◆◆◆ 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 yet.
- No playing of music stored on iPad yet
- 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.

Clever, useable, sometimes elegant

I got this app in the hope of replacing the overly complex Sonos App, and so far am impressed, mostly. There is a shallow learning curve before one can successfully add to or delete from playlists using SonoPad. But it is generally more intuitive than the official app. One thing that is took me some time to do was add tracks without accidentally starting them playing. All a matter of touching and holding, in the right place. Like making love to a beautiful woman, as Swiss Tony might’ve said back in the day. (-: Unlike Swiss, I would love for there to be a stop button that is easily reached, but the developer tells me that this is not currently planned in order to ‘keep the interface simple + pragmatic.’

Much better that Sonos App

Having spent hours faffing about resetting older devices, reinstating, updating them so they work again, having to use two official apps to operate one household system and forgetting which speaker belonged to which app (Sonos what were you thinking?) SonoPad is a Godsend. What a surprise learn that having downloaded SonoPad all my devices, music services, playlists etc were already installed and ready to use. Still getting to know SonoPad but one particular favourite is ability to call up Wikipedia and other sites to get further information, lyrics etc about track and artist been played. Who now needs Roon? Highly recommended to any Sonos user.

Just brilliant

Thank you so very much for creating such a fantastic app for us poor souls who look after our gear and don’t go out buying new stuff all the time. First Sonos removed some functionality from the official controlling app and then stopped any ability to play music from any iPad or iPhone with less iOS below 10. They don’t care about the users who helped them in the past. They continue adding so called improvements which move away from their core purpose. But this app is very refreshing as it is so I intuitative and works beautifully. A great improvement and worth every penny. Works and is visually good. Thank you
