Thank you

I just updated the app for my watch. To my surprise I now have a widget on my home screen to control Sonos! Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Does not work

I’ve tried uninstalling and reinstalling several times and nothing works. What’s odd is when I had the trial version it worked just fine, since I’ve paid for the app it’s been totally useless

Excellent

Although this doesn’t have the full music library integration of the official Sonos app it is still better than the official app in every way. Want a widget on your Home Screen that tells you what is playing? It’s got that. Want to change volume with your phone’s volume control? Yup that too plus a watch widget. Very well worth the money.

Almost 100% standalone for Apple Watch

This is a very very good app set up is very quick. The phone is just needed to initially set up the Apple Watch, but after that, it is a very good.
