Not an April joke. ​@controlav is real. 

Even if true. The December 31, 2024 comment below (see highlight) regarding iOS gives me pause. I’m an iOS user and everything works for me using the Sonos App. I don’t need any challenges.

Here at Phonos Central we would like to wish all our customers a Very Happy New Year. 2024 has been a major challenge for Sonos themselves, revealing we cannot rely on them for quality apps and support, so for 2025 we hope to ship an all-new Sonos app, "Phonos Ultimate". What makes this one different? Well the biggest feature is that it can run on every platform, from the same code-base. This means we can ship the exact same great app on Windows, MacOS and Android. (iOS has some challenges).

Reliability is the most important feature of these new apps, but you won't find every feature in them, just yet. There are some new ones though: it supports multiple systems simultaneously (both S1 and S2), has a great new Devices view, and shows Explicit tracks, among other long-wanted improvements.

A preview of the Windows version is in the Store now and the Android version is in private testing.

​@AjTrek1, He had been trying to advertise his third-party Sonos apps. That’s called marketing. 

And your point is??? I have no problem with the advertising aspect. Only the section I highlighted in yellow. As I said I use iOS and if it’s going to have challenges (glitches or whatever)...I’m not in.

I’m pretty sure the entire FB post is an April Fool’s prank.

The iOS app has already been released in 2020, if memory serves me right.

The iOS challenges I was referring to are both technical (broadcastable socket bug in .NET), logistical (really not looking forward to going through the App Store submission process for a new app) and practical (my Mac is broken).

That was the old app, not the one that is the subject of my April Fool post. (It was built with an older XCode so doesn’t have the socket problem I referred to above).
