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

I really think that some information is owed at this point. The alpha app has not been updated in over a month, not a good sign, and this thread despite having been the most popular for as long as anyone can remember is seemingly wilfully neglected by Sonos employees. They only now emerge to shoot down expectations...

I was really hoping an app would launch in time for my 30th birthday so I could enjoy my new Playbar with it. Alas no. Now I am hoping they have targeted Q1 for release, that seems unlikely as there is less than a week left of Q1. The whole thing seems to me a masterclass in deception to keep us just hopeful enough that we stick with it. After 2+ years it is wearing very thin!

Seriously regretting the Playbar now, knew I should not have done it. Considering returning and buying the Arcam Solo Bar, £200 more, no WP app but a lot more capable, with HDMI, Optical & DTS with Bluetooth to boot.

If Sonos are serious about this app and wish to stop alienating users than the solution is incredibly simple. Make the app a public beta, you have a large pool of passionate people waiting for this who you could put to good use ironing out any remaining bugs. Judging by the reviews of the Alpha the app is pretty stable and has been garnering good reviews so it's not as if you'd be releasing a mess that would hurt your reputation. Indeed it might go some way towards enhancing/repairing perceptions that, speaking for myself only, have been seriously damaged by the constant procrastinating.

This is your most popular idea at nearly 2000 Me-Toos. All other ideas that have achieved 1000+ Me-Toos have received a definitive answer one way or the other. I think the people following this thread deserve nothing less. Yes or no?
^^^Agreed!

Glad you agree. Just as an aside the comment ticker appears to be stuck at 596. Not going to count all the comments but seems you get roughly 30 per page and 24 pages would make over 700 comments. Will see if this makes 597 but if not perhaps a mod could take a look. I'm interested in exactly how many comments there have been.

Definitely stuck on 596.

Sorry, don't want to sound like a vigilante but just watched tb UK leaders debate on my lovely soundbar. Amazing how selling snake oil crosses borders, UK politicians seem to have taken lessons from Sonos execs "Say nothing, do less". Says something that I now hold Sonos in higher contempt than the UK political establishment! Sonos have now spent plenty of engineering resources on music services they know 99.9% of their customers will not be able to distinguish on their hardware (Deezer Elite & Tidal). Yet won't commit a fraction of that to this request. Think they may actually believe their own BS.

For a sonos connect at 350 euro and 2 play 1's at each 199 euro, I expect a decent Windows Phone app from Sonos, it seems that they don't care about their "Windows Phone" users. Sad, but with the benefits of the real expensive hardware, I think it must be possible to hire a good developer and release an app  within at least 2 months, I see that the demand for an app already lasts for about 2 years now, isn't that a shame SONOS?

So today Microsoft announced their "Universal Windows Platform Bridges" that will allow iOS and Android developers to quickly bring their existing iOS or Android app code base to the Windows platform and create an universal Windows app.  What’s SONOS excuse for not releasing an official app for Windows 10 going to be except for pure laziness?

Can't believe we are all still here and wondering where the app is. As usual no information at all from Sonos. I hate you Sonos.

C,mon Sonos, It's time.  no more rumours or pointing us at 3rd party apps.  Windows 10 is coming, porting iOS or android is now simple, universal apps will allow you to create a single app that will run on a PC, tablet or phone.......

It is getting really annoying. 
There is this app, which can be used apparently by specific people but not by all of us. Why is this so? They do not seem to be internal sonos employees. 
Could you please give us some information on this app.
I can understand that you do not comment any new products or feature you might have in development. But this app is essential for the use of your current products, as you do not offer and support the Sonos Control anymore.
So please give us information on this point. 

I cannot believe that a company like Sonos still does not support Windows Phone. Frustrating and annoying
