Sonos has today announced that it is completely redesigning its mobile app with the new app to be released on May 7th. A new web app will also replace the desktop controller on this same day.
Rather than being split into tabs, the new mobile app will serve up a home screen that serves all of your content and controls all in one place making it easier to use, but also allows for more control over your devices and content without flicking around.
You can now completely customise your home screen pinning rows of content and services and re-arranging them as you see fit.
To get to your devices, you can simply swipe up from anywhere to get access to your entire system, which is a huge improvement over needing to swipe to a completely different spot on your app.
Further to this, it’s also been revealed that a new web app that can be accessed in the web will replace the desktop controller. This will also release on May 7th.
NEW SONOS APP FEATURES:
- Get into your music (and off the app) faster: No need to tap between tabs — the new Home screen serves up all your favorite content and controls, all in one place. Quickly jump back into your recently played, browse libraries and recommendations from your preferred services, and fill your home with music and all the sounds you love.
- Customize and curate: Enjoy unparalleled curation by designing your Home screen to reflect how you listen. Pin rows of your favorite content and services; then move, edit, or rearrange them to your liking.
- Search every streaming library: Look for an artist, song, podcast, or audiobook across all your preferred streaming apps at once via an easy-to-use search bar that’s always available right on your Home screen.
- Elevated system control: Swipe up from the bottom of your Home screen to seamlessly control your entire system and access a visual overview of what’s playing on each of your products, quickly group speakers, and dial in on the perfect volume from anywhere in the app.
