Nevertheless the app is very basic and it’s a pity - it could really do with some TLC from the dev. Simple things would add a lot of value - like (1) clearer signposting of when the message you’ve sent it actually playing (vs a sort of “loading” style animation atm), (2) a chime before your voice is suddenly coming out of the speaker, and (3) a button to simply play across all speakers without having to go into menus. ### 4/5 — Connectivity is bad but overall it’s amazing! *2025-03-18, version 2.25* When I first got this app, it didn’t connect to my Sonos system but I thought it was just Sonos, because Sonos is Sonos but I just tried it again today and it’s amazing! I find it cuts out a bit and it’s not like holding a microphone but for a microphone on a speaker that was never meant to have a microphone connected is great! The only other annoying this is that it lags which is a huge minus but if that can be fixed it will be almost perfect. Also very fun to use with a sub. 😂 ### 1/5 — Ne fonctionne pas *2023-12-26* Très mauvaise appli ne fonctionne pas même la version payante !!! ### 1/5 — Did not work *2023-12-19, version 2.22* Did not work. ### 1/5 — Garbage doesn’t work *2023-11-19, version 2.22* Avoid. ### 1/5 — Does not work *2023-04-23, version 2.22* I want my $2 back ### 1/5 — Why is this still here? *2023-03-21, version 2.22* I guess it is no longer supported. Hasn’t been able to find my sonos for close to a year. It doesn’t work anymore. Unfortunate. I liked it when it worked. ### 1/5 — no longer works *2023-03-14, version 2.22* they haven’t updated it. it doesn’t work anymore ### 1/5 — Funktioniert nicht mit Sonos2 *2023-03-12* Leider funktioniert die App nicht mit Sonos2. Nicht empfehlenswert. ### 1/5 — Der letzte Dreck! *2023-01-02* Nach zweimonatiger Nutzung wird das Sonos System nicht mehr gefunden. Alle Updates eingespielt, kein Sonos System wird gefunden, schade ums Geld! ### 3/5 — Near while it worked. Broken now. *2022-12-23, version 2.22* We used this to call the kids to meals and such. Neat when it worked. Doesn’t even find my system now. Tried auto find and tried manually entering the IP address of one of the speakers. Doesn’t work any longer. ### 2/5 — No longer works *2022-12-20, version 2.22* This use to work and was amazingly helpful but it no longer works. Stopped working months ago. Please fix. ### 1/5 — Vorsicht Schrott *2022-09-04* Funktioniert garnicht, unbrauchbar kostet nur Geld👎🏼 ### 1/5 — Won’t connect toSonos *2022-08-27, version 2.22* Have home Sonos system won’t connect ### 3/5 — Delay on audio, and echo? *2022-05-20, version 2.22* App seems simple to use. Pointless for what I’d like to use it for - speaker system at a wedding. It has a pronounced delay, and an awful echo that makes it sound like a Halloween performance. It would also be nice not to have to hold down the button to talk, instead have the option to turn off and on (for speeches). Requested an immediate refund from Apple as its not fit for my use. ### 3/5 — Doesn’t work !!! *2022-05-15, version 2.22* Worked for the old Sonos system but doesn’t for the new Sonos ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Used to work, doesn’t anymore *2026-03-08, version 2.25* Won’t find Sonos devices anymore, don’t waste your money ### 1/5 — Does not work! Scam *2025-03-07, version 2.25* Does not work! Scam ### 1/5 — Klappt leider nicht wirklich *2024-12-29* Leider klappt es nicht. Meistens kommt nichts aus den speakern und manchmal nur ganz abgehackt, dass man nichts versteht… Normalerweise habe ich bei keinen Apps Probleme mit Sonos und mein wlan ist auch sehr gut. Also da dran liegt es nicht… Schade ### 1/5 — Funktioniert nicht *2024-11-02* Seit dem Sonos-Update funktioniert es nicht mehr ### 1/5 — Never works *2024-10-20, version 2.25* Waste of space & time! Never connects to Sonos ### 1/5 — Don’t buy *2024-09-09, version 2.25* Terrible delay that could be briefly fixed but it would revert. ### 1/5 — Keine Funktion mehr nach neustem Sonos Update *2024-06-23* Nach dem neuesten Sonos Update wird kein Ton mehr abgespielt, obwohl das System gefunden wird und das kopieren von Räumen weiterhin möglich ist. ### 1/5 — Keine Übertragung *2024-03-03* Aktuell keine Funktion. Bitte fixen ### 1/5 — If it ain’t broke don’t fix it *2024-01-15, version 2.23* Loved this app but after the most recent update (2 days ago) for “bug fixes” it no longer works on mine or my wife’s phone - previous update was 4 years ago and it’s worked very well ever since I downloaded it a couple of years back; now it can’t find my Sonos system. ### 1/5 — Aktuelles Update-Fehlerhaft *2024-01-14* Nacht dem heutigen Update findet die App kein Sonos-System mehr! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great app *2024-11-18, version 2.25* Terrific app and amazing support. Thank you ### 5/5 — Works great with Sonos! *2024-04-10, version 2.25* Easy to use, turns my multi-zone Sonos system into an intercom, including out into the barn (which is on the same WiFi). Easy to group and ungroup zones too. Fantastic little tool! ### 5/5 — Question about future *2024-02-04, version 2.25* Great app but could there be a feature to keep the mic open, or is there already an app for this ### 5/5 — Works perfectly *2023-07-10, version 2.22* Sometimes it’s fantastic when things just do exactly what they say they will. Worth every penny and turned my Sonos system into a whole house intercom without any extra work. ### 5/5 — Voll gut......man kann immer so fein die Kids rufen *2021-04-07* !! ### 5/5 — Funktioniert super *2021-01-30* Sehr einfache Bedienung, kein Schnickschnack. Genau sowas haben wir gesucht. Die Kinder ohne Brüllen zum Essen bitten, während ein Hörspiel läuft Wir lieben die App schon nach 15 Minuten. Es ist erstaunlich, dass man den Kindern direkt etwas sagt und es überhört wird... kommt aber die gleiche Elternstimme aus dem Sonos raus reagieren sie sofort 🤪😎 ### 5/5 — Worth the $2 to freak out my kids *2020-09-12, version 2.22* Yelling in the house just went down 50% ### 5/5 — Great app!! And one suggestion *2020-06-04, version 2.22* Really great app. Worked just as well as I hoped it would. Makes using my Sonos a lot more fun! One feature request — an “always on” mode. So I can leave it on and talk to people with the app open. It would make it easier so I don’t have to press and hold every time. Thanks! Really good app. 🙂 ### 5/5 — Oh yes *2020-05-31, version 2.22* My life is complete. Now I can send creepy messages to my kids at four in the morning and scare the bejeezus out of them. And interrupt their arguments to get them to do their chores. It has a slight delay but I don’t care about that. Needs a voice changer built in so I can sound like sauron or some monster from the deep. Nice work :) ### 5/5 — Works Instantly *2019-12-08, version 2.22* Works super easy & right away!!! So grateful for this app! Wonderful to be able to send announcements to kids in different rooms or the back yard over the Sonos speakers. They can talk back using the app. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
