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

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.

My Surface Pro 3 and Microsoft Lumia devices NEED A SONOS APP! It's now much easier to make a UNIVERSAL APP that runs on BOTH! GET ON IT!

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. 

Count me in for another app request for Windows rt and Windows phone 8.  Why would you not want more customers??

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

I have started a petition for SONOS to support Windows Phone 8 and Windows 8 devices by releasing a universal Windows app.  Please sign it if you would like SONOS to release a Windows app.

Really waiting to see this happen! My household has switched to Windows Phone and a Surface Tablet in recent years and now we are forced to keep our old, slow Android phone charged to control our Sonos devices.

Also using the Phonos app which is great since it allows us to control Sonos with our Windows Phone, but it lacks functionality compared to the real deal.

the support for your petition is overwhelming... Come on guys! There are more than 18 people out there waiting for the app i hope!

I was looking seriously at SONOS for a full house wireless solution that wasn't Btooth.

Lack of support for Windows tablets/phones is a deal breaker.  My wife won't agree to a solution that doesn't support MS Windows 8.

Hi,

It would be great to see both Windows RT and Windows Phone 8 Sonos apps. Currently I am using third party apps and they are missing the look and feel, which comes with desktop, ios, and android apps.

Please, make it happen!
