And for that it works great. Until it doesn’t. For whatever reason, it keeps not wanting to “see” my speaker. We have another Sonos user here and THAT one always shows up as the speaker in Clic. Almost every time. I try to set the priority device to my IP address and sometimes that works but now even that has failed. With the app telling me there is no Sonos at the IP address I enter. Despite that being the exact IP address the app shows. So I don’t know what happened. But I’ve just never been able to reliably connect to my speaker. ### 5/5 — At last! *2026-06-08, version 2026.4* Searching for a Sonos controller integrated with Apple devices. Found it! Iphone, ipad and Apple watch! Thank you Nick! ### 3/5 — Yes but, need Sonos software to work for Clic to work? *2026-06-05* In order to get the Clic software to work with playlists, you need to have Sonos software working. The same Sonos software that stopped working 4 - 5 years ago. Clic works at controlling speakers, but as far as a replacement for iTunes or Sonos music app it’s useless. ### 5/5 — Everything the Sonos app should be!!! *2026-06-01* I’m still getting familiar with Clic for Sonos, but it is incredibly better than the state of the Sonos app as of May 2026. Clic is agnostic as to whether you’re using a system with older Sonos equipment or newer Sonos equipment that requires the newer Sonos 2 app - I tested and proved this by going into a home yesterday that was using 6 older Connect:Amps and 2 Play 5 speakers (requiring the old Sonos 1 app) and music on a NAS vs my own system that uses the Sonos 2 app. Clic works on both. Anyone frustrated with using the Sonos app should try Clic for Sonos on their own system. It brings back the pleasure of controlling music playback thru Sonos. ### 5/5 — Embarrasses the SONOS app *2026-05-21* Inspiring what a small thoughtful, diligent, motivated dev team can do. Sonos should hang their heads in shame. Or alternatively just back a truck full of money to this team and make it their official app. One small nitpick is that there’s one too many UI flourishes here and there. I’d remove the numbers from the volume sliders for example. And the rooms pop-up that duplicates the sidebar functionality is redundant IMO. But I’m really stretching to find faults. It’s rock solid. Supports all native Mac OS touches like widgets. What more do you want? ### 5/5 — Great Sonos Add-on! *2026-04-27* I appreciate this tool for giving me Sonos controls from my Mac and Apple TV. One suggestion for the Mac would be to allow the arrow keys to be used to control volume, next and previous. ### 5/5 — Finally! Everything SONOS used to do and more! *2026-03-15* We have3 SONOS systems and I no longer have to figure out which SONOS APP to open. Clic acts as my preferred “universal” app and it does a clean intuitive job of bringing out all the elements I need and use most. The Apple Watch integration actually works and it works well! Mac version installs without asking for prior versions to be removed or security conflicts. Thank You so much for cleaning up my SONOS world. I Love the SCENES and use several daily. ### 5/5 — Has become great *2026-03-08* A great thanks to the developer for continuing to improve the app. Back when I first tried it, it was still buggy and I preferred the SONOS app but it showed promise. Now Clic clearly has made better UI/UX choices, integrated various streaming services and seems far more stable. I now made the switch - even after SONOS mostly fixed the issues with their own app. I am still dreaming of something that would allow me to completely use SONOS without the forced login from SONOS in their app. But lets see what the future holds. ### 4/5 — Super App *2026-03-04* Sehr schöne App. Endlich Sonos ohne Sonos App Steuern, das einzig Coole wäre wenn die Spotify Bedienung etwas intuitiver wäre, mit Playlisten und co. ### 3/5 — Great - except for Spotify *2026-02-07* I love the speed and ease of searching and using this app. My only issue is that whenever I try to start a song which is sourced from Spotify it chokes and tells me to contact production support. The song never starts (if there’s already a Spotify album/playlist lined up it’s fine to control start and stop and volume). Not sure if this is a Spotify api issue or with the app. Fix this and I’ll be happy to upgrade to a 5 star review ## Frequently asked questions about Clic for Sonos ### What does Clic for Sonos do?

