Ratings and Reviews
Almost perfect
I use the app several times daily and it’s really great. I use it 99 % of the time to control the speakers connected to my TV. The only grievance I have is that the app jumps out of the room I’m in, even if I controlled it only seconds ago (also tried with “open currently playing group”). This seems to have started after the last update.
Developer Response ,
Hi,
I wanted to check back with you and see if the issue has been fixed?
Kind regards,
Alexander Heinrich
Amazing little app
I have had my Sonos setup for a couple of years, but only now have I found Lyd! Amazing little app, works wonderfully. If you have a Sonos system and an Apple Watch, it’s a bargain considering the features you’re getting. Løp og kjøp!
Great Watch remote for Sonos
App works great and has most of the features you’d want, but some of the UI/UX could be improved.
• Every time you put your hand down and up, the app briefly shows the “Rooms” tab before navigating to the “Now playing”.
• I wish there was a way to edit and reorder the control list after pressing the three dots in the “Now playing” tab (…).
• The “room” should be named the same as the “system” names you define in the Sonos App. For example “Living Room” instead of “Sonos Arc + Sonos Move”
All in all - would recommend (but I hope the developer will make these changes!) 😁
Developer Response ,
Thanks for the points to improve. Currently when the app starts it needs to briefly show the rooms tab, because that’s how navigation works on watchOS.
Also I think the app shows the names that are set for each room, but I will double check that.
