The Sonos Controller for iPad is a free download (Sonos system required for use). Sonos

For those of you who have a Sonos system and an iPad, there's good news: the Sonos Controller for iPad is now available in the App Store as a free download.

Sonos has offered an iPhone app for a while but has been hard at work on the iPad version for several months. Needless to say, the new iPad Sonos Controller--at least from a graphical perspective--delivers a richer Sonos experience. The larger display allows you to view more album information, and overall we really liked the interface. However, controlling your system via a smaller, truly handheld device like the iPhone does have its advantages.
