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 is ridiculous! What is it now....2 and a half years later and still nothing!?!?!? Make the App already! There are several people on here who want the app that you keep ignoring. OK, so Windows Phone does not have the demand that iPhone and Android do right now, so what..... Windows Phone has steadily, albeit slowly, gained more acceptance and will continue to do so. It's not going away, even if you want it to and making it a Universal App means that it can integrate with Desktop\Laptop\Xbox\Phone which provides even more of a customer base than iPhone and

      Surely this is not beyond Sonos......I have moved away from apple and android, and am very happy to have done so. I am not unique, so surely the take up must justify the effort to keep us loyal to Sonos?

      I just found a post on the internet dated 24th of december 2014 regarding this subject. I posted the link below.

      Supposedly Sonos is developing a Windows phone app. Sadly I didn't find anything on the developmeent of a windows app on this forum. 

      It would be nice if someone from sonos could confirm that they are working on the windows app. Idd like to know for which Windows platforms it will work, will it have the same options/featureset as the android and Ios apps, will the wifi connection via sonos net work and when can we expect to see it.

      By the way, I started a new post regarding Windows 8. 8.1 and 10. But sadly it was merged with this post. Why!!!! Windows 10 isnt the same as windows 8 or 8.1

      There was an official post on a linked topic an hour ago which was the usual 'thanks for the interest, however we've no news and we're STILL thinking about it'!  It's interesting to observe that on their Facebook page, they pick up any customer issues immediately and want to look to address them, but for any posts relating to Windows Phone... well, they just get ignored.  These native apps are never coming.

      I guess it is official now. Time to update this item to 'planned' and post an ETA, Sonos!

      Mmmm. You’re a month early, because usually you look at this thread only every 6 months. Why don’t you just close this tread and put Windows Phone support on SONOS as ‘Not planned’. That you are still considering to implement Windows Phone support on SONOS is very big BS. Don’t you think so ? The only reason to keep the tread alive is that you don’t want to lose the Windows Phone users but you neither want to give them what they are asking for the last 2 years.

        On the other hand I would love to see a good third-party SONOS app on Windows Phone. Yesterday I was playing with the official SONOS app on an ipad and I realized that the UI of the official SONOS app is crap. So maybe we shouldn’t be waiting for an official SONOS app on Windows Phone, but for a good third-party app, with a great UI.
