Plans for Apple watch app in near future?

Dear sonos-developers,

Are there any plans to release an SONOS Apple watch app in the near future?

I hope so!

    I went to download an app, and the ones I found all have terrible reviews. Sonobit and Kronos Controller

    The reviews may be more about the apps themselves not being as good as the Sonos native app. But for using as Apple Watch app they do what you would expect.

    I bought 'ZonePlay'. It works, but it's not that good.
    The Sonos API isn't open to everyone…looks like an invite only community: https://developer.sonos.com/

    Just found http://musicpartners.sonos.com 🙂 — looks like that's what I need to use the API.

    Downloaded sonobit... volume kind of works. Nothing else seems to. Pretty bad.

    If you are using an apple phone and have the lock screen control for Sonos active it will do that automatically now with no 3rd party app needed.

    Yeah, but it doesn't show on the watch. And the lock screen doesn't always work. There's room for improvement.

      It is supposed to show on watch as mentioned by Sonos above.
