### 1/5 — Not Free and doesn’t detect speakers

*2026-08-05, version 1.2.1*

👎

### 1/5 — Used to be good but no more

*2026-06-24, version 1.2.1*

Bought the app and it used to work. After updating to current version now it doesn’t see any of my Sonos speakers. Sent message to developer which was acknowledged, but there’s never been another update or fix in a month.

### 3/5 — Stopped working

*2026-05-27, version 1.2.1*

The app stopped working a few weeks ago. It is stuck at searching for speakers - both on my and wife’s phones.

### 1/5 — Don't buy

*2026-05-11, version 1.2.1*

Didn't find speakers anymore

### 1/5 — No longer works

*2026-05-08, version 1.2.1*

Did work really well. No longer works for me. Just a spinning red circle in middle of screen.

### 1/5 — No support whatsoever, app is now useless.

*2026-05-06, version 1.2.1*

This app worked good for the first month but shortly after I paid for it I lost connection from my devices and the app can not rediscover them I’ve tried everything that I could think of but no luck. I reached out to support several times but all I get is crickets, no support no replays to emails nothing at all. Glad they got my dollar though. Glad I was able to support them in a small way just wish they had the decency to to do the same, maybe they gave up and stopped supporting the app all together who knows. I just wish they give some sort of explanation.

### 1/5 — Suddenly stopped working!

*2026-04-17, version 1.2.1*

It was a good app and while it lasted, it did what it was supposed to do. However, a week ago, it just stopped working. I can't connect to any of my Sonos speakers. I've tried a soft reset of the app as well as deleting and starting over to no avail. Really disappointed. I paid for the app too and it's now a waste of money!

### 5/5 — Excellent

*2026-02-01, version 1.2.1*

Very excellent experience for controlling all the Sonos speakers at home. Hope to add a feature of using “Pre-recorded voice or music” and can be played in scheduled time, and hope to add more “Start Tone” and “Mic Reverb Effect”. Nice job!

### 5/5 — Fantastic!

*2026-01-26, version 1.2.1*

Needed a simple app for Sonos broadcast, this fit the bill. Had both text to speech and normal announcements.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work with S1 system No response from developer

*2025-05-16, version 1.2.0*

Worked a year ago with S1, but hasn’t in a long time. Developer does respond. I assume they’re not supporting the app any more, so don’t buy.
