A New Era of Personalized Listening
Sonos, the renowned home audio brand, has revolutionized the music listening experience with the launch of its redesigned mobile app. The latest update introduces a highly customizable home screen, empowering users to tailor their app experience to suit their unique preferences.
A Personalized Home Screen
The home screen serves as the central hub for all your music needs. It offers a customizable layout that allows you to place your favorite playlists, line-in audio sources, and specific carousels from music streaming apps right at your fingertips. The persistent search bar provides instant access to your music library, streamlining the discovery of new tunes.
Feature Highlights
- Customized layout: Drag and drop elements to create a home screen that suits your needs.
- Quick access to favorites: Pin your go-to playlists and audio sources for instant listening.
- Integration with music apps: Add carousels from streaming services like Spotify’s “new releases” directly to your home screen.
- Persistent search bar: Easily find music with a single tap.
Enhanced Speaker Control and Settings
Accessing your speakers is a breeze with the new swiping gesture from the mini player. The system overview provides quick controls for volume adjustment, product grouping, and more. A dedicated settings menu in the upper-right corner enables deeper customization.
Universal Streaming Search
The search experience has been refined, allowing you to set a preferred music service that will be prioritized in search results. Spatial audio tracks are not yet labeled in search results, but they will be identified once playback begins.
Beyond the App: Sonos Web App
In addition to the mobile app, Sonos is introducing a new web app that provides remote control and access to your Sonos speakers from any device with an internet connection. Previously exclusive to the Sonos Pro subscription service, this convenience is now available to all Sonos users.
