KlingKlang puts every room of your Sonos system on one screen. KlingKlang is built natively for Apple devices, so it feels fast and responsive, and it speaks to your speakers directly over your own home network. There is no account to create, no subscription, no adverts, and nothing collecting information about you. WHAT IT DOES • Every room on one screen. A tile for each room shows what is playing. Tap one to open it, press and hold to group. • Put rooms together, or take them apart. Send one song to the whole home, or give the kitchen something of its own. One button groups everything at once, and another undoes it. • Volume that behaves. Open a group and every speaker inside it appears with a slider of its own. Turn the television down while the rest of the room carries on, or move the group slider and they all follow, keeping the balance you set. Your phone's volume buttons change the room you are listening to, not the phone. • Bass and treble, per speaker. A proper equaliser for each speaker, loudness included, a tap away from the room. • Control from the lock screen. Play, pause and skip without opening the app, with the album art in front of you, and a Live Activity that keeps the room you are listening to one tap away. • Your own music files. Browse the music on your home server or NAS, folder by folder, and play a whole folder in order or shuffled. • The services you already pay for. Reach the streaming services and radio stations set up on your system, along with the favourites and playlists saved in your Sonos account. • The queue, in front of you. See what is coming next, drop a track you have gone off, or clear the lot. • A record player through the whole house. Speakers with a line-in socket can send whatever is plugged into them to every other room. • Alarms and a sleep timer. Wake up to a room, or let the music stop by itself. • Speaker firmware. See which version each speaker is on, and install the one Sonos offers, without going back to the Sonos app. PRIVACY KlingKlang talks to your speakers and to nothing else. It cannot send your listening habits anywhere, because there is nowhere for them to go: no server of ours is involved at any point. If your internet connection drops, the app carries on working, because your speakers are sitting on your own network. WHAT YOU NEED An iPhone or iPad on iOS 18 or later, with Sonos speakers on the same Wi-Fi network. The first time you open it, iOS asks permission to find devices on your local network. KlingKlang needs it to discover your speakers and notice when something changes. Made in Baselland, Switzerland. KlingKlang is made by us, not by Sonos. We are not connected with Sonos, Inc. in any way, and they have neither approved nor sponsored this app. We mention their name only so you know which speakers KlingKlang works with. Sonos is a trademark of Sonos, Inc.

KlingKlang's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 60%) and ads (none vs shown). On in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
