This app cannot setup a new Sonos system or make configuration changes such as adding or removing devices. You must use the official app for that.

Ratings and reviews

seems not much different from sonos app. (might be I'm only using the s2 compatible deivces). I area to improve is the support for Japanese/Chinese fonts. all those Chinese characters and Japanese characters are blanked off

This is outstanding. After 8 years, I almost scrapped all of my Sonos devices and moved on due to the useless Sonos apps. Your apps (Android and Windows) have made Sonos usable again. I even bought a new Sonos Era 300 (which sounds great) and am a happy Sonos customer again. Thank you! Sonos should pay you Millions of $ to buy your app and replace theirs. I would buy another 20 Sonos hardware devices if they did that.

Good, but still a work in progress. Refreshing that this app does what Sonos claimed it couldn't. With more development this will be an absolute winner. I still struggle to use my Roam with it, which can be frustrating and the playlists can be a bit awkward at times, but at least they work unlike the Sonos S2 app. Keep up the good work.
