I agree with the rest here, give us a Windows 10 (universal) app (or windows mobile app) or at least help the Phonos app to support Groove Music....
Could I betatest please?
Hi Sonos, I'm patiently waiting for Sonos App for Windows phones. I am really surprised that a company as large and professional as Sonos do not have an App for a Windows phone, especially as they do not have a Bluetooth connection on the Sonos 5 - which incidentely is a great speaker. However no App - and I have brought a pup!
Where to find this app - however bad it is?
I am really surprised a company like Sonos does not have an app for a windows phone, especially as Microsoft owns Nokia - a company I have always preferred for their phones. Iphones are good but with so severe limitations memory, battery etc I am surprised they have become so popular
I have always bought Bose but was alerted to Sonos when looking in Curry's. However after purchase, although very pleased with my Sonos 5 I cannot believe it does not communicate with my Microsoft (Nokia) Lumia 640. I do not like the IPhone which their stupid policy of internal batteries, limited memory (and expensive memory), and lack of standard communication sockets. How is it a company as professional as Sonos have ignored Microsoft!

Does anyone know of a simple App that will at least download music already on the phone to the Sonos 5 without using the 3.5mm jack?

Come on Sonos get your finger out!

I have bought one Sonos to see if it was fine. Few weeks later my iphone was broken and I got a windows phone.
As, when I asked Sonos for a windows App, I got their stupid answer "...not comment on current or future development.." andI didn't buy any more Sonos equipment and really I think I will sell it on ebay and buy another stuff that will decently support several phones OS. 😠
Hi,

I, used to post on this thread. Even started a new Windows 10 thread, which was then merged with this thread. So now I've moved to the new Windows 10 threads on this forum:

Q: any news regarding a WIndows 10 app?


How many times do you have to be told? Sonos does not comment on current or future development.

We have no news to share with you about support for Windows Phone on Sonos at this time, and do not expect to have an update in the near future.

Beyond stupid.

I've been watching this thread for 3 years. This whole forum is a farce, there is no Sonos community, just a bunch of trolls and desperate users who have bought into this ridiculous system.

If they put a 10th of a percent of the effort that they put into designing this stupid forum and their rubbish new site we would have an app by now.

Please do a universal app! We know that there is one in closed beta.

I added my vote, for what it's worth. Unfortunately the Android app doesn't work correctly on Windows Phone 10 (Project Astoria...), it can't find any controller on the net 😞

I've posted an updated thread with a call to action for a Windows 10 Store App controller. If this is of interest to you please vote in the poll to demonstrate the number of people interested in an easy-to-consume format for the product managers.

I have to question Sonos' motives regarding this topic. Not only has it now been buried in the home theatre section, surely controllers and software is more appropriate? Were this a minor thread I could possibly have believed that it had been migrated here in error but this was the number 1 idea on the old site and should have been the first one checked.
They have also stripped about the mechanism which allowed visitors to the community to see that this is the most requested feature. Where have the 2000 me toos gone? It all seems far to convenient that this ignored two year old thread has been sidelined in the move, too embarrassing for Sonos to have it stubbornly stuck at the top of the ideas list I think.

Come on Sonos! My dell xps 13 (which folds into a tablet) is so lonely without a sonos app. Now that win10 is here, surely you can't wait any longer? Or are you inviting MS around the table soon for a takeover?

Well Groove Music (Xbox Music) was added to Sonos today (7/29/15). 
Big step in the right direction.

Hopefully we will find out in 2 days.
Lets hope windows 10 does bring good news! I have been using the 'phonos app', which does an excellent job in the short term but sonos should support windows! especially since they no longer make a dedicated controller!

Interesting interview with John MacFarlane at the Telegraph about why sonos will not support apple music directly: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/newsbysector/mediatechnologyandtelecoms/media/11671181/Sonos-CEO-We-would-embrace-Apple-Music.html So is this the reason why we do not get a Windows phone app!? Very objective... “We are big fans of Apple, so we would of course embrace them any time they want to come into the home, but I think that will be the next priority for them,” he said. “You have to earn Apple’s cooperation, they don’t just give it to you for free, but if there’s a delightful user experience and it makes a lot of sense, I think they do it, and there’s lots of examples of that. "
Maybe there is a typo in the article, it should be "if there’s a delightful user experience and it makes a lot of money" ...
It may also be that Apple is simply preparing the ground for their own hardware.

I cannot believe that a company like Sonos still does not support Windows Phone. Frustrating and annoying
I was just trying to figure out Sonos' position; I'm not telling if it's right or wrong. And I agree about the communication; here I think they somehow trapped themselves with this site because they try to show up as listening to their customers but developing software is expensive and time consuming, so at the end they end up with lots of ideas suggested by fans but everything "under consideration" is at least 2 to 3 years old - and most of the recently implemented  features are new streaming services that are not developed by Sonos but the service provider.
