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.

    This reply was created from a merged topic originally titled sonos controller app for windows 8.1 and windows 10 RT and Phone.

    I'd definitely love an app for my surface.  Just getting a Sonos system this month and not having an app for my Surface is a real bummer.  Sonos, please make it happen

    Wow. That would be awesome. Like everybody else here, we have been waiting for an official app for years. Hopefully this happens.

    I notice that this is now the top voted idea here on ask.sonos.com. Besides, creating Windows Phone apps really isn't that hard. Even more compelling: make it a universal app and all code except UI can be shared between phone and tablet/desktop.

    Which suggests Sonos do what Sonos want, rather than what their existing and potential customer base need.

    An app for the controller that could be downloaded thought the Windows Store, compatible with windows 8.1 and windows RT would be great. It seems that I am in good company here. having many tablets and products that do not support Sonos, it would be good to see native support.

    The silence on this thread has become deafening. I think that little story posted in Dec about Sonos support for WP had everybody hoping for some sort of announcement by now. I personally no longer believe that this is ever going to happen, someone high at Sonos probably has some sort of axe to grind with Microsoft, shame it's their customers who pay the price. The last official response was four months ago and the survey was launched almost a year ago, since then Sonos have provided the people on this thread and their wider WP using customer base precisely nothing. Quite depressing really.

    I was thinking the same. There is only so long customers will wait.
