Support Windows 8 RT for Surface Tablet and Windows Phone 8 for Mobile Devices

I am in the same boat as Del.  I too had Sonos equipment before getting a Windows Phone.  I was amazed by my Sonos equipment when i got it, and i was also amazed by my Lumia Windows Phone when i got that (the phone got even better with time and OS upgrades).

I can quite confidently say i will be buying another Windows Phone over the next 12 months. (Probably a Lumia handset assuming the next iteration of the 900 series becomes available and Microsoft don't do anything too crazy).

I will not consider buying anymore Sonos equipment until there is support for Windows Phone. (Even though i would like the soundbar and sub if i could control it and the rest of the system with my phone)
Sonos does music very well, but without the app on my phone a large element of the luxury feel of the system is disabled as i have to walk to find the ipad to then control my music.  

So in the next year that is £500-£800 of my money going to Microsoft and £0 going to Sonos - as it stands.  
If a windows phone app is provided I would at least get one of the devices on my wish list (£600) in the next 12 months.  
However if a competitor provides a wireless music system, controllable by Windows phone, and of a very good audio standard; then I will take one last look at this forum before leaving and not looking back. 


So far, no competitors have. I think that's the point.

I have a Microsoft Surface Pro 2, and a Nokia Lumia 930. I used to have an Android mobile device, and I really miss the flexibility of the Android SONOS app. I've been reduced to using the Desktop application on my Surface Pro 2. It's hardly convenient.

Microsoft have made significant progress with their Windows Phone OS, and it now easily competes with other platforms. It's a shame that companies like yourself still haven't developed a native app for it yet.

I turned down purchasing a product a few weeks ago, before purchasing my Windows phone, because I discovered that they didn't have a Windows app. The only reason I have SONOS now is because I already purchased it before considering a Windows Phone device. I'm sure there are going to be other individuals that have not purchased SONOS for the same reason.

Come on Sonos - we're all still waiting for a proper Windows App, along with support for Xbox Music.  At very least please give us an update on the situation!

Felt slightly insulted this morning when I received your "refer a friend" email - which one of my many Windows Phone friends/family members do you think would be interested in Sonos, given that you don't even have an official Windows Store app?

When was the last time we hear from Sonos on this?

This is a friggin joke, you've released a beta app for a smartwatch but not WP8???

Yeah this Sonos giving Microsoft users the finger. Telling that they do not need or want our business. So I'll be canceling my plans to expand my existing system. I was just waiting for an app for my Windows Phone and/or my Surface tablet, to add another 7 unit. I will also be pulling the Sonos equipment I already have installed and selling it on eBay.

This is just an insult.

Wow. That really says it all. I keep coming back here hoping for some good news. Sadly there never is. Are there really more wearable customers out there than WP users? Hideously disappointed.

According to ZDNet, 9.9 million Lumia Phones were sold in the third quarter.  5.5 million macs were sold during the same time frame.

Also, The "Mac installed base is roughly the same size as the Lumia installed base today."

Yet OSX is supported and Windows Phone isn't. 

 

I would really love to be able to use Sonos on every device, which includes windows phone

Last check in on this forum for me tonight, I see it's the same as before, absolutely no comment from Sonos. More/better Windows apps are never going to happen. Sonos has stalled/failed big time this year, working on removing the need for the bridge was a bad move to me, anyone purchasing multiple speakers wouldn't have had to pay for it anyway, you'd simply get it bundled in any deal for free. The recent feedback re the Apple/Android apps isn't great, rather than improve the software the feedback is very much negative. Sonos are no longer the main/only multi-room wireless solution, they have a lot of competitors producing some seriously good alternatives, and some of them are brands with a superior speaker sound background.


I imagine all the competitors have better customer service than Sonos as well.

It might be possible to move away from Sonos and start using Spotify Connect, not sure if it's in the Windows Phone version yet or when it will be.

Two weeks without a response to this thread.

Are you sure you're reading every single response here? I really hope that's not the case because that would mean that you're actively choosing to ignore us. I actually believe this thread is broken due to all the replies, I do not receive any notifications for it (it works for other threads).

Please keep us updated even if you have no news.

I will again urge every single person reading this thread to start sending emails to the support until Sonos starts posting updates.

Was planning to by more Sonos units , but have decided to put in on hold. The entire familiy are using Windows Phones and Tablets. It have concequences for you, that you do not support the large Windows user base in a good way. I am tired of waiting! 
Same here.
