This application is not endorsed by or associated with Sonos, Inc. (which is why it is not free)

◆◆◆ a new intuitiv 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.

◆◆◆ home automation integration ◆◆◆
- you can start SonoPhone with the 'sonophone://' URL from other remote Apps. Its also possible to hand over a return URL, then a new icon is displayed to return to the automation App.
Further option include to select a default player or default menu, you can read more about all option on my homepage sonophone.net

◆◆◆ Limitations ◆◆◆

- all music services except Google Music are supported
- no playing of music stored on iPhone
- 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 ◆◆◆
- Sonos is registered trademark of Sonos, Inc.

Much better than the updated Sonos App

After the disastrous May24 Sonos App update that removed so much basic functionality it was such a relief to find this App on the AppStore. I can now add to queue, edit queue, browse services, etc.
The interface is much more intuitive than the Sonos App and response times seem faster too. All my devices and existing queues and playlists were found and available a few minutes after running the app the first time.
No alarms or sleep timers but I didn’t use them much from the Sonos app so no issues for me.
Maybe it was a good thing the May24 Sonos update was so bad otherwise I’d not have found Sonophone.

You saved me £347 with this app!

Amazing! This £2.99 app just saved me £347! My old gen 1 play 5 developed a so called irreparable memory fault and the only solution from Sonos after troubleshooting was to trade in for a new model at a cost of £350. I refused and searched for ways to still utilise the speaker even if it was just via the line in. This issue I had was that the Sonos app had the line in settings greyed out because the speaker needed an update that it couldn’t do due to the so called memory fault. I took a silly punt in this app. Incredibly it has paid dividends! The app has opened up the line in settings, streams radio and plays music! Chuffed to bits, I feel like I’ve persevered and won!

It just works….

Can’t fault it so far, downloaded with some trepidation after the Sonos May 24 Sonos update trashed itself, worried this might corrupt something. But no worries; a spotty learning curve of a few minutes and now sorted. I’ve invested quite a lot in the wonderful Sonos sound over the years, but it never works when it matters, ie friends around or whatever - always another pesky update. It’s scary how the whole system is so easily bricked by a shoddy app. It did not say on the box that you’d have to be online for seemingly hours at a time to keep it going! Thank heavens SonoPhone was there, at last another option.
