Rapid Update

I’ve been using Lyd on my Apple Watch for several years. It allows me to stop or start music easily. With the update to Watch OS27 Lyd no longer worked. But within 48 hrs Lyd was updated and now works again. THANK YOU!!

Amazing App

I have had this app for a year or more now and it is consistently amazing! I simply click the widget on my watch and can instantly skip songs, control the volume, etc.

(Rev.) best version yet!

Lyd has made my Sonos more accessible than ever. Make sure you scan the QR code if updating to the newest version, I initially did not, and thought the app
had become unusable 🙄. Please keep up the good work 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Apple Watch’s killer app

If you have Sonos, the Lyd app on its own justifies buying an Apple Watch. It’s my killer watch app, the one I rely on most, the one I’d miss most. Sonos + Lyd is the perfect pairing.
