Plans for Apple watch app in near future?

I have been using Sonobit on my iPhone and Apple Watch, which works well for me. I have no affiliation, just a satisfied user.

It might be worth a look.

Thank your for your reply!

I prefer using a dedicated SONOS-app, instead of an app from third-party developers.

Please can we have an apple watch app? Even something as simple as a play/pause button would be better than nothing at all

Not an Apple Watch user, but there were reports the iOS lock screen Play/Pause controls that came with version 6.3 are also available on the Apple Watch.

I haven't tried this with my Apple Watch yet (only got it about a week ago now), but if this does work, it would show up on the "Now Playing" function on the Apple Watch. I don't believe there's a specific "app" for Now Playing... the only way I've found to get there is through the "Dock" button.

Edit: Apparently Now Playing is available within the Music app. I don't use iTunes to manage my music, and don't pay for Apple Music, so I had removed the Music app from my phone, keeping it from showing up on my watch. However, the Now Playing function still exists in the dock on my watch.

If someone from Sonos is looking into this, it would be helpful to use Wifi proximity to the speakers to determine what would show up on the watch. i.e. When I walk into my living room, it would show the living room Sonos speaker even if I had previously used the app to control a different room.

As an avid Sonos fan, an Apple watch app would be of great benefit. The phone is not always right there when you want to change songs or volume. Yes there are a few third party applications but I agree with Raven1987 regarding the preference to using a dedicated Sonos app. Come on Sonos. It's been nearly two years since Apple watch was released and even longer since it was announced. I think that's time enough to provide this service to your loyal customers don't you? It's not the money. I think I can afford the $5 or so for a third party app - I have bought Sonos appliances after all 🙂 - It's the principal of the thing. You have produced the phone app which is great, please spend a little more and provide us with an Apple watch addition. Thank very much.

WHY can't you all use the various 3rd party apps. There is no reason for Sonos to re-invent the wheel. There is nothing wrong with using one of the 3rd party apps. (I'm not sure why someone would say they prefer not to other then saving a couple dollars).

Because Chris, I don't want yet another app on my phone doing what the Sonos app should be able to do. It's as simple as that. Sonos are being lazy. It's the same with Youtube. I can't play Youtube on Sonos and I've had to do just this - use a third party app. If you think it's about the money, I'm more than happy to PAY Sonos a couple of bucks if they'd improve their app. Regards, David

Well then you can just sit with no Apple Watch app. As answer to why not use one of the great third party watch apps appears to be hard headedness.
