But just got Apple Watch and purchased this ap. Worthless!!! Don’t bother. Slow and does not work well at all. Zero star rating.!!! ### 1/5 — Only one star but could be 0 *2020-01-08, version 1.1.1* This app is buggy and does not perform well. It’s easier just to keep my iPhone Close by instead. Look elsewhere if you want to control your Sonos. ### 1/5 — Installiert sich nicht auf der Watch, iOS 13.2.3, watchOS 6.1 *2019-12-16* Leider bricht die Installation ab und die App ist auf der Watch nicht benutzbar **Developer response:** Hello, If you encountered any issues please contact application support in order to resolve it.

It literally does nothing. Detects you’re speakers and doesn’t allow you to do anything. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY!! ### 1/5 — Doesn’t deliver *2019-08-13, version 1.1.0* It doesn’t do anything but allow you to change the volume, see what song is playing and which speakers are grouped. It doesn’t respond to play most of the time so I have to use my phone. It does none of the things they describe like selecting music or grouping speakers. Totally disappointed. ### 1/5 — This app does not work *2019-08-03, version 1.0.1* This app does not work Appears an phone but does not work on watch. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2019-07-30, version 1.0.1* This app doesn’t work. There’s no way to access playlists, add songs, etc. It needs a lot of work. Please refund me. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Poor app *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 ### 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? ### 1/5 — Only volume control sometimes *2020-03-06, version 1.1.1* Clunky , and this is not the quality that Sonos products have. Very dissatisfied with this app. ### 1/5 — Useless app. *2020-02-13, version 1.1.1* Please I need my money back. I bought this app yesterday, only shows the Sonos in my house and controls only the device I play from my iPhone. Does nothing else. Can control Sonos that are not playing from my iPhone. Please how can I get my money back. ## Most praised reviews (6 highest-rated) ### 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! ### 5/5 — Don’t buy *2019-11-01, version 1.1.1* You open the app, then you’ll see all the Sonos in your house. After that you can’t do anything else.... It’s completely useless. ### 5/5 — Sehr gut *2019-10-27* Bis jetzt gut, und die einzige die ich kenne, die die Titel der Playlist anzeigt. Leider funktioniert die Komplikation nicht. Die App wir zwar in den Komplikationen angezeigt, aber in der Einstellung der Zifferblätter ist die App leider nicht aufgelistet. Nachtrag: Der Entwickler hat wirklich schnell reagiert. Mit dem neuen Update funktioniert jetzt auch die Komplikation! Die App arbeitet sehr zuverlässig, und ist Pfeilschnell. Schön wäre es noch, wenn man die einzelnen Lautsprecher selbst gruppieren könnte, und über die Watch auch Musik suchen könnte, also nicht nur die Playliste zur Auswahl hat. Für mich persönlich die bis dato beste Steuerung mit der Watch für Sonos. Absolut top, und nur weiter zu empfehlen... **Developer response:** Hello, Thank you for the review and for using Remote for Sonos! We are very happy that you like the app. Support for groups will be available in the next 2-3 weeks. Regarding browsing music sources we will take a look what can be done and how it will work with the watch. Stay tuned! Best regards ### 5/5 — Guter Ansatz aber viel zu langsam *2019-08-19* Viele Funktionen, aber eine zu langsame Reaktionsgeschwindigkeit. 20 sec ist einfach zu lang. Der Tip, alle Lautsprecher kurz vom Stromnetz zu nehmen, hat viel gebracht. Jetzt funktioniert es sehe schnell und perfekt. **Developer response:** Hello, Please try to replug the speaker to the power source, it should help. The app responsiveness depends on both the Apple Watch series and how fast the speaker would respond after an action is performed. You can also contact us via support page and provide more details about your setup. Best regards ### 5/5 — Great Sonos controller for Apple Watch *2019-08-05, version 1.0.1* It’s nothing fancy, but this little app works great to control my sonos. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
