Ratings and reviews

Did not fix my problem. Request refund with 3 minutes of install and was denied. Avoid. The Sonos app wont let me log into Plex anymore and it wont access my local music files on a network drive anymore. It did both before the update. I heard about Phonos and gave it a shot. It also cannot connect to Plex nor my local music share. I requested a refund within 3 minutes of install and was denied. I feel scammed.

It would be great if there was a help section. I can't get it ti recognize my Sonos 5. It found my 1 with zero effort but as part of my S2 system, and the 5 can only be on the S1 system app which doesn't work.

Two things that I find deficient in the sonos app this addresses. It shows the track quality. I use pocketcast for podcast and if you start a part listened podcast on the sonos app it starts it from the begining again. Additionally it seems to be benign in play list creation, adding the podcast to the list of music rather than creating an entire new list. I have a reasonable local music library so having the jump to letter feature will be a massive time saver.

What’s new

Fixes for Amazon Music display issues, for left speakers not showing (L), missing dates on some podcasts. Music tracks will auto-skip after thumbs-down (e.g. Pandora).
