Sonos will release a major update to its mobile app on May 7th. The company will also phase out its desktop apps in favor of a web app that allows for remote system control.
Today, Sonos is officially introducing the redesigned mobile app that I showed you earlier this month. It’ll roll out for both Android and iOS on May 7th, but the company’s desktop apps aren’t coming along for the ride: Sonos will discontinue its controller apps for Windows and macOS in the near future. Taking their place is a new web app that will allow you to control and access your Sonos speakers from anywhere — not just when you’re home on Wi-Fi.
The search experience is mostly the same, though you can now set a preferred music service that will be ranked at the top of results. Unfortunately for Apple Music users, Sonos still isn’t labeling spatial audio tracks in search results; you won’t see that badge until you start playing something. So far, I’ve only seen a brief demo of the app in action, so we’ll have to wait until May 7th to learn whether there are any missing features or lost functionality compared to the current version.
