stuff and swiping is much more efficient. There are still places where a certain item has two or three different labels/icons you can click on with the same result, but while I haven't spend more than 10 or 15 minutes with the app, I can now say it's not a complete disaster any more. There was, by the way, also an update of the firmware today which I assume has to do with the announcement of the new headset. One thing I have not yet figured out and it may simply not yet be possible is how to rearrange one's home screen. According to the app tour you can arrange what you want to see on yoru home screen and in which order, e.g. Recently Added, Albums, Artists etc. Sounds like this is a drag and drop sort of thing and I may have to ask one of my sighted employees to figure it out and then see if it can be done, but after going into "Edit", doing a double tap and hold does not seem to work. There is a remove button on the left of all the items which are showing, but not the typical reorder button one finds in other iOS apps. Let's hope Sonos will keep their promise and continue with more Voiceover improvements to bring accessibility up to par with the old app by the end of June. If this wasn't such a busy time for me work wise I'd probably ask to be back in the beta program, but hopefully there are a few other blind users who do have time and can do this.
