Ratings and reviews

Good - fast fast fast. gives you most of the functionality of the Sonos app, plus some extra like manual internet radio stations. that's....about it. oh, it's fast. Bad - no Material design? the UI is not good at all. elements are super tiny and difficult to hit all the time. foldable support is not great. Suggestions - link up volume control to hardware button, add a notification bar with controls, material design, foldable compatibility (so app doesn't restart when opening and closing phone)

I've been using this app as a replacement for the Sonos app, and I must say, I'm thoroughly impressed! This app allows me to enjoy music throughout my home with my nine different speakers, and it vastly improves upon the qualities and features of the existing Sonos app. The user interface is pretty intuitive and responsive, making it easy to manage multiple speakers seamlessly. Overall, a fantastic upgrade that enhances my listening experience. Highly recommend!

This app is a godsend especially during this time where the Sonos app is in a horrendous state. This app is snappy and smooth when it comes to playing, pausing, skipping, and adjusting volume, it makes me actually want to use my Sonos speakers. The Sonos app has you hit a single button and then wait for so long for the app and your devices to respond it has you thinking it will never work but from now on I don't need to worry because this app has solved those problems. A+++
