SONOPHONE APP IS BETTER

After waiting now over two months for Sonos to solve the app problems there is a solution!

Try the Sonophone app from apple. It’s great. Not all features of the Sonos app but it works!  No lagging on volume and track inputs. No speakers turning on and off randomly. The frustration of the new Sonos app is gone.  Enjoy

Is it “from Apple”, or “available from the Apple Store”?

How do I add a new device in SonoPhone? 

You don’t per the app description.

If you spent $3 on the app expecting admin features I hear the dev will refund your money.

- no support for administrative features (adding/removing players, music service, ...). You need the official Apps for initial setup of your system, SonoPad will pick up all changes automatically.

- no options to set alarms or sleep settings

Good question. When I installed the app it located  all my Sonos speakers and found My Favourites and My Music. When I turned on my Sonos Roam it added it too. Magic.

I believe they mean if you bought a new device and had to add it to your system. Sonophone will find all your speakers though, even works with S1 I read, though I don’t have any to test.

I don’t know about a new device. I guess you could install the new device with the current Sonos 2 app and then control it with the Sonophone app.

Thanks to Sonophone I can use my turntable again via a Sonos Connect. This has been largely broken since the new app came out. Sonophone found the turntable immediately proving my system problems are directly the result of Sonos’s POS app.
