Features & Capabilities

Lyd lets you control Sonos from your iPhone Home Screen, Lock Screen, or Apple Watch with instant widgets and Dynamic Island controls—no app to open and no unlock required. It supports Sonos S2 and is backward compatible with Sonos S1, giving you quick access to playback across multiple sizes of home screen and lock screen widgets.

The app also delivers a gold-standard Apple Watch remote with full playback control on your wrist, Digital Crown volume adjustment, and watch face complications. In addition, it offers Shortcuts and automation support, multi-room speaker grouping, and the ability to play playlists or radio, send voice messages, set sleep timers, enable guest mode, and manage multiple Sonos households. Best of all, it’s a one-time purchase with no subscription, and comes with a 14-day free trial for full feature access.

User Reviews

Lyd is highly praised for turning Sonos control into a wearable, widget-friendly experience with quick setup and intuitive use, often outperforming the official app. However, several users report reliability problems, especially on certain devices, and a subset experiences watch-specific glitches. Overall, it’s a powerful, well-regarded enhancement for Sonos users, with mixed results depending on hardware and updates.

Pros

Excellent Apple Watch and home screen widgets for Sonos control, letting you view and adjust playback, volume, and zones from your wrist.
Very quick setup and intuitive controls; many users report a smooth, reliable start-up and easy operation.
Extends Sonos with features some users miss in the official app (watch/lock screen control, multi-room handling, and direct hardware volume control), delivering a more capable experience.
Works across Apple Watch, iPhone, and different homes, with broad device compatibility and convenience.

Cons

Reliability can vary: a notable portion of users report the app not working or failing to install reliably, requiring reinstall or troubleshooting.
Watch-related reliability issues observed by multiple reviewers (watch complications disappearing, loading spinners, and unresponsive controls) indicate ongoing stability challenges on the wearable.

I just updated the app for my watch. To my surprise I now have a widget on my home screen to control Sonos! Thank you, thank you, thank you!

I’ve tried uninstalling and reinstalling several times and nothing works. What’s odd is when I had the trial version it worked just fine, since I’ve paid for the app it’s been totally useless

Although this doesn’t have the full music library integration of the official Sonos app it is still better than the official app in every way. Want a widget on your Home Screen that tells you what is playing? It’s got that. Want to change volume with your phone’s volume control? Yup that too plus a watch widget. Very well worth the money.
