No better than regular Sonos app

Not better in any way I can tell for my Sonos move 1s - paid for it but still get adds - won’t play YouTube music (app states this - not just that I couldn’t make it work). Search continues.

Perfect

Perfect and well thought out, ticks all the right boxes, does everything you need in a clear simple way without any unnecessary clutter. Best I’ve tried by far and believe me I’ve tried many!

Just Great!

I purchased this app a few years ago and almost forgot I had it in my library. The SonoPad app is so much easier to use than the Sonos app. It is a must have if you own a Sonos system!

This is so simple

I have spent many hours with Sonos tech folk discussing the problem of S2 trying to upgrade my S1 Play 5 Gen 1 speaker to S2. Everyone bar S2 knows is not compatible, it’s just a problem caused by being a loyal customer. But not anymore!

This app is so very simple. It is slightly more complex to navigate but the features are great and it looks like it was designed this century - drag and drop to group speakers etc.

It’s also very fast, no more waiting for S2 to scroll the web to find stuff that were already there 30mins earlier.

I strongly recommend this app.

Good app, could be great

Works well and is much better than the official Sonos app.

Unfortunately, the favourites button only shows the main favourites. It does not include Sonos playlists favourites. This change would make the app perfect.
