Comments on Macronos for Sonos for Android
★★★★★
Must have if you have Sonos speakers Macros and Tasker integration for Sonos.
★★★★★
Excellent! If you have Sonos and want excellent macro control this is the app to have. Very nice tasker integration making this excellent for integration into home automation solutions. Used daily, solid as a rock.
★★★★★
A quality app that has enabled me to automatically wake to my favourite podcast each morning without the need to root my device. The addition of RSS support is a great touch and something that Sonos really should have included in their own software. I haven't yet gone in-depth with the various complex macros but the online user guides are clear and concise and the one-touch home screen shortcuts are great. I also like the Macronos controller but holding 1 star in reserve as the layout is functional but could be slicker and easier on the eye (something the official Sonos controller is also guilty of) and would like a controller widget for the home screen.
★★☆☆☆
App is currently broken - can't create new macros as you can't select the music to play. Notified developer of the bug, no helpful response so far.
★★☆☆☆
I don't get it. I was expecting to be able to play youtube through the sonos system from my Galaxy phone. Can anyone help? Or have I just wasted my money ?
★★☆☆☆
Macronos is currently broken on my Galaxy S8+. Cannot create a macro. When
adding a music source to a macro, l get an error message (Android system
keeps stopping) close app. This needs to be fixed. Updated 7/31/2018, but
still broken.
