Sonos, the renowned multi-room sound technology company, today announced the most extensive update to its app since its inception.(You can find out more about the two previous versions in this guide). This innovation should provide users with an unprecedented streaming experience. From May 7, 2024, the updated Sonos app will be available worldwide for all S2 products – such as the Era 100 tested by STEREO GUIDE or the Beam 2 – via a software update. In addition to the updates for iOS and Android, it is also being introduced as a web app for the first time.
The new Sonos app features a customizable home screen that allows users to organize and quickly access their favorite playlists, radio stations, albums and other content from over 100 different services. A key feature of the revised app is the improved user interface, which allows users to gain direct access to the entire control panel with a simple swipe upwards – an improvement on the previous method of switching between different tabs.
Sonos has redeveloped the app on a modern software platform to simplify and speed up the user experience. The company emphasizes that this platform enables faster and more efficient innovation, which ultimately offers customers an improved sound experience.
A plus in user-friendliness
“With the latest update to our app, we are continuing our commitment to innovation and ease of use. We want to offer all of our customers not just an improved sound experience, but the best sound experience possible,” said Sonos’ CEO in a press release.
The updated app will not only be accessible on mobile devices via the S2 app, but also for the first time as a web app that allows users to control their Sonos system via desktop devices. This expansion reflects Sonos’ efforts to respond to the diverse usage habits and technical requirements of its users.
The update marks a significant milestone in Sonos’ development and underlines the company’s commitment to being at the forefront of technological developments in audio. With this latest innovation, Sonos once again demonstrates its leadership in the industry and cements its reputation as a provider of premium audio solutions that enrich the homes and lives of its users.
