Good but….
Really needs to get off of the landscape mode kick. I don’t use my iPad like that much.

Just set the default to 'always add to end' and off you go ...

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.
It Just Works
Something Sonos forgot how to do. It’s just a player, not a management tool, but a really good one. Sees all my playlists and my music library
Brilliant
This app restored my non-TuneIn radio stations which is mostly what I play on my Sonos speakers. The new Sonos app is absolutely terrible and anti-customer, which was making me thinking about trashing my speakers. This app gave me back what the idiots at Sonos took away.
It works
Does what the native App can’t do - control your sonos. Only beef is lack of full screen display on ipad
Saved My Ability To Manage My Sonos System
When Sonos rolled out it’s totally redesigned app, almost every basic function was missing. Clearly there was no testing, nor was there any consideration given to all of us who created a Sonos ecosystem over the years. Fortunately, I already had the SonoPad app on my iPad and I was able to perform roughly 85% of the functions that I previously had using the S2 app. Sonos really screwed the pooch this time around, but fortunately Sonopad is a very good workaround. Not all functions are there, like adding new directories for a Nas Drive, or to set an alarm. All in all, SonoPad saved the day.
How do I update my library?
I put new music onto my server, but sonospad doesn’t see it. On the Sonos app I used to have it update music library and that would to it. How do I do it with sonospad?
Awesome replacement for the stock Sonos app
As of May 2024 Sonos has broken their app — read the many unhappy reviews. Most of the time it cannot even find the Music Library. SonoPad works great and has a better user interface. You don’t have to give up your privacy to this app. No complaints — all kudos!
Best of the batch
for sonos. App needs improvement but it’s my favorite:) Please keep up the good work. Sonos is a nightmare, wish I never invested but feel stuck now after thousands of dollars… Blessings Jorge
