Thanks Sieghard,
This sounds great! I too hope they maintain their excellent VoiceOver
accessibility.

*Subject:* A big update is coming to the Sonos app
For all the Sonos fans who may not be signed up to receive emails from
Sonos, I just received the below:
Faster. 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. Here now
the info they do provide:
