Soro - For Sonos App Reviews

Absolutely great. Thank you for developing this app.

The new Apple Music integration is perfect. There is no need for the Sonos app now.

10/10 — better than the OEM Sonos app 😂👏

They make the volume slider 5px tall and then expect your finger to activate and control it? Ends up dragging the entire window and not moving slider. Terrible terrible UI design

Been using this app for a couple of years now! I almost never open the Sonos app. My biggest complaint right now is that the live activity information does not persist.. so within seconds of the screen going off I have to keep clicking the refresh button or room that I’m controlling to see what’s currently playing. Please fix this!

Soro simplifies playback on my Sonos system and allows me to set up shortcuts that initiate playback of my favorites and reset my preferred settings like volume and speaker groupings. I highly recommend this app for anyone that wants additional control of their Sonos experience.

This app accomplishes so many smart tasks that honestly should be available natively through the Sonos app. Since so many smart home functions are lacking in the Sonos app, this is the logical next best thing. It is awesome and more than worth the small price!

I don't want to take my frustration with Sonos/apple/spotify out on Soro. Soro does thes best it can with what Sonos gives it. I got too excited by some online reviews for Soro and was hoping for more but ended up spending $8 for an EQ shortcut. Hoping to someday have a button that just plays my current Spotify session on a group of speakers.

I have been using it mostly for the shortcuts actions and it has been working flawlessly. It is simple to use, snappy and a joy to use.

For a brief period, the Sonos app allowed you to control playback from your Lock Screen… then it went away. This Soro app now bridges the gap and allows you to do just that- plus a lot more. When I’m hosting people, I’m often skipping tracks, adjusting volume up or down, and each time I’d have to open my phone and get into the Sonos app. Not the biggest of first world problems, but when you are trying to be an attentive host, it’s nice to be on your phone as little as possible. A tap to wake it

Possible to have a double wide widget?

This app is fantastic! It opens up the versatility of use for your Sonos system. I have 13 speakers and Soro allows me to make creative shortcuts and automations to run favorite playlists, group and ungroup, set volumes individually, and a host of other things with one touch shortcuts. I can even set the timers to more than 4hrs. The app’s interface itself is not the power of this app for me. It’s just ok really.. It’s the ability to do so much with Apple shortcuts and automating that makes t

I’m so glad I finally bit the bullet and got the app. I have used Home Assistant, Homebridge, and have a good understanding of programming knowledge so I’m not a newbie. I still believe that anyone can use this with ease if you are somewhat familiar with Apple’s shortcuts app. I have a full menu of Sonos control with just the tap of an icon saved to my home screen thanks to this app. Keep the good work up and please keep this app updated with the latest iOS updates. Love it!

This has really changed the game for our nighttime routine, but it often requires that we re-choose the speakers within the Shortcut’s settings.

One of the reason's I'm still in the Sonos Ecosystem. I'm able to do all my smart home stuff and that includes my music. Awesome!

I’m so pleased to have found this app which fills a big gap for Sonos fans. It only works on your local network but that makes it much faster than cloud-based options and you only pay once rather than every month. Support is great and it uses smart, thoughtful design. This is only for those who are familiar with or are willing to learn to use Apple Shortcuts.

I needed this so much. Thank you this is so helpful!

I have a Sonos system as well as a HomePod, but was never able to control my Sonos speakers via Siri Shortcuts. Now I can! It’s been especially helpful as I just purchased a record player, and using shortcuts to switch between line-in and TV inputs with additional volume micro adjustments is something I was hoping to achieve. Soro does just that!

Can you please add mic control? Thanks! I use Soro daily in my shortcuts.

This new update with the live activities is literally perfect, thank you for the update! In the future it would be phenomenal if we could somehow auto trigger the live activity if the speakers start playing.

I can do all the automations I ever wanted with shortcuts. They work very well.

What I liked about Soro was that it WAS one iPad screen, full sized, to manage the volume of all my different Sonos devices, so easy. However, now with the redesign instead of using the full screen, it uses about 1/6 of it, and I have to scroll to see all my speakers and inadvertently tap on something that I didn’t mean to change. I don’t see any settings to adjust either… Going back to the Sonos app 🤨

Walkie talkie shortcut simply doesn’t work when default Normal audio is selected. After changing to high quality audio, it works.
