Description

S1 + S2 compatible! Control all devices in just ONE App. SonoPad is the first full fledged third party alternative Sonos remote control available for your iPad. It is compatible with iOS12 to support 10 year old Apple devices and with latest iOS versions, also works with current and older Sonos firmware. Watch on YouTube: http://youtu.be/QkGSuzPP9dk Also don't miss my App "SonoPhone" for iPhone! Read below about - a new intuitive and elegant User Interface - integrated browser for fast information retrieval - less taps for common tasks - and current limitions (don't skip them ;) ) or come over to my homepage www.sonopad.com with much more information and screenshots available. This application is not endorsed by or associated with Sonos, Inc. (which is why it is not free) ◆◆◆ a new intuitiv and elegant user interface ◆◆◆ - SonoPad focusses on the main tasks in its user interface, making it less cluttered and easier to find your way around - don't hide your covers in a small area, SonoPad give big room to show show your gorgeous covers all the time - drag and drop zone management - a classic dark theme - volume + progress popups: when changing volume or progress of a song, you get popups telling you the actual values. Stop guessing your desired values today! - screensaver mode ◆◆◆ integrated browser for fast information retrieval ◆◆◆ - SonoPad knows what you are playing, the web knows even more - pregenerated links and searches based on your playlist: you are just a tap away from Wikipedia, Lyrics search, Tourdates Search, Last.FM, YouTube, AllMusic, MusicBrainz and many more. ◆◆◆ less taps for common tasks ◆◆◆ SonoPad tries to optimize most often used tasks to have the least taps needed. In the end you are able to navigate and control your players much more fluently. - Touch To Play: are you sick of always beeing asked what to do when you tap a track or album? SonoPads default is to just start to play. A long press still gives you access to all options - you can also change the tap default on the settings screen. Want to build a playlist fast? Just set the default to 'always add to end' and off you go ... - tap an album cover image and the whole album starts to play immediately - aggregated search: search results are collapsed into one view, so you see immediately in what category you have the best results, without switching back and forth - shortcuts to most used functions: on the bottom bar you have shortcut buttons for artist, albums, radio and musicservices. The Radios menu is rearranged so you are only two taps away from your radio favorites from any place. - you can control the volume of every player directly from the players popup. No need to switch players anymore. ◆◆◆ Limitations ◆◆◆ - all music services except YouTube Music are supported - No portrait mode on the main screen - No playing of music stored on iPad - No support for administrative features (adding/removing players, music service, ...). You need the official Apps for initial setup of your system, SonoPad will pick up all changes automatically. - No options to set alarms or sleep settings - No support for discontinued WD100 dock ◆◆◆ Other stuff ◆◆◆ - you can start SonoPad with the 'sonopad://' URL from other remote Apps. Its also possible to hand over a return URL and a default player to be selected. Read more about it on my blog! - SonoPad shows artist names when browsing compilations - Sonos is registered trademark of Sonos, Inc.

  • Excellent app replacement for a broken Sonos app

    This is well-written app for the Sonos platform. It works so much better than the official one from Sonos. The UI is also easier to navigate. I use this on an old iPad set up in kiosk mode, mounted on a wall to control my system. I would (pretty please) like to have an option in the app to dim the screen or put a black overlay to prevent LED burn-in
  • Works great (unlike the official app)

    I bought this mostly to say thank you to the developer for making SonoPhone (which is also excellent), but this app is also very well done - fast, responsive, clear UI. Please keep up the great work.
  • Almost great

    The app works well, but it only works in landscape orientation.
  • The only Sonos app that works

    Since the official app has become a dumpster fire, this is the only app that works with my system anymore.
  • Good app!

    Please add option to reduce font size. I am using iPad Pro 12.9 and longer albums and song names overlaps when multiple albums are displayed. This makes it very hard to read and select the correct file. Thanks so much!
  • Great app! Works perfectly

    After sonos made a mess with their app, Sonopad and Sonophone saved the day! Extremely happy with both versions. Keep up the good work!
  • Sonos should just buy this app!

    The official Sonos app just stopped working with my local music library after the “upgraded’ the S2 app. Sonopad continues to work fine. Just goes to show that one competent developer can often do more than a whole team of engineers.
  • Good but….

    Really needs to get off of the landscape mode kick. I don’t use my iPad like that much.
  • Awesome App!

    This app has saved my sanity after Sonos decided to roll out an app that was utter garbage in every way. If you’re still struggling with trying to get your S2 app to work, just stop and get this app. Best money I’ve spent in a long time! There are two different Sonos controller apps from this developer, this one for the iPad and another one for the iPhone. Do yourself a favor and get this app, stop struggling with the trash that Sonos forced on us.
  • thank you, thank you, thank you

    When Sonos recently disastrously revised its controller software, I was at wits end. I love my Sonos speaker system, and play music on it for hours every day. Sonos' software mess made my 7 speakers nearly unusable. SonoPad (and SonoPhone) saved the day. I thought perhaps I'd use them until Sonos got its apps working well again. Now I like them so much I'm not even trying Sonos' incremental attempts to recover from their face plant. Well worth the modest price.
