Sonos Announces Improvements To The Sonos App

Sonos today announced via their blog that they were making some improvements to the Sonos app. They’ve taken some user feedback in terms of the user experience and have made the following improvements:

  • A faster way to manage all the rooms in your home: Effortlessly move your music around your home with a more accessible rooms menu, now available by tapping the top of any screen in the Sonos app.
  • Improvements to the tablet app: New dedicated screens for what’s playing and music discovery on iOS and Android tablets makes toggling between screens more intuitive.
  • Quickly switch between screens: Using your phone, swipe left to right to open the music menu. Swipe up to go straight back to what’s playing.
  • Want to hear that verse again? The track progression bar is back in your now playing screen, just below the album art. Drag it to whatever point in the song you want to play.
  • Easier to mix it up: Shuffle mode and crossfade are back where they belong. From the now playing screen, simply press the info button.

You can try Sonos 5.3 in beta today on any Android mobile device. An iOS beta version is available via a media VIP beta which means it is not open to the public at this time.  The full release, including the updated app for iOS devices will be available in the coming months.