Pull down to refresh after adding one - Pandora: Browse your Pandora stations, search for new ones, and play any station on any room or group — sign in through the Sonos app and it works in Clic automatically - Pandora Thumbs: Thumb a song up or down right from the player to tune what the station plays next — and set any Pandora station as an alarm –– Bug Fixes & Improvements –– - Fixed album artwork stuttering the player during song changes — the crossfade is now one smooth dissolve - Services you remove in the Sonos app no longer linger in Clic — they're hidden from search and browse automatically - Plex sign-in now lives right on its row in Services — tap the row to manage your account - Clic Mini and Apple Watch now follow the speaker you pick on the Connectivity screen, instead of whichever speaker happened to answer first - Redesigned the Connectivity screen around a single choice — which speaker Clic connects through. It's set to Automatic out of the box, or tap any speaker to use that one instead; a LAN badge marks the speakers wired to your router, and a tick shows what's in use - Fixed the speaker you pick on the Connectivity screen not sticking — the tick would flash onto it and jump back to another speaker. Your choice now persists, and Clic genuinely uses that speaker for album artwork, your library and favorites - Clic's automatic speaker pick now prefers a speaker wired to your router, as it always said it did — previously the wired preference was applied and then discarded, so it could settle on a speaker over Wi-Fi - Refreshed the bottom controls on the player and the speaker list with a glass toolbar look — earlier iOS versions get a matching frosted style - Fixed the queue button's ring briefly showing as full when opening or closing the queue - Scenes now play on the speakers that are available — if a speaker is unplugged or offline, the scene runs on the rest instead of doing nothing - Redesigned the empty queue and Up Next screens — instead of a bare "Nothing up next", they now show your recent play history so you can tap to start something playing right away - Playing a long playlist no longer feels like the tap was dropped — if Sonos needs more than a moment, the banner shows a spinner with what's loading, then confirms once it's ready - The play button now pulses while your speaker is getting a song ready — in the mini player, the player, the speaker list, and on Apple TV - Fixed the Live Activity vanishing when you set the volume from it while in another app — and a speaker that's briefly unreachable no longer dismisses your other rooms' Live Activities along with it - Your volume buttons and the Lock Screen slider now control the speaker by default while Lock Screen ▸ Now Playing is on — Use iPhone Volume Buttons has moved to Preferences ▸ Lock Screen to sit with the setting it belongs to, and it now covers the sliders as well as the buttons. Previously the switch had no effect on the Lock Screen at all. If you'd turned it off, it stays off ... and more. ### 2026.6 — 2026-07-18 –– New Features –– - Multiple Homes: Clic now remembers every Sonos system you connect to. Manage them under Preferences ▸ Households — each home shows its speakers and whether it's an S1 or S2 system so they're easy to tell apart.

Open the screen anywhere and Clic scans for new systems on that network (like a friend's house) and adds them automatically - Playlist Management: Add any song to your Apple Music, Spotify, Plex, or Deezer playlists — not just Sonos.

Note: the selected search service resets once with this update — just re-pick it in the search menu - Plex Setup in Onboarding: If you use Plex, setup now walks you through signing in and choosing your music library right away — with artist artwork previews so libraries are easy to tell apart - Automatic Plex Connection: A new Auto connection type uses your fast local network at home and switches to remote access when you're away — pick it, Remote, or Local from the redesigned connection switch in Plex settings - Arc Ultra Speech Enhancement: Control speech enhancement level (Off, Low, Medium, High, Max) on Sonos Arc Ultra from the player, Shortcuts, Clic Mini, and Apple Watch — the level is shown on the button and updates immediately after changing - TV Dialog Sync: Fine-tune audio delay (lip sync) on Sonos soundbars from the Home Theater section of speaker settings –– Bug Fixes & Improvements –– - Faster reconnect on a new network: when you move between Wi-Fi networks — or return to the app at a different location — Clic now finds your speakers right away instead of waiting through a timeout.
