Charged $36, Not $10

Line Input from Sonos Connect also doesn’t work. Waste of money

Brilliant!

Anyone with a Sonos needs this!!

Encourage independent software developers

Encoure developers who, probably, built this software out of need for themselves. Honestly, I just purchased the app earlier today because it does exactly what I wanted myself to code myself as a side project. If nobody else did it prior. I see that from your other app, the developer also built a Roku remote that I wanted to code because I could not find something else already doing it, but I broke the TV so I don’t need it anymore, but I purchased that one too just to support developers independently, develop multiple platforms and do not try to sell their product under a subscription model. You are the MVP thank you to the author(s).

Multiple apps?

Would be nice if buying this on my iPhone would also let me download the Mac App. What good is this app in a home if it only works on one device in my home?

Amazing app

Been waiting for that kind of app for years. I am having the error “too long to execute” from shortcut app. How can I solve this ?

Amazing for controlling speakers

The shortcuts are easy to implement into custom automations or actions and are quite reliable. The preset shortcuts in the app are also great for those who don’t want to fuss around in shortcuts.

Apple Watch requires interaction boo

Hi developers. Please fix these shortcuts so that if an Apple Watch is worn or hears/activates shortcuts that the Apple Watch won’t require me to “do” or “cancel” a request I asked Siri to do.

Doesn’t work!

App doesn’t work! Not able to discover my Sonos speakers on my local network.

The features I was waiting for since a long time!

Thanks you very much for this app, I’m so happy to control my Sonos speakers with Siri Shortcuts! Some shortcuts are missing, thought: • Increase / Decrease Volume • Get title and info of the current played music or stream • Get Current Volume Thanks
