Sonos announces redesigned app that puts everything on your homescreen

  • Sonos is releasing a redesigned mobile app for both Android and iOS on May 7th.
  • The new app has been rebuilt from the ground up to be more reliable and faster.
  • The homescreen now displays everything, allowing users to customize the layout and pin their favorite content.
  • There is a persistent search bar at the bottom for easy access.
  • Controlling Sonos speakers is simplified by swiping up from the mini player at the bottom.
  • Sonos is discontinuing its desktop controller apps for Windows and macOS, replacing them with a new web app.
  • The web app will allow users to control Sonos speakers remotely, not just when on the home Wi-Fi network.
  • Apple Music users won't see spatial audio badges in search results, a feature limitation.
  • Sonos CEO Patrick Spence is excited about the redesigned app, stating it raises the bar for the home music listening experience.
  • The new app will roll out as an update to Sonos' existing S2 software and support all current Sonos products.
