What's New in SonoControls

2.1

June 17, 2020

• S1 and S2 speakers are displayed together in one app, in one list. SonoControls finds them all! • The volume level number uses a bit larger font size in the widget. Thanks for the suggestion GzrD (UK app review). • Widget size "small" now also displays room name in the label, just like size "medium". Thanks for the suggestion Matt (via email). • Widget size "medium" is a fraction smaller so 4 speakers also fit on a 4.7 inch screen widget (iPhone 6/7/8/new SE) • A few bugs have been fixed.

Best apprentice available for Sonos control on iPhone

Its not pretty but it works via iOS Lock Screen widgets which is 100% more than I can say for the stupid SONOS app for iPhone and ask the other Sonos control alternatives. Until SONOS get their head out of their behind and fix their app for iOS Lock Screen availability, this is your best option.

Save your money

I would have given a half star just for tricking me into buying the app. What a waste. App clearly hasn’t been worked on in years as it does not work at all. The App sStore should remove it so others don’t waste their money.

Coulda been good

If it actually worked as a widget I woulda liked it.
Really all I wanted was to change volume and play pause without opening somos app every time.
Please update the app to work with new iOS

Work well

It was not working for me. I uninstalled, reboot and reinstalled and working fine. I am not seeing any real lag times over the typical Sonos lag times.

I have a mix of S1 and S2 speakers and using the S2 control app.

You do need to follow the instructions exactly. To get the widget you need to not just search for it but customize and add it to the selection list. The video is a bit off because ios16 changed the way thing look but the sequence is the same.

Waste of money

Widget doesn’t show up in “Add widget”. Waste of money.
