User Reviews
Apple Watch is unable to run shortcut without asking permission each time
App has more features than most others & looks nice, But man is the performance bad! I wanted to utilize lock screen & volume controls but they are unreliable. Lots of lag, delays, or no response. Constantly needs to be refreshed to work even slightly which is annoying. I requested a refund with Apple, thats how terrible this is. Good idea but needs work.
Possible to have a double wide widget?
For a brief period, the Sonos app allowed you to control playback from your Lock Screen… then it went away. This Soro app now bridges the gap and allows you to do just that- plus a lot more. When I’m hosting people, I’m often skipping tracks, adjusting volume up or down, and each time I’d have to open my phone and get into the Sonos app. Not the biggest of first world problems, but when you are trying to be an attentive host, it’s nice to be on your phone as little as possible. A tap to wake it and a tap to skip, then my attention is back on my guests.
The app description states that you can add the currently playing track to Apple Music Favorites via Shortcuts. Unfortunately this doesn’t work (no supported way to use the currently playing track using Apple Music track URL to favorite or add to playlist. Requesting Refund.
What I liked about Soro was that it WAS one iPad screen, full sized, to manage the volume of all my different Sonos devices, so easy. However, now with the redesign instead of using the full screen, it uses about 1/6 of it, and I have to scroll to see all my speakers and inadvertently tap on something that I didn’t mean to change. I don’t see any settings to adjust either… Going back to the Sonos app 🤨
I have been using it mostly for the shortcuts actions and it has been working flawlessly. It is simple to use, snappy and a joy to use.
I don't want to take my frustration with Sonos/apple/spotify out on Soro. Soro does thes best it can with what Sonos gives it. I got too excited by some online reviews for Soro and was hoping for more but ended up spending $8 for an EQ shortcut. Hoping to someday have a button that just plays my current Spotify session on a group of speakers.
This app accomplishes so many smart tasks that honestly should be available natively through the Sonos app. Since so many smart home functions are lacking in the Sonos app, this is the logical next best thing. It is awesome and more than worth the small price!
Soro simplifies playback on my Sonos system and allows me to set up shortcuts that initiate playback of my favorites and reset my preferred settings like volume and speaker groupings. I highly recommend this app for anyone that wants additional control of their Sonos experience.
