I mean, he's not wrong that the app wasn't ready. Which begs the question why they didn't un-roll-it-out. >.>

They literally wasted all the effort trying to do patent trolling for years, and now their own lineup sucks sick. Who would have expected that

That's the worst part, back when they were new, at least Sonos had a cool USP. Nowadays others do remote access and smart speakers too, and Sonos is still overpriced, still mediocre hardware, and now doesn't even have a nicely integrated all-in-one-app any more.
