PSA - Sonos is seeking free labor to improve the accessibility of the app for their commercial products,, both in the form of finding accessibility bugs in a production app, and unpaid UX research opportunities.

From an email they just sent to their beta community:

[...]We are putting together a pool of testers to provide ongoing feedback about the quality and comprehensiveness of accessibility features in the Sonos mobile app. Enrolled participants will be asked to use the app as they normally would, but provide us feedback about opportunities to improve our accessibility features via our beta community platform. At points in the future we may also send structured surveys to get more focused feedback on particular components of the app. These surveys will not
be required, but we will greatly benefit from as many testers taking them as possible. This program will rely on the generally available mobile app and does not require you to download beta software. If you're interested in participating please click the link below. Thanks!

@darkuncle my legacy Sonos system is NOW working, after a year of gathering dust.

Sill pissed that everything has to go through the cloud (to be mined and monetized) resulting is lag on simple things like adjusting volume or loading streaming music.

It still amazes me how bad the SONOS app is.
Network bounced this morning at 745am. None of the SONOS gear was in use.

It's now 2pm and not all speakers are connecting. The connections between speakers drops. All playback craps out and has to be restarted.

It's hard for me to imagine failing as hard as everyone at SONOS has failed and like a year later, still not have a stable product.
