## SonoPhone for Sonos Description

- Speeds up most common tasks (less taps)

You control your Sonos. Not the other way around.

See the features in action on YouTube ( 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.

## SonoPhone for Sonos Reviews in Australia

### ***** "Wow"
My house went from music to daytime TV with my sanity plummeting with it since Sonos released their horrible app.
Sonophone for Sonos - within 2 mins of installation had it all going again thanks
-- Barkerash, 2025-01-26

### ***** "Works!!"
I paid the small fee to try out this app after the disaster that was the official Sonos app update. Well I’m so glad I did because it works perfectly! We got to the point that we were seriously going to sell/throw out our entire Sonos ecosystem and start afresh with a different brand, SonoPhone literally saved us thousands and thousands of dollars and controls Sonos like the actual Sonos app should!! Instant response from the app, especially for volume. The frustration and anger I was getting when the official Sonos app was so slow and unresponsive to volume taps, all gone with SonoPhone, and how the Sonos app SHOULD BE! Thank you SonoPhone developers, brilliant app and a sanity saver for this family!
-- JackShark6, 2025-01-01

### ***** "Excellent"
Great work team finally an intuitive controller & I can now see / control all my Sonos playlists created 👍😁
-- Marty_666, 2024-12-10

### **--- "Was amazing"
This app used to work amazing. But not it doesn’t sad :(
-- Awesome!!!!!!!!!!!101, 2024-11-24

### ***** "Thank Jesus the Lord we are saved"
For six dollars I have recovered the utility of thousands of dollars of stereo equipment, praise be. Best money I have ever spent on the App Store.
-- Mintxx999, 2024-10-12

### *---- "Do not buy this app"
Terrible is the only way to describe this app. All the positive reviews, I can’t see how they’re justified. Makes the new Sonia app look and work good. I’ll be demanding a refund
-- Sonos reviewed, 2024-08-22

### ***** "Excellent support"
Great alternative to awful Sonos app. Great support from Stefan. Well worth it. Well done Stefan!
-- Dall48, 2024-08-20

### *---- "Zone creating either broken or bad UX"
I don’t know if I’m doing something wrong but creating zones on this either doesn’t work or I’m doing something wrong.
-- michaelclarke86, 2024-08-18

### ***** "Don't think twice"
If you're having issues with the official Sonos app, changing the volume and selecting music, this app works perfectly. Shock and horror, the volume slider works instantly. The official Sonos app it jumps around and doesn't work, or if it does it's minutes later. It's not your network, don't blame yourself, it's the offical Sonos app. Get this guy and all will be good again. It doesn't work with YouTube music, but it does let you use airplay  much more efficiently.
-- Kakososato, 2024-08-01

### ***** "I have regained control"
Given recent developments of the awful official app, I thought a quick purchase of sonophone couldn’t hurt. This is like a timewarp to the days when I was the one controlling my Sonos system, not the other way around. My kids refuse to use their Sonos speakers because it had become such a hassle to do the most simple things - such as play music! SonoPhone is brilliant. Instant volume adjustment. INSTANT! Queue management, and the long list goes on. Put simply, install this app and wrestle back control. My family now owns this app - peace again in the house. 
My only suggestions surround the look of the app. It is basic in appearance and appears dates. But frankly, who cares? I LOVE the app. Congratulations to the developer/s for producing something so wonderful. Kudos to all!
-- That Metal Man, 2024-07-26

### ***** "Omg - Sonos works again!"
Wow - it’s like going back in time when the official Sonos app was responsive. I can change volume and it’s instant! No 5 second or more delay!! Instant discovery of my speakers - no huge load lag!

I thought the hardware had been bogged down with crappy firmware over the years, but nope - it’s the official Sonos app that has been destroyed. 

Get this app. And Sonos - you should be pretty ashamed of yourselves.
-- adsmell, 2024-06-29

### ***** "Skill & Care Vs. Market Cap"
Do yourself a favor. This app smashes the stoopid updated Sonos app
-- F'langi, 2024-06-15

### ***** "WoW Where have you been all my Sonos Life"
What a great simple effective intuitive app. Sonos App on steroids, really happy with the product cannot be more complimentary to the creator!!!
-- Ravo99, 2020-06-09

### ***** "Why bother with Sonos controller?"
I recommend you should forget Sonos controller and replace with this App. Not only it allows iPod iOS 9 or below to play Sonos but there are so many useful features.
-- Gerokun, 2019-04-14

### ***** "Love this app"
Great app that does everything the original does, but does it so much better.
-- Rellik6, 2014-04-15
