SonoPhone for Sonos vs KlingKlang

Yes. There's a better way to control your Sonos system. - Speeds up most common tasks (less taps) - Cleaner, more stable and fast interface. - Backward compatibility is king (we support Sonos S1 firmware and also iOS15 devices) - Manage zones and music sources. You control your Sonos. Not the other way around. See the features in action on YouTube (https://youtu.be/aMEuaZPUH58) or read more below. This application is a third party app and not endorsed by or associated with Sonos, Inc. (which is why it is not free) ◆◆◆ A new, intuitive and concise user interface ◆◆◆ SonoPhone is designed to leverage the latest iOS design principles: - Tap or drag the player on the top and you'll find the players view to select a new player and with volume controls for all players. From here you can also enter Zone Management, where you can group and ungroup players with drag and drop. - Tap or drag the Track infos on the bottom and you'll be at the big covers screen - Drag the main menu from any place to the left or right to have instant access to playlist or shortcuts - volume + progress popups: when changing volume or progress of a song, you get popups telling you the actual values. Stop guessing your desired values today! ◆◆◆ less taps for common tasks ◆◆◆ SonoPad tries to optimize most often used tasks to have the least taps needed. In the end you are able to navigate and control your players much more fluently. - Touch To Play: are you sick of always beeing asked what to do when you tap a track or album? SonoPhone defaults to just starting an album or song. A long press still gives you access to all options - you can also change the tap default in the settings menu. Want to build a playlist fast? Just set the default to 'always add to end' and off you go ... - tap an album cover image and the whole album starts to play immediately - aggregated search: search results are collapsed into one view, so you see immediately in what category you have the best results, without switching back and forth - shortcuts to most used functions: drag the main menu to the right to get shortcut buttons for artist, albums, radio and musicservices. - you can control the volume of every player directly from the player selection screen. No need to switch players anymore. ◆◆◆ S1 and S2 devices in one app ◆◆◆◆ - If you still have old S1 devices, the time of always having to change apps is over. We simply display all existing players in the network in one list. Grouping is unfortunately not possible, this is prevented by Sonos. ◆◆◆ Limitations ◆◆◆ - all music services except YouTube Music are supported - no support for administrative features (adding/removing players, music service, ...). You need the official Apps for initial setup of your system, SonoPad will pick up all changes automatically. - no options to set alarms or sleep settings - no playing of music stored on iPhone - no support for discontinued WD100 dock ◆◆◆ Other stuff ◆◆◆ - Sonos is registered trademark of Sonos, Inc.

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.
