It is stuck at searching for speakers - both on my and wife’s phones. ### 1/5 — Stopped working on latest IOS 18.2.x *2025-01-20, version 1.2.0* When it works it was great but it has stopped working, will update the review if it starts working again but as of today, Dont buy if you have S1 kit, not sure if its same problem for S2, but latest update means it can’t see S1 or even non Sonos speakers. Stopped working from 18.2 and continue to not work on 18.2.1 ### 5/5 — Zuverlässiger Dunkelmodus-Support *2025-01-19* Eine großartige Ergänzung für Sonos-Nutzer, die mehr Features möchten. ### 5/5 — Fehlerfreie App-Performance *2025-01-18* Praktisch für die tägliche Kommunikation. ### 5/5 — Flawless app performance *2025-01-18, version 1.2.0* Practical for daily cọmmunication needs. ### 5/5 — Highly efficient intercọm *2025-01-17* Works perfectly with all my Sonos devices. ### 5/5 — Ein brillantes Sonos-Add-on *2025-01-17* Schnelle Wiedergabewiederherstellung ist unglaublich nützlich. ### 5/5 — Great for Sonos enthusiasts *2025-01-17* Broadcasting messages is so simple and effective. ### 5/5 — Highly functional app *2025-01-16* Dark mode makes it cọmfortable to use at night. ### 5/5 — Großartig für Benachrichtigungen *2025-01-16* Eine unverzichtbare App für Häuser mit Sonos-Lautsprechern. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 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. ### 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! ### 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. ### 1/5 — More Useless App Store Junk *2025-04-20, version 1.2.0* Just another piece of App Store garbage software. The app is incapable of finding a Sonos speaker on a WiFi network. Don’t waste your time or money. Zero stars. ### 1/5 — Used to be good but no more *2025-02-08, version 1.2.0* 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. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t support older SONOS system *2025-01-28, version 1.2.0* really enjoyed using this program while it worked on my older system. Since the update, it no longer works with older systems using the S1 controller. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 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. ### 5/5 — Zuverlässige Wiedergabe-Wiederherstellung *2025-01-22* Eine ideale App für jeden mit einem Sonos-Lautsprechersystem. ### 5/5 — Praktisch für Zuhause *2025-01-21* Das Gruppieren von Lautsprechern ist schnell und effizient, ein Muss! ### 5/5 — Effortless announcements *2025-01-21* The dark mode adds a stylish touch to this versatile app. ### 5/5 — Fun with voice effects *2025-01-21* Broadcasting messages via Sonos has never been this easy. ### 5/5 — Love the playback restore *2025-01-20, version 1.2.0* This app seamlessly connects Sonos speakers to intercọm features. ### 5/5 — Great for office spaces *2025-01-20, version 1.2.0* Broadcasting is clear and reliable across all speakers. ### 5/5 — Effortless setup and use *2025-01-20* Flawless performance in both dark and light modes. ### 5/5 — Spaßige Funktionen *2025-01-19* Nachrichtenübertragung mit dieser App ist schnell und einfach. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
