◆◆◆ a new intuitiv and elegant user interface ◆◆◆
- SonoPad focusses on the main tasks in its user interface, making it less cluttered and easier to find your way around
- don't hide your covers in a small area, SonoPad give big room to show show your gorgeous covers all the time
- drag and drop zone management
- a classic dark theme
- 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!
- screensaver mode

◆◆◆ integrated browser for fast information retrieval ◆◆◆
- SonoPad knows what you are playing, the web knows even more
- pregenerated links and searches based on your playlist: you are just a tap away from Wikipedia, Lyrics search, Tourdates Search, Last.FM, YouTube, AllMusic, MusicBrainz and many more.

◆◆◆ 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? SonoPads default is to just start to play. A long press still gives you access to all options - you can also change the tap default on the settings screen. 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: on the bottom bar you have shortcut buttons for artist, albums, radio and musicservices. The Radios menu is rearranged so you are only two taps away from your radio favorites from any place.
- you can control the volume of every player directly from the players popup. No need to switch players anymore.

◆◆◆ Limitations ◆◆◆

- all music services except YouTube Music are supported
- No portrait mode on the main screen
- No playing of music stored on iPad
- 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 support for discontinued WD100 dock

◆◆◆ Other stuff ◆◆◆
- you can start SonoPad with the 'sonopad://' URL from other remote Apps. Its also possible to hand over a return URL and a default player to be selected. Read more about it on my blog!
- SonoPad shows artist names when browsing compilations
- Sonos is registered trademark of Sonos, Inc.

Works great!

I lost the ability to use my Sonos no thanks to Bell’s upgrade to fibre which requires a certain router that does not, for some reason, allow the Sonos controller to be installed. Fortunately, I discovered SonoPad. I gave it a try and it works perfectly. Thank you for creating this app!

Worked immediately no issue

I have an older sonos amp based system and play 3’s that’s s1 . An old iPad 2 from a drawer that’s iOS 9.3.2 does not work with sonos s1 I turned into a controller in a few minutes with this SonoPad app. Works great. App is intuitive and simple. Even displays more information than the sonos S1. Only thing I can’t seem to find is a search functionality. Five stars overall however.

Regarding the search , I just got a response directly from the developer ( thank you Stefan ) …Search is there, it’s part of each menu item, just not global. Great product overall I’m using it on a very old iPad, and latest iOS 15.2 on newer ipad and my iPhone. Definitely recommend.

Developer Response ,

Hi,

you will find the search function in each main menu (i.e. either under 'My Music' or within the respective music services). Its a menu item, not a dedicated icon.

Cheers
Stefan

There's no mute

Seriously? That's the main thing I was looking for. Is it hidden somewhere?

Developer Response ,

Hi WeeklyWebster,

the idea is to just the 'pause' button. It gives you all the features a 'mute' button gives you. And in addition you don't even miss anything from the track.

I actively decided against support a mute button, as this decision makes the userinterface much more cleaner, without omitting important functionality (that couldn't be handled just by pausing a track).
