### 3/5 — Sehr unübersichtlich und überladen

*2026-03-25, version 5.09.53*

Die App versucht alles auf einmal und vergisst dabei eine logische Ordnung vorzunehmen. Man fummelt sich so durch und lernt auswendig, was wo ist, anstatt dass die App einen führt. 
Es macht einfach keinen Spaß, ein High-End HiFi-Gerät damit zu steuern. Dann lieber Spotify Connect und man weiß, was man hat und muss nicht umständlich rum suchen.

### 2/5 — Leider Nix…

*2026-01-04, version 5.09.45*

Die App ist leider wie von vielen anderen auch schon erwähnt sehr schlecht. Völlig unübersichtlich, unverständlich und fast jedes zweite Mal keine Verbindung zum Rose, sodass dies manuell am Gerät eingeschaltet werden muss. Eigentlich völlig unbrauchbar…

### 2/5 — Connection Failures

*2025-11-01, version 5.09.28*

The most important thing that hi-fi rose needs to get right is a rock solid always on connection to your unit. Instead, we have repeated dropouts that can’t be fixed. What is going on?

### 2/5 — tidal

*2025-08-15, version 5.09.23*

I changed rs520 into rs151 and tidal disappeared

### 3/5 — Why still not polish language?

*2025-08-15, version 5.09.23*

No polish language

### 1/5 — It won’t even set up correctly

*2025-05-19*

It’s so glitchy that no matter what you put in there it thinks there’s a duplicate nickname of it and you can’t get anywhere.

### 1/5 — 버그심각

*2025-04-19, version 5.07.70*

Rs151 구입한지 2주인데,
오늘 하루 8 사간내내 아이패드 출력설정에서 콘트롤 불능 오작동 
자우고 새로깔기를 햇습니다. 몇알째 이러고잇습니다.
출력볼륨레벨이 멋대로 왓다갓다하고요.  100곡 둗는동안 아이패드를 천번은 두드린거같습니다, 눌러도 먹지도 않는거를.
이틀전 신규버전으로 해도 이러니.
진짜 미치겠습니다

### 3/5 — PL

*2025-04-15, version 5.07.69*

add Polish language

### 1/5 — Many bugs

*2025-04-14, version 5.07.69*

1. The Preout in/out volume setting in the App does not properply reflect the setting in the device. 2. Cannot connect to a UPnP server to look up a song or album. Have to use Windows SMB instead.
3. The network directory uses the IP address instead of the hostname. If the IP address is updated, have to setup the network folders again.

### 1/5 — NUL 👎

*2025-04-14, version 5.07.69*

Jamais vu une app aussi mal faite pour du matériel à plus de 3000 4000€ c’est une honte… la camelote coréenne … plus jamais !

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2025-04-12, version 5.07.68*

I’ve had my Rose streamer for a couple of years and regret buying it because of this terrible app.  Bought it for the DAC and I’d rather have a $200 device with a better interface.  This app renders the streamer almost UNUSABLE.  It’s beyond FRUSTRATING.  I was assuming they’d make it better eventually but it’s only gotten worse.  Garbage.

### 2/5 — Horrible App

*2025-03-21, version 5.07.60*

Gave it 2 stars because it does work. Nearly everything about it is terrible. Not what I’d expect for a high end and high priced unit. The WiiM and Auralic apps are just tremendous compared to Roseconnect.

### 2/5 — Missed Opportunity!

*2025-03-15, version 5.07.58*

I love the sound and features of the Rose 150B, but this app spoils it. So confusing to use and buggy for me. Also the Autoplay algorithm is the worst I’ve seen. For me, I might have to forego some sound quality and go with another streamer that has a better interface. Too bad!

### 1/5 — Terrible software

*2025-02-21, version 5.07.58*

The management of the db is terrible in bench of my cocktail audio. Many many album are not visible so you can’t use well a machine of 4000€!!!

### 2/5 — No equalizer

*2025-01-23, version 5.07.43*

I have an rs 520 and I can't control the equalizer from the app, it can't be done... for me it's a problem if it arrives I'll increase the stars

### 1/5 — It doesn’t work

*2024-12-24, version 5.07.34*

It can’t find my rose stream reader

### 1/5 — Idiots!!!!!!

*2024-12-22, version 5.07.30*

Oh my GOD!!!!! With this update the app NO LONGER CONNECTS TO MY RS520!!!!!! Right before Christmas, you put out an app update that BREAKS THE APP!!! Unbelievable!!! If I pull up the QR code on the RS520 and scan it I get "ip address not found”. I cannot tell you how much I regret this purchase! $3,500 for a brick!

