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

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.

I hope you've now seen the Windows 10 Technical Preview. It is a game changer.

You will want to support the Windows 10 platform with a universal app, thus the phone and tablet support will come for free and you'll make all these people very happy indeed.

Best thing is that nearly all of the Win 8 and Win Phone 8 devices will be upgraded to Win 10, so you'll have a reasonably large base from day 1.

Download the preview and get developing a universal app today 🙂

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.

Consider the following..

===========================================

Windows Phone has 5-10% of the market in the regions where Sonos are active.

Most households has multiple phones, especially true for the people who can invest in Sonos equipment.

Most of the customers has a multitude of tablets at home.

Windows Phone tends to be more popular with people who has a genuine interest in technology, this is the same group that tends to look a Sonos.

So chances are that well beyond 20% of Sonos customer would benefit from apps for Windows Phone and Windows Tablet.

===========================================

I'm certain that the management at Sonos are aware of this. My guess is that there's a business agreement stopping Sonos from making this move.

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.

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.

The trend in the windows world is moving to touch enabled devices Microsoft pushing with universal apps for PC/Phone/XBOX now would be a good time to plant a stake.  The Windows wold is not going away. Mobile and Computing is going to start to equalize and windows will be one of the players.  You support MAC with less than 7% US market share yet not Windows 8 native with US share in the 14% range.  Seems like someone needs a refresher in numbers, math does not change.  And anyone investing in your product is in the disposable income range so toss that right out.

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

This reply was created from a merged topic originally titled Is there a way to play my sonos speakers using my new Nokia Lumia Windows 8.1 Pho.... I just purchased a Nokia Lumia Phone with a Windows 8.1 operating system.  Is there a way to run my Sonos device from my phone? 

Hard to believe there isn't a Windows phone app.
