An alternative controller app for your Sonos music system. Designed for iOS with simplicity and usability in mind. With handy Today Widget, ** Apple Watch App ** and Apple Music sharing extension!
ZonePlay aims to make the tasks you perform most often with Sonos as easy as possible. At its core is a single screen summary of your zones with basic playback, grouping and volume controls and a quick pick list of your Sonos favourites.
ZonePlay provides full access to your network music library & TuneIn radio with full queue and playlist management functionality.
There is also a handy today Widget that allows you to view your zones and Play / Pause your music and control volumes without even launching the App.
Additionally for Apple Music subscribers on iOS 11 ZonePlay provides an action extension so you can simply share songs, albums, playlists etc. from the Apple Music App to play them on your Sonos system!
NOTE: browsing / searching third party music services other then TuneIn radio is NOT yet supported.
Pros and cons of ZonePlay app for iPhone and iPad
ZonePlay app good for
The Apple Music extension and Apple Watch app are very useful!
Got this app awhile ago but didnt use it much. They have been continuing to update the app and now I use it all the time. Two main uses for me. I can now use apple music app to play through sonos. Select a song, album, playlist etc and do a share sheet play the music through sonos. Works awesome. I also use the apple watch app to control pause, play and volume. You can also select playlists on the watch. Seriously if sonos had any brains it would buy this company.
I would love to know how to play a specific playlist or song with the watch only.
Update: Yes I can. All I have to do is transform a playlist into a favourite!
I originally bought this for the ability to control Sonos from my Apple Watch and Notification Center. But the new feature of being able to "send to" Sonos from WITHIN Apple Music makes this a 10 star app. Ive been wanting this feature since the day I got Sonos!
Some bad moments
I feel kinda burned. I probably should have dug deeper to learn that this app cant really access all of the Sonos APIs. So forget any of subscription services or as near as I can tell any of your playlists unless stored in the Sonos app. GREAT Apple Watch implementation - for $2 not $4. Yes I know it is only 2 bucks but this allows you to forward, reverse, and raise / lower volume. And nothing more. Still would have paid the $2
I purchased this app to have control of my Sonos Amp for outdoors and the app for the Apple Watch does not work. It locks up and is useless.
I would like a refund.
I did try to reach out to the developer through the support link in the app, Twitter, and website and no response a week later.
Doesnt matter how often I uninstall/ install the app, it really NEVER works! Whether on my phone or my Apple Watch. I liked the idea especially to control Sonos via Watch. No chance... And the developer are not reacting or comment the issue! If they wont fix it, this will be the first App Im claiming my money back!
Disappointed that all you can use with this is Apple Music. I was hoping to use all my Sonos sources. Bummer.
This is the only app out there that lets you control the Sonos from your Apple Watch, and it does a really nice job of it. Even if your phone is somewhere else in the house, your watch is always with you so it’s ridiculously easy to change stations/playlists on a whim. Well worth the price!
If you have a Sonos sound system and an Apple Watch you just cant beat this app. It works like a charm every time, simple perfection. Its so amazing to control all your speakers and music from your wrist! It amazes my friends, and even me every time I use it!
Usually ZonePlay iOS app used & searched for
sonos,
sonos app,
and other. So, download free ZonePlay .ipa to run this nice iOS application on iPhone and iPad.
