Since SONOS really messed up with the new APP and since they are supposedly working on it all the time to improve it - I have a strong suggestion, great idea and question for SONOS.

 

Why don’t you add volume control from an iPhone volume buttons back into the SONOS APP????

 

Just like in the old SONOS APP that worked fine, and in the award winning Spotify APP & Service - you should let users control the volume of their SONOS system by using the volume controls on the mobile device (i.e. iPhone). That is so much easier that trying to slide the slider, etc! In fact, I more often use the Spotify APP to play my music than the SONOS APP because of this feature.

Since there are so many features and setup options in the APP - you should allow the user to chose if they want to control volume by iPhone volume buttons or not!

You’re welcome of the great idea - please email when you add the feature!! Can’t wait!!

As has been discussed in so many other threads, Sonos has been blocked by Apple in doing so.

Hmmm…. I am new to the community and did see the other posts or threads. Thanks for your response. 
 

 Curious why Spotify get to do it? Is it because Sonos is more of a competitor to Apple than Spotify? Even though both are??

Spotify is a ‘player’ of data on/through the mobile device. Sonos is a remote control for a ‘player’ on a speaker, which merely accesses data elsewhere.
