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.

      Please implement this. Many of my friends want a Sonos system but they have Windows Phone and soon Surface tablets.

      Bad business Sonos!  I had to buy the piece of crap PHONOS app for $4.99.  That app works for basic play but I'd much rather have a native Sonos app!  It's Nov 2013 and still no app for WP8.  There are tons of WP8 device owners out there.  Why are you not creating the app?  Like others have said, I will not be buying another Sonos device until you get your act together and take care of your customers!  FYI...you decided to force people to use an app in order to use your product so it's the COST OF DOING BUSINESS in providing apps for ALL operating systems.  Get with the program!

      Ive started chasing them up on Twitters as well as no one from Sonos appears to be looking at this stream.  Mind you if this support site is anything to go by I doubt they will respond on any medium.  Still can only live in hope!

      'It's been a little while since our last update'. Correction, it's been more than a little while. Damn this company sure excels in irritating a substantial part of its existing and potential customer base! I spent over £1000 on Sonos kit in the Summer also on the advice that a WP8 app was 'imminent'. I do feel conned and certainly won't be buying anymore Sonos kit because of this.

      Please can we have a Windows Phone 8 controller? Pretty please? With sugar on top? And a cherry?

      Otherwise my husband has sole control of our music 😕

      It must be the right time for Sonos to get this done - publish an APP for Windows 8 (RT and Pro) and Windows Phone. Come on.... According to the latest smartphone shipments for Q3 2013, Windows Phone is the second largest OS in a number of markets!! Get in the game Sonos and listen to your customers and look at the market!!

      Having a Windows 8 PC, Windows 8 Laptop, Surface with Windows 8 RT, Windows Phone 8, this would be a killer app for me.
      Excactly the same here. And with the new Surface 2 and the Nokia tablet announced Sonos should understand WindowsRT/Phone8 is here to stay

      I just purchased and setup my first Sonos system that consist of a Play:1 and a Bridge.  I am now considering expanding the system after I have used it for just one day.  However I am a Windows household and would really like to have a native Windows 8 app and also a Windows Phone 8 app.  I have Windows 8 desktop, laptop, 3 tablets (a Surface 2, Surface Pro 2, Dell Venue 8 Pro) and a Nokia Lumia Windows Phone 8.  So a native Windows 8 app and a Windows Phone 8 app would be of great use.  Especially a Windows Phone 8 app since the desktop controller can be used on two of my tablets but I can't use my phone at all and that is usually near me more then the tablets.

      I'm in the same boat, our house is Windows across the board and would really like to see an app for the WP8.  In the meantime, check out Phonos for your WP8.  It actually works pretty well.  It's about $5 in the marketplace.
