Now when Sonos have F*cked upp I am considering switching to Homepods instead. I will miss my two Move speakers, so great to just move them to any other location and continue to play while the 7 other Play One keeps playing in the whole house. I will also miss crossfade. I can’t understand how Apple has failed to offer us a battery powered device.Just my personal opinion, if you are only using 1 or 2 speakers you will not have any issues with the HomePod. And the sound quality for the price can't be beat. However, if you do a multi room setup with 5 speakers like I have, HomePod will start giving issues. I have solid WIFI, no other devices give me issues. I've now completely switched over to SONOS and I am so happy. but the price is much more expensive.
Can I ask what issues you are having with the new app? Mine seems to work fine, and crossfade still works.Now when Sonos have F*cked upp I am considering switching to Homepods instead.

Oh boy, where to start. Control of alarms where missing at first, you cant add anything to the que, just replace the que, telling it to play ome speaker A makes it play on B or C or whatever. It’s ridiculous how bad it is. There is no crossfade setting in the Home app.
Here is 49 pages of complaints about the new app https://en.community.sonos.com/product-updates/the-new-sonos-mobile-app-web-app-6891770/index55.html
i have now tried two homepods for the day, I dont like it. Siri in Swedish is much worse than ever so it basically cant be used and that leaves me with control only in the Home app which is terrible. I cant add songs or anything so I dont get people raving about it.
Are you using Apple Music as your service?Crossfade is no problem, I say that is what I would miss moving from Sonos to Homepods.
1 Where is add to que?
2 Where do you rearrange the que?
I had 3 Amazon Echo dots and Echo show----the Homepod mini, as far as sound, blows them away. However, the main reason for getting rid of the Echo units was "spying". I was getting suggestions from Alexa on my phone and Echo that could have ONLY been from listening to us. But I digress--Are HomePod Mini really good speakers?
