The official app from Sonos is the ultimate and easiest way to set up and control all your Sonos products straight from your phone or tablet.
As you will doubtlessly already appreciate, Sonos speakers are the top dogs in wireless sound systems. As often as not, Sonos' product range of speakers and soundbars is the simplest solution to pipe music all around your home or home theater.
Using WiFi technology and your phone, it's possible to completely customize your listening experience with any wireless-enabled Sonos audio component. You can get everything exactly as you want it, whether it is streaming music, podcasts, audiobooks, or radio stations to any room on your property.
Watching TV, gaming, or movie night at home will all be elevated with just a few taps.
● Easy to follow instructions to add and set up speakers
● Control all your Sonos hardware from any room
● Manage all your services and content in one app
● Exclusive access to Sonos Radio
● Dedicated settings for TV, gaming, and movies
● Speech enhancement for clearer dialog
● Night mode to dampen loud sound effects
● Personalized settings
The Sonos app gives you ultimate management of all your devices in different rooms and tweak settings as appropriate depending on what you will be watching and where.
The app's control system gives you fine adjustment of your soundbars, speakers, and other Sonos products. You can adjust volume levels, group devices to play in tandem, or play different content in different rooms.
However, you should note that the app is more than a glorified remote control. You can manage hundreds of services for streaming and control, for instance, as well as voice control. You can also browse all your content, from music to audiobooks, within the app, so you don't need to go chasing around all over the place.
The app also gets you access to thousands of free radio stations, including live broadcasts from all over the world, genre-dedicated stations, original Sonos programming, and stations that are curated by specific artists.
Your home theater setup will also benefit as there are specially adapted settings for TV, games, and movies.
Two that are particularly useful are Speech Enhancement and Night Sound. The first does away with mumbly, garbled dialog by homing in on the audio frequencies associated with human speech. The second is very practical as you dampen down the scary music and brash sound effects when you wish to leave others in your household in peace.
● It's free
● Surprisingly easy to use

The app is downloadable from Google Play and Apple's App Store. The Android app's needs vary by device.
iOS users need to part with 172.6 MB's worth of storage space and iOS 12.0 or later.
There's quite a significant difference in opinion between the two platforms, however. Google Play users rate the app as a 3.9 out of five, while App Store users give it a resounding 4.7 out of five.
