Sonomote app for iPhone and iPad
Developer: Peder Nordvaller
First release : 27 Jan 2014
App size: 4.13 Mb
Note: This app is not an official SONOS app.
SONOMOTE is solely a volume controller app for SONOS. Why another app which only controls volume when SONOS already have an app? Well, this app:
1) Starts up very fast, reducing time until you can adjust volume from your phone.
2) Controls volume on all SONOS devices or zones from a single view, reducing time spent navigating to a specific room.
3) Can control the volume of a specific device even from your locked iPhone and/or by adjusting your phone volume buttons (!), allowing your phone to control SONOS volume without unlocking your phone and starting an app.
All in all, this makes adjusting volume on your SONOS devices very fast.
Note: This app requires uPNP is enabled and allowed on your wifi network / router (usually enabled by default), and no traffic is blocked between your iOS device on the network and the Sonos devices. Note also that the skip song controls on the lock screen is used to move between Sonos devices/zones and NOT to skip songs.
Latest reviews of Sonomote app for iPhone and iPad
This does exactly what it says it does, and solves a very nice problem especially if you dont have a 5s (touchID) and use a phone with a password. With this app, you can put volume controls on your home screen when youre watching TV so that you can control the volume without even having to unlock the phone. Great for parents too who are trying not to mess with the phone while with their kids.
Volume bounces up and down randomly with the app open. Not useable in its current state. Perhaps its an iOS9 compatibility issue. An update would be appreciated.
This is a very disappointing program. It doesnt work with the iPhone and the controls jump all over the place and do everything except control the volume. The volume buttons dont work either. Hopefully the return policy is better than the programming.
