What's New in Soro

5.0.4

October 10, 2026

▶ Comprehensive redesign to improve usability, performance and reliability. ▶ Unified Search * Efficiently search and filter across your Sonos Favorites, Sonos Playlists, Sonos Music Library, and connected music services * Search directly from Siri AI: “Find the album Get Mean by Boy Harsher in Soro” ▶ Home Screen Widgets * Now Playing: View current Sonos playback details, pick/configure rooms, adjust volume, play/pause, skip * Quick Access: Jump into search, open queue/EQ/grouping or music services * Collections: Quick access to items in your favourite collections (iPadOS and iOS 27 only) ▶ New Lock Screen Control and Dynamic Island * On iOS 27 Soro is now integrated with the system media controls on the Lock Screen and in Control Center to allow better integration with system features such using the hardware buttons for volume control ▶ Siri Al * On iOS 27, ask Siri to play music with Soro, check what's playing on your speakers or learn more about what's on screen in Soro * Ask Siri what's playing in Soro or on Sonos: “What's playing in Soro?” * Use Siri AI's conversational answers and broad world knowledge for open-ended music discovery, then ask to play it in Soro * Use Siri's onscreen awareness to play or find music you are looking at in other apps or Siri mode in the camera app * When in Soro, you can ask Siri for more details of the music you are looking at, either on the Now Playing screen or when browsing and looking at an album or artist * Siri can also run the custom Shortcuts you built with the various Soro actions in the Shortcuts app. You can fine tune the logic you want to execute and tell the name of Shortcut to Siri to run it ▶ Share Sheet * Start playing music directly from supported apps (Apple Music, Spotify and Bandcamp) by using the share sheet ▶ Focus Filter * Set the default room or group for the focus modes, set the bedroom speaker for winding down or the kitchen one for your morning routine 5.0.4: - Fixes the issue that prevented the older deprecated legacy actions from running. After this fix they should keep working at least until the next major iOS release. - New action: - Favorite Track (in Music Service) - Adds the track currently playing in the selected room or group to the favorites/library in its music service. Only limited number of services are supported currently, most importantly Spotify. This also work from the now playing screen as well. - Updated actions: - Add track to Sonos Playlist - Favorite track in Apple Music (on this device) - Add track to Apple Music playlist (on this device) By default they take the action on the current track of the currently selected room/group in Soro, while allow selecting the room or the music item (from a preceding action) in the Shortcuts editor - VoiceOver support - Speech Enhancement option in Sonos Settings now controls both the regular and Arc/Beam Ultra soundbars, AI Speech Enhancement allows setting the level on Arc/Beam Ultra - Speaker discovery improvements in Shortcuts actions - Improved Spotify Connect and Airplay support - Improved long-press menus in the now playing screen and music browser - Adds permission prompt that prevented some Apple Music menu actions working properly. - Fixes the error message that may appear when the new Connectivity Assist feature switches to cellular connection intermittently to work around potential Wifi issues. That should apply only to internet facing traffic, Soro was showing the message incorrectly. 5.0.2: Fixes a regression that may cause shortcut action execution errors. 5.0.1: Fixes the lock screen/control centres controls not appearing issue when the room/group name starts with special characters.

Setting loudness doesn't work

Not sure when this broke but using the new set loudness action does not do anything for my speakers. Toggling night mode is fine...

An excellent app

And it continues to get better. All the shortcuts make interacting with Sonos so much easier. Appreciate the quality of life improvements that are continue to be made.

Apple Watch shortcut

Apple Watch is unable to run shortcut without asking permission each time

Super App mit einer Schwäche

Die App an sich ist super gestaltet, braucht jedoch ewig um sich mit meinem Sonos System zu verbinden/dieses zu finden. Aus diesem Grund brauchen auch Shortcuts etc. lange zum ausführen (teilweise ne knappe Minute). Ansonsten ist die Möglichkeit Shortcuts zu erstellen noch nie so einfach für Sonos gewesen und die App hält, was sie verspricht.

Unleashes the Sonos

This app is fantastic! It opens up the versatility of use for your Sonos system. I have 13 speakers and Soro allows me to make creative shortcuts and automations to run favorite playlists, group and ungroup, set volumes individually, and a host of other things with one touch shortcuts. I can even set the timers to more than 4hrs.

The app’s interface itself is not the power of this app for me. It’s just ok really.. It’s the ability to do so much with Apple shortcuts and automating that makes this app wonderful.
