  • Normally a great app

    After the recent update the app crashes repeatedly even after a fresh install. What’s odd is it opens back up to where you left off so if you’re patient you can eventually play your music where you want too. Hopefully this is resolved soon.
  • Incredibly unstable

    The app crashes a lot. And by a lot, I mean all the time. It’s gotten to the point that it’s completely unusable, crashes within the first 20 seconds every time it’s launched.
    Absolutely unacceptable.
  • Absolutely worth every penny

    Roon does so much I can’t imagine living without it. Lets me mingle my personal collection with streaming from Tidal and Qobuz, let’s me transcode and EQ / room correct if I want, all with a slick interface that feels a million years ahead of everything else.

    Also massive thank you to whoever at Roon finally fixed the trackpad scrolling issue on iPad.

  • Two big fixes needed

    When the app works, it’s pretty good, but there are two major issues 1) the app frequently crashes on my iPhone (interestingly enough, not on my iPad though) and 2) the app requires a complete restart every time you leave it and come back, which can be annoying. Fix those two items and you’ll have a winner.

  • App keeps crashing

    Just download Roon 1.8 and when I click on a feature, tha app crashes. I was also typing names of connected devices and it continues to crash. Completely unstable!
  • The best

    I have tried them all. Roon is very stable running on an old apple laptop supplying music to all my devices. Lifetime subscription recommended !!
  • Roon iOS

    After getting running on Linux and updates iOS app running very smooth
  • Latest release crashes

    Build 923 of the remote app keeps crashing over and over. Still having issues with spinning wheel of death when adding new albums to favorites, occurs with Tidal or Qobuz. Has been an issue for months. Opened a ticket to no avail.

    Roon is a fantastic music ecosystem with innumerable features that are worthwhile to the audiophile, and I have held on to it over Audirvana due to its faster, more ergonomic design—but instability issues are starting to be a major liability. If you have a mesh network, expect there to be problems (and make sure you enable multicast on your router if available—if not, don’t try Roon at all).

    Roon, you’ve got a terrific user feedback forum. Please start paying closer attention to problems that are mentioned by multiple users instead of asking us to go through endless back-and-forth troubleshooting steps. If several users complain of the same issues, the problem is with your software, not our setups.

  • Excellent app…but

    I echo all the good reviews. But Roon, ya gotta stop copying/pasting the same release notes with every iOS update. That’s amateurish. Tell us what you did. Give us something to be excited about.
  • Pretty dang awful

    Not sure if this is the right spot for this feedback. Just wanted to share my observations. Last day of my trial and I’m honestly struggling to decide if this is worth it.

    First off, Roon does something’s really well. Artist, Genre, management of the library, etc., spot on. It’s superb. But beyond that it leaves a lot to be desired.

    I’m sitting hear listening to a playlist. As I’m looking through the Queue I on my iPhone using the Roon remote, I decide I want to hop to another track. I click on the track and all of a sudden I’m in the album for that track and scratching my head as to why. My queue is now gone.

    How can this be this hard. On the desktop server I can simply click on play from here. On the phone there is nothing. Without a similar experience it’s of no use to me. Am I supposed to get up and use the computer every time?
