User Reviews

Sono+: Widgets for Sonos is praised for fast, convenient widget-based control (grouping/volume/track) and strong developer support, plus solid value as a Sonos UI shortcut. However, reliability issues (widgets blank), cross‑version compatibility problems (iOS/iPadOS), major 2.0 changes that removed volume control and required repurchase, slower UI/UX, and household-switch bugs are recurring negatives across multiple reviews.

Pros

Quick, convenient control of Sonos via widgets (grouping/volume/track) without opening the full Sonos app
Lock Screen and Home Screen widgets provide fast, at-a-glance access
Developer is passionate, responsive, and actively improves the app
Strong alternative to the native Sonos app and worth the price for quick control

Cons

Widgets can be unreliable, often appearing blank or failing to load
Compatibility issues across iOS/iPadOS versions (notably iOS 13/14, iOS 18, iPadOS 14)
2.0 changes removed key features like volume control and forced repurchase, causing confusion
UI/UX changes have slowed performance and felt less intuitive compared to earlier versions
Multi-household switching bugs can misroute you to the wrong household

Recent reviews

If you’re like me, the past few years have been a rocky relationship with the once rock solid Sonos. Dropped speakers, long delays in the app (even after “improvements”) and buggy software. Hardwiring into the router didn’t help. All of which led me to Reddit, which led me to Sono+. It makes using Sonos a joy. I had forgotten what it was like to have lightning fast functionality. And perhaps best of all is that the developer is incredibly passionate and responsive. All feedback I’ve provided has been followed-up with thoughtful responses. A great experience in all regards. Thanks for saving my Sonos!

Best Sonos widget app. Better than native.

Nice alternative to the native SONOS app. Simple design with the setting you need to access quickly. Only suggestion would be to tap to the left/right of the volume slider vs. having to hold and slide.
