New app is shattering my love for Sonos

I have 2 homes - and thousands of dollars invested in Sonos systems between the two. We've used Sonos for years - and converted many friends to the platform. I never would have believed I'd write a post about Sonos like this. The new app sucks. I can't sugar coat it. I don't think I ever had an issue with the original app. Unfortunately you can have the best hardware in the world - but if the software that drives your wireless speakers is unreliable then it doesn't matter. I think it speaks volumes that there isn't any option to even give a review of the app here. Clearly it's not given the same priority as the hardware - which is crazy because the app is literally the brains of the Sonos system.
Setup and sound quality are great. I have completely shut down the Move and yet if she sits for sveral days, the battery will be very low. She cannot hold a charge..
I like the speaker and it streams music where I want but I cannot understand why the battery drains when in the off mode after a full charge. Tech specs indicate it will drain in less than 5 days (sad). It should be able to hold a charge in the off position for much longer like all of my other charging electronics with today's technology.
I wish MOVE was easier to use between two locations w/ WiFi

An option in the app to use Move with WiFi at two locations would be fantastic. I have to reconnect it every time I go to the beach house and the system has a tough time finding it.
Pros: Free Control Options, Superior Sound, Wireless

I HAVE BEEN WITH SONOS SINCE THEY FIRST CAME OUT. I JUST UPGRADED ALL MY HARDWARE TO THE MOST RECENT OFFERING. I HAVE 2 MOVES, PORT, AND PLAY 5'S. AT 2 DIFFERENT HOMES. GOOD HARWARE WITH GREAT SOUND BUT THE PREVIOUS SONOS APP WAS EXCELLENT. SONOS 2 IS TERRIBLE. I HAVE TO RE-SET UP ALEXA EVERYTIME I USE IT.
