A really expensive way to learn networking
If you want to learn networking, have money to burn, and like the idea of possibly one day accessing your music collection when away from home, this is a great way to do it.
The app hardly ever works; occasionally it does. But don't worry. In a matter of hours there will be a room update that ensures Arc breaks again.
You will need to install Tailscale, change the settings, then change them back again, constantly hoping that the most basic functionality will be achieved. It never will.
Give up on this overpriced wild goose chase. Use Spotify. It works. It doesn't sound great, but then nor does an iPhone.

Very good but …
I love what Roon ARC does - extends my music library to wherever I want to listen. In the car, in a plane, in the gym, on vacation, etc. it just works (for me. YMMV). But the UI needs some work. Personally, I wish it worked more like the main Roon app in terms of music selection. But if you love Roon (and I do), then Roon ARC is indispensable.

Complete rubbish
“Your server can’t be found, even though the Roon app reports that ARC ‘can securely access your server’. Please delete the app, download it again, and then re-download all of your offline content again.”

Better & Better
Don’t get turned off by older negative reviews. Roon Arc works well to bring Roon magic out your front door.

Much Improved
I’ve been a user since day one. ARC has been flawless for me in the past 6 months. Integration with Apple CarPlay is also very good.
