## What is SonoSequencr?

With SonoSequencr you can create individual sequences to perform recurring tasks with just one click.

If you have multiple Sonos devices and want to play a radio station on all of them, it takes some time to set this up. With SonoSequencr, all you have to do is open the app and tap your previously created sequence.
You can lock your iOS device or use another app while your sequence is running in the background.
Of course, you can also start it from the widget (The Today widget is only available up to and including iOS 17), Apple Watch or using Flic Buttons.

Here are some examples:
- Group kitchen and dining room, set volume to 5, start a radio station and set a sleep timer to 2 hours
- Switch your Playbar in the living room to the TV input, set the volume to 40, add dining room and set the equalizer settings for both devices to neutral
- Disable the subwoofer and enable voice enhancement + night mode on the Playbar in the living room
- Set the equalizer settings for all your devices to specific values
- Disable touch on speaker and enable status light for all your devices
- Set the volume of the kitchen and living room to the same value as in the dining room
- Make an announcement with your individual text in the children's room
- etc...

Each of these examples, created once, requires only one tap in the widget or on your Apple Watch.

SonoSequencr also includes a restricted mode. This allows you to restrict control to specific devices, among other things.


Using an optional in-app purchase, you can also start sequences at specific times or via external triggers like IFTTT. Of course, this requires that the iOS device is on the same network as your Sonos devices at the time. For intensive use of external triggers, it is recommended to run SonoSequencr in 'server mode'. In this mode, SonoSequencr is always running in the foreground on a dedicated iOS device. SonoSequencr still supports iOS12.

There are many more features like grid view, create dynamic alarms, HTTP requests, launch other apps, automatic battery charging in server mode, transfer sequences between devices, etc....

You can only use music (radio streams/tracks/albums) for your sequences that are stored in your Sonos Favorites (My Sonos) or in your TuneIn radio stations. You can't search your entire music library in this app. Just add your most used music to my Sonos then it can be used in your sequences.

The Timed Sequences feature is only available with an optional in-app purchase 'Premium'. With this automatically renewing subscription, up to 20 sequences can be run at freely configurable times. The function is only active as long as a valid subscription exists. The costs are billed via the iTunes account. The subscription will be renewed automatically within 24 hours before expiration (same time and costs), unless it is cancelled before in 'Settings' -> 'Manage Subscriptions' or in the iTunes settings.

To use this app you must have a working Sonos system. SonoSequencr supports Sonos software 1 and 2.

### 5/5 — Creating true 5.2 home theatre

*2026-06-10, version 9.6.6*

Assimilated Sonos beam and four picture frames and two subs into one properly functioning home theatre

### 5/5 — Absolut top

*2026-06-02*

Was die native Sonos App nicht kann, bietet diese App, wirklich ganz ganz toll. So konnte ich einem Raum einen zweiten Sub Mini hinzufügen. Jetzt habe ich den top Sound, den ich mir immer gewünscht habe. Sonos lässt Dual Subwoofer nur mit den größeren Modellen zu. Da kann man natürlich leicht auf den Gedanken kommen, dass diese Entscheidung seitens Sonos aus Marketing Gründen erfolgt ist - denn die großen Modelle sind natürlich deutlich teurer. Nochmals vielen Dank an den Entwickler App. Auch der Support ist super, ich hatte anfangs eine Frage, die schnell und verständlich beantwortet wurde.

### 5/5 — Fantastic app

*2026-05-26, version 9.6.6*

The real question is why does Sonos officially support these features? Instead they purposefully refuses to acknowledge that many of these configurations are even possible. 😡

### 5/5 — Essential

*2026-04-04, version 9.6.5*

Anyone with Sonos - GET THIS APP!!!

### 5/5 — Adds Amazing Capabilites

*2026-02-16, version 9.6.2*

Being able to add front speakers is a game changer.

### 5/5 — Impressive App!

*2026-02-15*

I have dozens and dozens of apps, and this is the first review I’ve ever written. Like all of you, I’m solicited to write reviews, sometimes multiple times a day.

I just wanted to pay props to the developer for not only creating this incredible app, making it straightforward to adding two front speakers and adding a second Gen 1/2 sub, staying engaged with his community, and more. I’ve only scratched the surface of all the features his app provides, but the two aforementioned additions (which the official Sonos app does not allow) has made my TV/movie/music experience significantly richer.

Thank you, Marcus!

### 5/5 — Such a great tool for multi room Sonos environments!

*2026-02-08, version 9.6.2*

I heard about this app on the Sonos Reddit page. I have created complexed sequences that allow me to single tap a button and have all of those steps done for me. Love it!

### 5/5 — Incredible app & Sonos Expansion

*2026-02-08*

I saw discussion of SonoSequencr on forums talking about using the app to add dedicated front right/left speakers to a Sonos soundbar and decided to give it a try. WOW! I’m blown away by the results. Setup wasn’t difficult with the app and a few searches on the forum for tips, and I’m blown away by the results. Incredible sound now from my Sonos home theater system. Why this isn’t supported on the official app is beyond me. The developer provides feedback and is constantly improving the app - which easily justifies to me that this is a paid app. Keep improving and engaging with users and I’ll keep evangelizing your app. Sonos really needs to hire this guy to fix their first party app and add these features, but maybe it’s working out well for both sides being like this.

### 5/5 — Fantastic Application!

*2026-02-07, version 9.6.2*

Take your time, read instructions or ask for help.  This app is truly amazing once you get the hang of it!

### 5/5 — Best decision ever made

*2026-02-07, version 9.6.2*

Bought some era 100s to pair with the arc ultra as fronts and it sounds amazing
