What's New in Orto Shortcuts Legacy

3.4

July 22, 2021

We're putting this App out to pasture. It's being renamed as Orto Shortcuts Legacy. Although we won't be adding new features we will make sure it keeps working as long as possible. Try out out the new version of the app under the name "Orto" on the App Store. It's like this one but with loads of extra ways to control your Sonos.

Should be able to set separate device volumes

Bought this app to run a Special “morning routine” shortcut, and kind of disappointed. Each morning, I set all speakers to one group, laundry room at one volume, bathroom at another, and other areas to low. Unfortunately this app only supports an “across the board” volume (not even relative to the volumes in the group) and sets all speakers to that exact percentage. Wish there could be some granularity!

Thanks for the feedback. We've added this granularity to our new "Orto" app

Worth it

Brings a large degree of convenience to our Gen 1 Sonos set up. I do with there was a way to play specific playlists but outside that it’s nice to be able to use Siri intuitively with short phrases to get the system playing, stopping, volume changes etc.

Buggy

I can setup shortcuts and they work once and then Siri complete the shortcuts. Super annoying, wish I could get my money back!

Response from developer

These bugs are long gone. Sorry for any users who have experienced them

Keeps logging out of Sonos

If fixed, then 4 stars

Still crashes w/ multiple speakers

If you have more than one speaker this app is a waste money because it will crash on start. Delete and reinstall doesn’t help
