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.

      Come on Sonos!

      I run everything on Windows 8 and Windows Phone. I don't want to buy an iPad or Android tablet. You have had plenty of time to "take it under consideration", now give us more information on the likelyhood of apps for Windows 8.1 and Windows Phone. When can we expect a more detailed response from you.

      Please don't ask how we use our Windows Phone in the household. It is irrelevant and takes even more time. We just want the controller on our favorite platform, Windows 8,1 and Windows Phone

      Thank you!



      Agreed.  If you want to know how we want to use it, basically no different than how I used to use it on the iPad and iPhone.  This is not rocket science and honestly appears to be a stall tactic...

      If you have to start with basic functionality, that is fine, but get something out there...  right now I have to remote desktop into a windows pc to make it work....

      I agree - a Windows phone app.is way past due.  I have the Phonos one, but it's features are limited and it's clunky.  But, I love my Sonos system.

      I hope you guys develop an app soon. I am deciding on buying a music streaming solution for my house and am strongly considering sonos, but all my devices are Windows based. I have the Suraface 2, Nokia 920. If Sonos had an app for Windows RT and Windows Phone, I wouldn't have even considered anything else. Still hoping they will come out with an app before I buy.

      Hello,

      We’ve created a brief survey which has some questions on what Windows Phone you currently use, what Sonos components you have, and what features are important to you. When you have a few minutes, we’d appreciate any feedback you can provide us via the survey.

      You can take it by following this link: https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/AskSonosWindowsPhone

      Thanks everyone for your continued feedback and support.

      Sonos has a survey now about Windows phones/apps: https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/AskSonosWindowsPhone

      Possibly looking to finally develop an app?

      This will probably just lead to another years wait with nothing at the end. This request for an app has been going on for long enough now that we should have an app for wp8/rt,not be still waiting for Sonos to make a decision if to make one.

      Took the survey, but I'm a little confused as to why you've published this in the first place? Surely if you're going with a WP8 app then you would give it the same features as iOS and Droid, would you not? Don't get me wrong, it finally feels like you guys are moving forward with something. However my concern now is that us WP8 users will end up with some half cut version, based on the more important features you gather from your survey.
