*2026-02-07, version 1.2.0*

Does not work at all

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2024-12-30, version 1.2.0*

The app says it is searching for devices, but never finds anything. It doesn’t work.

### 1/5 — Does not work

*2024-05-19, version 1.2.0*

Fails to find anything.

### 1/5 — Not working at all

*2023-01-19, version 1.2.0*

The wife bought this app for her MacBook and loves it.  So we had to pay again for the phone app and it can’t even locate any of the 20 speakers we have.  It just keeps saying looking for devices please wait.

### 1/5 — Funktioniert nicht!

*2021-11-30*

Bin super enttäuscht. Funktioniert nicht. 

„Looking for More devices“ und das war’s!

**Developer response:** Remote for Sonos is the Watch app as shown in the screenshots on the App Store. After the iPhone has correctly detected Sonos speakers, you can start using the app on your Watch. In case of any issues please restart both your Watch and iPhone, replug the speakers to the power source or contact us via support e-mail. Kind regards

### 5/5 — Works great.

*2021-10-02, version 1.1.1*

Installed, restarted watch and phone, started controlling (play, stop, pause, volume up and down) music and tv audio through the Sonos system immediately. So much more convenient to mute tv ads right from my watch rather than hunt for my phone, open the app and pause. Thanks for a great app.

### 5/5 — Just what I needed!

*2021-05-08, version 1.1.1*

Thanks!

### 1/5 — Should read reviews first

*2020-09-08, version 1.1.1*

Only allows me to adjust the volume. Can’t shuffle or change music sources....👎🏽👎🏽👎🏽👎🏽

### 1/5 — Terrible App. Didn’t work properly.

*2020-08-22, version 1.1.1*

Didn’t work properly with my Apple Watch. 
If possible, I would like my money back. 
I already uninstall the App from my iPhone and Apple Watch. 
Thanks.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t even work with volume

*2020-04-19, version 1.1.1*

What’s up Dariusz?! How do I get it to work?
