It doesn’t work. ### 1/5 — Does not sync *2024-10-24* Doesn’t work - paid for nothing, do not download ### 1/5 — Sonos watch app 6 months on *2024-06-09* I can open the app and even control my speakers but I’d I choose the ‘sync with iOS app’ it freezes and I have to reconnect again and again. ### 1/5 — Does not sync with iWatch *2023-11-29* It fails to do the basic function it is designed to do. ### 1/5 — Waste of time *2023-09-26* Very hard to sync and use ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2023-09-24* Cool concept but doesn’t work on new iOS ### 1/5 — Won’t sync *2023-09-02, version 1.0.1* This is garbage. ### 1/5 — Excellent *2023-07-21* Didn’t know how to adjust the volume but once I did a little reading I’m very happy with this app. ### 1/5 — Sonowatch *2023-03-28* Followed instructions, won’t sync, tried several options, no bueno ### 1/5 — Horrible *2022-12-28* Hi there, I just downloaded this app and it works great on my iPad but on my Apple Watch it doesn't even download I have tried many different ideas but none of them work. ### 1/5 — Terrible *2022-07-20* Unreliable and does not work ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Not good *2026-06-06* Doesn’t stayed synched with watch—continuously re-synching. ### 1/5 — No impressed *2026-03-24* Can’t sync with iwatch ### 1/5 — Won’t sync *2026-01-14* I have tried everything and it won’t sync. I want my money back ### 1/5 — Unreliable Connection *2026-01-06* Every time I open the watch app, it tells me I have no So os households. I have log out on the phone and log back in. It sometimes works then, but frequently not. Great concept, but so unreliable as to be unusable. ### 1/5 — Drops sync all the time *2025-09-27* Rarely have I went to my watch and had it work. Usually have to disconnect from my account, find my phone, do the sync dance and good for a day. Sync is rubbish. Watch and phone app say success but no household found. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work anymore *2025-09-19* 👎🏼 ### 1/5 — SonoWatch *2025-07-13, version 1.0.1* Is garbage it doesn’t connect ### 1/5 — Horrible App *2025-07-12* This app NEVER connects to my watch. Completely frustrating. The first gen app was a thousand times better. ### 1/5 — Not working *2025-07-04* This app is erratic, or I'm not using it correctly. ### 1/5 — Very Finicky *2025-03-22* This app is very limited on what it can do on your watch, and it’s function are slow. As of lately, I have to sync my phone with my watch every time I want to use it; so that defeats the purpose. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Love it… BUT… *2025-08-08* It works amazing, when it is connected and working. Unfortunately it disconnects from my Sonos unit every single day. Which is a drag because you just need to reset it up every time. I do not know why it does that, but I heard this is a common issue which I wish they would fix. ### 5/5 — Works well for me. *2025-03-04, version 1.0.1* A rare purchase from the App Store for me. Reasonable price. Been using it for many years now. Rarely any issues and those are likely due to changes in iPhone or iWatch configurations or updates. No more than any other app; less I’d say. I have only one older SONOS speaker in my bedroom I love to listen to in bed. Sometimes I think this app works better than the SONOS software, plus I can control basic speaker functions using my iWatch while in bed. This is so convenient, especially in the middle of the night when getting out of bed would disturb my partner and disrupt my sleep hygiene. I love this app and was surprised to find something solid and useful with an older SONOS speaker considering the many chaotic changes I’ve been through over the last decade or two with native SONOS software. If not for this app I’d probably toss my old SONOS speaker and get something similar from Google or Amazon. Not sure why there are so many bad reviews here, but I’d suspect user errors, hardware/software configuration issues, lack of basic software and network skills, or unrealistic expectations. I consider this one of the best of my Apple iPhone or iWatch purchases. It has a simple interface that’s reliably worked for me for many years through two iPhones, two iWatches, and many iOS updates and upgrades, not to mention the cluster eff of SONOS software and hardware evolution. I’m happy with this app and thank the author for their clever design, reasonable price, intuitive UI, bulletproof functioning and continued support. I highly recommend it. ### 5/5 — It’s worth it *2024-04-23* You just have to wait that it’s connecting but then it flows like molten butter 😎💯 ### 5/5 — Works Great *2023-08-22* Using my watch to quickly mute or adjust the volume, is exactly what this app will do. If Sonoswatch was the last app you used then just double click the crown and tap mute, when you exit the app the speakers are unmuted. For me this is perfect. ### 5/5 — Just what I wanted! *2023-05-24* Easy setup (install app, launch app from phone, log into Sonos). Let’s me control volume and play/pause music from my watch. My only minor complaint is the icon (watch complication icon). If it could have a black background with white icon it would “blend” in better. But functionality it works great! ### 5/5 — Works Perfectly *2023-04-08* Works perfectly. Thank heavens for this app. Finally I have a way to control my Sonos speakers from my watch. ### 5/5 — SonoWatch great App *2023-01-04* SonoWatch is so convenient to control my Sonos Beam speaker for my TV from my Apple Watch. I have it set up as a complication. If the phone rings I can turn the volume down very quickly without finding TV remote. Plus I can turn up the sound if I walk into a room farther away to keep hearing what I’m listening to by tapping and rolling the Watch stem to quickly turn up the sound. ### 5/5 — Buy it *2022-12-29* I love this watch ### 5/5 — A great addition for any Sonos system *2022-03-05* It’s worth owning an Apple Watch simply to use the SonoWatch app. It’s so handy for quickly controlling volume, moving forward and back in a playlist, and pausing playback. Tech support was a quick email and prompt reply. All top-notch. **Developer response:** Hi, It's great to hear that you like the app and thanks so much for your great review 👍 ### 2/5 — It works. Easy deal *2024-03-26, version 1.0.1* 👍🏼 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
