Great app
Possible to have a double wide widget?

Finally Lock Screen Control
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.
