Works fine (Update to “Has one fatal flaw” - I figured out my issue
BNWINSF
I wanted to update my previous 2 star review and change it to 4 stars. After reading a poor review where the developer reminded that reviewer to tap on the name of the room to select the room, and only tap on the button to group the rooms. I realized this was my issue. Once I saw that and tested it, the app worked as advertised. It’s quite nice. If I have one quibble it’s that it wasn’t that clear to me that this was my problem.
Developer Response
Hi BNWINSF,Thank you for the feedback and taking the time to review. For the next update I’ll work on making it clearer to tap room-name to select select room.Thanks again,Paul EDIT: Hi BNWINSF, Version 1.4.0 is now out and it is much more user intuitive around grouping. Hopes this solves previous issues. Thanks again for the feedback. Paul
New version took away the useful widget
__metamatt__
I bought this for one feature: control of already playing music from home and lock screen. The new 2.0 release replaced the useful old style widget with a new style widget that only launches favorites, AND did not update the help or announce this so I spent a bunch of time scratching my head and playing with settings trying to figure out why the documented thing that used to work does not work. Bring back the old widget please. Update: old widget is still there after device reboot. This is the case documented in the help, but the help didn’t make it clear to me that “unable to load” meant the widget is entirely and silently missing from the list of widgets to add, as opposed to the widget is added but doesn’t show up on the today screen or shows up with an error. Even after reading the help carefully I had no idea this was describing the state I was in. The iOS widget configuration isn’t really the dev’s fault but it’s still a really clunky experience.
Developer Response
Hi __metamatt__,Thanks for letting me know, I’ve a new version out with an updated help section better explaining this.Since the introduction of the new widgets in iOS14, the original Today Style Widgets have been deprecated by Apple. Unfortunately I have no control over this but customers have told me that a device restart has made the original widget re-appear for them. This is only a work around and will probably not continue to work in the long term. I am committed to the development of this app and will continue to support it and improve the functionality.Many thanks,Paul
Seems like a good app but I could never get it to run on iOS14
Pcola p
Seems like a good app and definitely should fill a need for sonos but I could never get iOS14 to recognize app in today widgets. I understood that it would not be on the Home Screen but I understood from the description that it could be added to the swipe right today widgets. This may be possible but I couldn’t seem to get it to work even with restarting the phone several times.Okay finally figured it out. In iOS 14 after hitting the edit button on the bottom of the widgets you must again scroll all the way down to the book of the widgets and hit the customize button. Got it to work and am updating rating
Developer Response
Hi Pcola p,I am delighted that this is all working correctly for you and thank you for updating your review. If you have any further issues please email via the app and I will be in touch.Thanks, Paul
Sono+ Saves Sonos
TonyB625
If you’re like me, the past few years have been a rocky relationship with the once rock solid Sonos. Dropped speakers, long delays in the app (even after “improvements”) and buggy software. Hardwiring into the router didn’t help. All of which led me to Reddit, which led me to Sono+. It makes using Sonos a joy. I had forgotten what it was like to have lightning fast functionality. And perhaps best of all is that the developer is incredibly passionate and responsive. All feedback I’ve provided has been followed-up with thoughtful responses. A great experience in all regards. Thanks for saving my Sonos!
Now Playing Controls: Brand new for iOS27, natively control playback and volume directly from;
• The Lockscreen
• Dynamic Island
• Control Centre
• Apple Watch
You can now also adjust volume for individual rooms in a group directly from the Control Centre, all without opening the app.
Custom Background: Now choose photos from your own library as your custom background in the main screen.
Bug Fixes: As with every version I'm always fixing bugs and making performance improvements.
Version 3.4.0
