Roon

The scrolling experience on a device with a 120hz display is frustrating because it will be very jittery, making text unreadable while scrolling. This issue has been known for years, and has gone unfixed.

Imagine an app that is easy to get working and that actually works, not one single other app actually works on a iPhone 16, but this one does and is more than just a remote control for your streamer, it is a complete encyclopedia and it has AI so when one album has ended it will find another song that actually fits

A very versatile one-stop-music library for your purchased music as well as good connections with tidal and Qobuz to be able to play other albums of the artist you have in your library. And there is also directly the pitfall: no connection to the biggest streamer: Apple Music. Very good quality files and huge library. Please add!

The value for money balance is lost on Roon. After having invested in an expensive Nucleus and endured price increase after price increase on their subscription its time to cut my losses. I’m tired of dealing with the instability issues and unjustifiable monthly costs

Op zich een goede muziek app met veel potentie. Ontwikkeling gaat echter bijzonder traag. Na bijna 8 jaar is de zoekfunctie nog steeds zwaar beroerd vergeleken met bijv Spotify. Weet je niet 100% de exacte naam van een titel of artiest, 1 letter verkeerd of een kleine spelfout en hij vindt….niks, heel frustrerend en echt een dealbreaker. Daarnaast is de zoekfunctie ongelofelijk traag, is de hele app de ene dag heel snappy en de volgende dag zo traag als stroop. Nogmaals, op zich een geweldige app maar met een paar zeer frustrerende aspecten.

If you can afford the luxury - you will have to buy gear that enables you to use the software- Roon will give you the ultimate listeners experience, in high audio quality.

Roon 2.0 update build 1388 causes lot of crashes in Roon remote. Especially in album and playlist view the app becomes frequently frozen. Have to restart Roon before it works again. In previous version this occured seldom.

Because i was using an old macbook the new roon installation failed. Now i have nothing.

Ik zie met deze app en ook het roon gebeuren geen toegevoegde waarde op het gebied van muziek, netwerkopslag, versterkers, digatalisering, gemak. Wat maakt roon bijzonder tov andere systemen en fabrikanten? En ook, wat wil roon op de markt zetten? Als roon zo goed en bijzonder is, dan is de grote vraag: t.o.v. wat (dan wel)?

I bought a lifetime subscription and Roon had an issue so they suspended my service. So I paid and didn’t have access. Definitely not a great experience. They are slow to address questions but super quick to enact aggressive remedies. The “lifetime” subscription at least provides the least benefit to the company so consider it for that reason alone - just beware it it’s a “purchase” at all

Roon is without any doubt a fantastic platform. The iOS app isn’t unfortunately. It crashes everytime after 5-10 sec. It worked perfect before, now it doesn’t anymore.

Roon is simply best. Great sound, great features, info, search. So glad I found it. Works great on all devices and with iPeng also while away from home using vpn. A must have

As a hifi and music lover, I discovered Roon thru a friend. He was very excited when he used it for the first time. So I gave it a go. This is quality, pure quality. In combination with TIDAL it is superb. The quality in what you hear is excellent, if you compare it with Spotify, Spotify is just a average mp3 listening expierence. But, in my opnion you need a good quality of speakers, actually a very good hifi system in general, otherwise you don’t expierence Roon in what it brings. In my case that is actually exactly what I have. I had first some problems with my streamer, and discovered that it was my modem, problem solved. Anyways……, great stuff!

Constantly loses connection to mobile devices when you want to play from mobile device itself.

The initial 2 songs I played via my iPhone (with DragonFly DAC) worked fine, after that the app started crashing every 10 seconds or so. It’s completely unusable, even if I don’t play any songs!

Despite following suggestions from users forums (turn phone on/off, change language, reinstall), numerous crashes make this app unusable.

Na aanvankelijke problemen bij de update na 1.8 werkt de app nu goed (iPhone 11). Bij problemen werkt het ‘t overigens het best te reageren (of desnoods te ageren

After I updated the iOS app today, it randomly crashes. Never had that before. Please look at it.
Few weeks later: still crashing
Started a thread on the Roonlabs Community, many encounter the same problem. Silence from Roon.
