Support Windows 8 RT for Surface Tablet and Windows Phone 8 for Mobile Devices
This is not a full windows 8 platform but will work new surface tablet and Samsung and others plan to use this OS which is not fully windows 8 compatible. It would be very helpful if sonos would support this as the tablet looks promising.

Could we at least get a bare-bones web app embedded in the controller? That would give WP/RT users *something* to control devices with.
Sigh. Just listened to the Play 1 at the store. Sounded great and would be perfect for shower music in the bathroom. Bought a JBL flip instead so I could control it from my windows phone. Actually sounds pretty good. My need to consider going the bluetooth route in the future. Would rather control from the native music interface on my phone instead of an app anyway. Love the speakers, but honestly, the best sounding music is the music you can actually listen to because you have a way to conveniently turn it on!
Definitely need a Windows Phone 8 App

I follow this discussion know since nearly one year. The only possible explanation to not have xbox music support or at least a Windows Phone app is a huge anti-support by Apple...:)
Well im ready to turn to Bluesound or Samsung shape if they make a proper Windows phone/rt app I thought that Sonos would be in front but they seem to dont care. When i bought Sonos I was convinced the app would be soon on its way but here after 3 years still nothing!? arrogant
I've just bought a Surface RT and I'm gutted to discover there is no Sonos App. Please sort this out Sonos, surely there is enough of a market now.
Yes. Please Sonos... Get moving on the Windows RT.
With zero communication from Sonos and years of them ignoring Windows users, it is time to walk away. Microsoft recently built an application for INSTEON, a home control solution that only supported iOS and Android. I'm sure MS offered to do the same for Sonos. So why in the world would Sonos turn down free software development? It is absolutely absurd and I’m tired of holding my breath for them to realize the importance of the Windows echo system. Sonos has ignored us for far too long and the new controller app for iOS and Android was a real slap in the face. They need to learn the importance of customer service because this is some of the worst I have ever seen.
I think most people would accept a statement from Sonos saying "look guys we know you want this but we dont have the resources to develop an app for such a niche group". Its not true of course but it would at least we would all know where we stand and could make an informed decision of the purchase or expansion of a system. However, the insulting political statements from "John" are really rubbing the nose of customers in it and I for one have already made my choice and letting my feet do the talking. Basically Sonos are sticking a massive two fingers up to a group of customers. This aint coming and everyone should accept that and move on from these losers. Give someone else your hard earned money. There are 1763 likes for this page. Its safe to assume that all of those have a sonos system and a windows device. Based on the price of just one device at about £250 thats almost half a million £. Alot of people have more than one device and there are bound to be a lot more people in this situation who simply havent bothered to post. So you are probably looking at more than £million in sales to windows users conservatively. How much to make an app? Abolute joke of a company.
Jesus. I have personally purchased about 30 sonos zones over the last few years - some for myself and some as gifts for others. Those people have then purchased yet more zones. And so on. Currently, at home, I have 2x Sonos Connect, 4x Play:5 and 2x Play:3...
The only reason I have an iPad is sonos. My main tablet is Microsoft Surface RT. My only phones are Windows Phones. Yet - I was forced to buy an iPad just so I can control my System..
Thing is, i HATE that iPad. It's buggy, and I seriously dislike the Apple usability. Now, it crashes more and more frequently, and I REFUSE to buy another.
Sonos: I've been _patiently_ wainting for an app for Windows Phone since the launch of WP7, and I'm out of patience. Unless you're planning to release one within the next month or so (and if you are, please say so allready) then at least publish some API documentation and I'll make one myself.
It's not that hard.

Dear SONOS,
When will we get that SONOS app for WP8 and WinRT?
I love my Windows Phone and Surface 2, but I hate that I have to use other devices to control SONOS.
My two kids want SONOS for their own rooms, but as long as they both own a Windows Phone, this is not possible. Also my sons Surface 2, that he uses for school, can do everything he wants, just no control SONOS.
We have received multiple app updates for iPad over the last year, and every time I wait and hope, that you will release a Win RT or Windows Phone app, but it never comes.
When will you help us Win RT and WP8 users?

How about we turn thus thread commercial. How much are people prepared to realistically pay for a Sonos controller app, assuming it's a Universal App and you pay once for it across Windows 8, Windows RT and Windows Phone.
I would personally pay up to £5, plus the potential £500-£1,000 I would spend on kit if I could actually control the stuff. I currently own nothing but am and have been in the market for kit for some time.

We need this. Windows Modern UI support is a must. Phone + Tablet. Don't skip it because we won't. It has taken too long already.
I just purchased a Sonos5 and was disappointed to find no official app support for Surface or Windows Phone. If it wasn't for some good 3rd party apps your speaker would've been a big waste of money. Come on, publish a touch screen/modern app for at least one of the Microsoft platforms. Until you do I can't recommend your products to anyone else.
Come on Sonos, I've had your products since your very Inception, now that I've left iOS and Android behind for a unified Windows 8.1 experience across all devices get on it.
Universal apps, same code different platforms. Get it on Tablets, desktops, laptops, phones and Xbox One. There is literally no excuses.

You'd think now that Marc Whitten is chief product officer at Sonos, we'd get some sort of WP app! Unbelievable!
Any official update on this topic? Still waiting for a response to the survey. Hello Sonos, are you there?
