## Review summary

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
