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 Canada

### ***** "Keep it simple!"
I was ready to throw my entire system out to the curb 24 hours ago. I did everything you possibility can to fix the constant problems with my system. Found this app and it alleviated all my frustrations. I would have paid more for this app for what it did. Thanks!!
-- Edit Northern, 2025-01-14

### ***** "Unreal"
I was about to sell all my Sonos speakers. I have a lot and couldn’t use my media library on my NAS for months. Found this app and haven’t had a single issue since. Absolutely love it. The only feature that i wish was easier is adding speakers to the music in listening to. This app has what is called zone management…it’s not terrible but i just like the regular Sonos app implementation better. Would be nice to have a way to quickly select other speakers to join the music playing. Besides  that, this app is what you need. 5 bucks to make my 5 grand setup work, take my money. Sonos development team should be embarrassed.
-- Commoditypro, 2025-01-14

### ***** "Wow! Who knew?"
I love the simplicity of this app and how intuitive it is. Kudos to the developer! It is so worth the price. 
If there were one thing I would like to see, it would be a graphic equalizer. Even a group of pre-set ones would do.
-- Allophoney, 2025-01-13

### ****- "Sonos saved!"
It just works! No set up. And unlike the crappy Sonos app, no lag time, no delay, no constantly dropping speakers. It just works.
-- sockpuppetbalou, 2024-12-08

### ***** "Saved my Sonos System"
I have had Sonos since the early days and always loved it, until the big app update.  Since then I have hated it.  Nothing could solve the lag and instability issues…the system seems ruined.
I bought Sonophone and like magic my entire Sonos system runs perfectly.  Fast and stable.
Excellent product.  Bravo to the developers who seem to have done what Sonos could not.
Very worth the $5!
-- Sonosbob, 2024-12-06

### ***** "Better than the official app"
Been using this regularly since May 2024. Way better than the Sonos app. Thanks to the dev for the updates.
-- Johnas5, 2024-12-02

### ***** "Saved my Sanity and my Sonos!"
This app was recommended on the Sonos Reddit group. I haven’t had music in my house for weeks since the upgrade debacle but this app saved my sanity. If you are questioning the cost, don’t. It’s a small price to support the developer and not have a silent house. Thank you!
-- Willowdale Place, 2024-11-16

### ***** "So much cleaner interface than Sonos app"
Have only S1 system apart from Move which I downgraded to S1. Need the Sonos app to set up, and to downgrade but to play music .. well the Sonos app mess . This app in contrast is easy to use and just works. And the iPad version runs on older iPads- finally a use for the 2nd gen mini LOL. Kudos to the developer.
-- JevFam, 2024-08-30

### ***** "Thoroughly impressed"
After my complete disappointment of the last release by Sonos, it was so nice to stumble upon SonoPhone which streamlines all the functionality that used to be in the Sonos app effortlessly.  It was so nice to discover that  SonoPhone was able to recover all my playlists that I thought had been forever lost with the latest Sonos upgrade. And SonoPhone has just improved this product further!  Initially I was thinking this app might just be a stopgap until Sonos finally delivers a usable product, but the more I use this app, the more I enjoy its simplicity and effectiveness.  There is a lot of bang for buck in this app. The best $5 I have spent in a while.
-- Twangbar King, 2024-08-10

### **--- "Crashes on startup"
Was looking like a decent replacement for the terrible Sonos app but it now crashes on startup so completely useless.
-- TheOtherMonkey, 2024-08-10

### ***** "Simply the best"
Enjoying the new update so far. Feels snappier and looks visually better than previous. Volume slider always visible is a plus. This is the essential app for Sonos users, especially after their app debacle
-- Jwright7117, 2024-07-28

### ***** "Finally a basic level of functionality"
Not perfect but functional. Sad that Sonos official app is so bad, and kudos to the developer for putting together a functional alternative.

This should have better features for playlist editing but it doesn’t matter, at least you can quickly make a playlist and edit it.
-- CommLag, 2024-07-08

### *---- "Sonos - what are you guys doing?"
I payed $3.99 for this app because the recent update to the original app made my entire system a useless brick.   This app also doesn’t work properly because it fails to load YouTube Music.  Unacceptable.
-- Parmalat78, 2024-07-06

### ***** "Fixes my instability issues with Sonos!"
After the latest official Sonos app upgrade my system was barely usable. 

This app allows me to control my Sonos equipment like I used to! 

UI maybe a little older, but with how fast and responsive everything is. I could not care less.
-- the_rockhopper, 2024-06-29

### ***** "Dude, this just works"
🙏 thank you 🙏
-- choo choo poo poo, 2024-06-27

### ***** "Better than official app"
Switched to this after Sonos broke their official app, and haven’t looked back. It’s lightning fast, accesses my local library, playlists, favourite radio stations etc and just works. Doesn’t roundtrip to Sonos servers to adjust volume or serve me adds. My only worry is if I ever have to change router or network drive I’ll be out of luck - would probably just sell my speakers at that point . Until then, this app rocks
-- The Monkees, 2024-06-24

### ****- "Nice!"
Call me impressed. A breath of fresh aire after Sonos app debacle.
-- PL23, 2024-06-23

### ****- "Not bad!"
I decided to purchase this app when Sonos—in their infinite wisdom—decided to stop supporting personal playlists for music on my local NAS or server. Plus their new app is much less intuitive to navigate. 
Sonophone takes a minute to navigate, has informative icons, and even has crisper, speedier app response. It also supports all the services I had before , plus my playlists. 
Too bad they don’t offer a trial version—but for $4, recommended.
-- Marketeer_Mik, 2024-05-24

### *---- "Can’t add music services"
App is basically unusable as cannot add any music services.
-- MuskokaBayMan, 2024-05-15

### *---- "Garbage.  Doesn’t work.  Nothing plays from any source."
Don’t waste your time and money.
-- BillyDWilliams, 2024-05-11
