Description

Yes. There's a better way to control your Sonos system. - Speeds up most common tasks (less taps) - Cleaner, more stable and fast interface. - Backward compatibility is king (we support Sonos S1 firmware and also iOS15 devices) - Manage zones and music sources. You control your Sonos. Not the other way around. See the features in action on YouTube (https://youtu.be/aMEuaZPUH58) or read more below. This application is a third party app and not endorsed by or associated with Sonos, Inc. (which is why it is not free) ◆◆◆ A new, intuitive and concise user interface ◆◆◆ SonoPhone is designed to leverage the latest iOS design principles: - Tap or drag the player on the top and you'll find the players view to select a new player and with volume controls for all players. From here you can also enter Zone Management, where you can group and ungroup players with drag and drop. - Tap or drag the Track infos on the bottom and you'll be at the big covers screen - Drag the main menu from any place to the left or right to have instant access to playlist or shortcuts - 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! ◆◆◆ 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? SonoPhone defaults to just starting an album or song. A long press still gives you access to all options - you can also change the tap default in the settings menu. 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: drag the main menu to the right to get shortcut buttons for artist, albums, radio and musicservices. - you can control the volume of every player directly from the player selection screen. No need to switch players anymore. ◆◆◆ S1 and S2 devices in one app ◆◆◆◆ - If you still have old S1 devices, the time of always having to change apps is over. We simply display all existing players in the network in one list. Grouping is unfortunately not possible, this is prevented by Sonos. ◆◆◆ Limitations ◆◆◆ - all music services except YouTube Music are supported - 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 playing of music stored on iPhone - no support for discontinued WD100 dock ◆◆◆ Other stuff ◆◆◆ - Sonos is registered trademark of Sonos, Inc.

    Does not give you additional features than the Sonos app which is saying a lot because the Sonos app is horrible. Hard to say save your money on a 3.99 app but this would qualify.
  • Better than the Sonos app

    Perhaps it has always been able and I just missed it but I'd rather credit the newly added grouping and finding lost player support for once again renewing my faith in this app and its ability to make Sonos components function better than the official app. I'd earlier given up being able to use my Play:1 without risking my other functioning components to another of the official apps' "bug fix and enhancement" releases. The latest release of SonoPhone lets me not only find them all and re-group them but also independently adjust their volumes while AirPlaying to them. Well done!

    Unlike the native Sonos app, which currently is unable to shuffle playlists of more than 100 songs, SonoPhone lets me shuffle my entire playlist.

    I can’t quite describe the feeling… I can control my Sonos speakers again, with no lag and no issues. Want to raise or lower the volume? It… does it, now, not ten seconds from now. Want to start or pause a song? It does it, now. Given the actual Sonos app can’t reliably do these things, I’ve switched to using this. Navigation is a bit clunky, but you get used to it. And it’s not the prettiest app on my phone. But it works! It actually works!
  • App design how it should be

    I love the app. Fewer taps for all important tasks. Quick to load players. Much faster than Sonos app. I am reserving one star for feature I need. Sleep timer!
  • Thanks!

    Wish I would have found this app sooner. Night and day difference from the Sonos app. Not only should Sonos hire this guy to fix their app disaster, they should pay him for helping save their business.
  • It’s fine and works

    I don’t know when this came out but it is better than the broke Sonos app when that came out but it’s not better now after they have been fixing the app. That said if you don’t like the new app this is worth a try.
