Pros and cons of SonoControls: Widget for Sonos app for iPhone and iPad

SonoControls: Widget for Sonos app good for

It is a nice app for controlling the Sonos system. Its still useful nearly indispensable although Sonos has implemented lock screen controlling. What about Apple Watch support?

I have 2 zones with Play 1 speakers. I configured the app easily enough, locked my phone and then woke up the screen. Sure enough there were the Sonos zones and the buttons. I clicked play and it worked! I smiled :). The functionality is basic as you can do next, previous and the volume. It is definitely a must have app for people with Sonos speakers. A 1 month update: I changed my volume control to 5 so thr button is more sensitive. My wife and I love this app! It has made listening to my streaming music on sonos enjoyable again! I work from home quite a bit so this locked screen access is great for volume control or stopping the music for my many phone calls and conference calls!

I was hesitant to buy it. But Im actually happy with it. Just what I needed, a fast way to mute, pause or select next track.

Please make an Apple Watch version of this fantastic app! Keep up the great work! Being able to tap the album artwork to get to the Sonos app would be a nice addition.

Some bad moments

Works well with my play one whos was the first device I used it with, doesnt recognize my other Sonos devices

Makes it look like its the Sonos app but its not please refund

Waste of 2.99. Always says "unable to loud". Refunds coming????

The app makes it much easier to control Sonos with less clicks and swipes.

Works about 0.0001% of the time. The other 99% plus its just blank or indicates unable to load content. Waste of money. Wish I had my $2.99 back.