### 1/5 — Fiabilité et convivialité

*2024-12-20, version 5.07.30*

Pas fiable convivialité nulle combien d’essais pour tenter d’obtenir une solution médiocre. Si le matériel Rose est bon le soft est très mal conçu. Imbitable disions-nous quand nous étions étudiant. Le concepteur a dû faire ses études à l’ENA… dommage

### 1/5 — Gets worse with every update

*2026-06-24, version 5.10.01*

Update (June, 2026). The Rose somehow disconnected from the internet so I went to fix it and found out that I needed a pin code to do anything. I never created a pin code. I was never asked to create a pin code. Why do I need a pin code? But the solution for not knowing the pin code was great: a forced factory reset! So now things work even worse than before. It would be almost comical if this device had not been so expensive. (Also the English is still terrible. “Recently Playlists” is amusing every time I see it.)

Update: The playlists you have to make manually of your various box sets (because the Rose does not keep the tracks in numerical playback order) now just stop at random in the middle of playing them. The app is also getting even slower. Nothing is ever fixed by this company—they just add new problems. I wonder if anyone at Rose even reads these reviews. (April 2026)

Update: As of Sep. 14, 2025 the volume button no longer functions, the tracks from multi-disc sets are listed incorrectly, and I still have no idea what at least half of the poorly-written English in the app even means. Way too many goofy frills and not enough incredibly basic functionality. And updates fix nothing; They only create new problems.

This is embarrassingly bad. I cannot search for artists in the “Music” section since the last update. Terrible app. So bad it makes me question the entire company. Had I known I would never have purchased one of these units. I do not think anyone who built the device or the app has actually used it.

### 1/5 — Yeah, it’s pitiful

*2026-06-08, version 5.09.53*

Was really hoping this was gonna get better, but so far it has not. It’s extremely clunky, all it really gives you are the recently heard albums, which is exactly what I don’t want, the search feature doesn’t work at all, thank goodness the Tidal portion is not too bad. But they’re going to tank the business if they don’t get their act together.

### 1/5 — A fool and his money.

*2026-03-23, version 5.09.53*

I paid a lot of money for an RS250a.  It worked fairly well with a few problems - until I started installing updates.
For a long time I’ve had to reload the deck to connect to my system multiple times during each session, only to have it disconnect and instruct me to “change devices”.
My “devices” are all fine as far as I can tell.  Amazon Prime and AppleTV/music run with no problem and don’t interrupt my listening due to connection issues.
The AppleTV box cost about $400 and works fine.
After yesterday’s update, my $2400 Rose streamer won’t even power up.
I feel like an idiot for buying this.

### 1/5 — Extremely buggy and bad UI

*2026-02-25, version 5.09.52*

Since the last two updates, the app has been extremely buggy and impossible to connect to the rose. Plus, the UI is very clunky and dated. Bummer because the device itself is great.

### 1/5 — Latest update sucks

*2026-02-13, version 5.09.51*

Update makes app unusable!

### 1/5 — Worst app

*2025-08-14, version 5.09.23*

Worst app I ever used

### 1/5 — Bad to Worse

*2025-08-08, version 5.09.18*

At this point I am questioning my decision to have purchased my Rose DAC.  This firmware is beyond frustrating…

### 1/5 — Apple Music

*2025-07-04, version 5.09.05*

After updating the app, Apple Music does not work. Problems with astorization.

### 5/5 — Install Rose EA (early access) app ! Not this one

*2026-06-02, version 5.09.53*

There is a new app for Rose devices! Search Rose EA (not Rose Connect). It works beautifully

### 5/5 — 2024 - Just Perfect

*2024-12-08, version 5.07.22*

I’ve Bought a 150b in 2023. I’ve never had any problem. Always updated the firmware every time there was available one. Also the initially limited list of Radio stations is definitely over. I wanted to wait some time “to see if” … now, December 2024, I should say… the App it’s just perfect and it works perfectly! Period. 
Very happy, thanks Rose for your constant improvements! Excellent system overall.

### 5/5 — App per Rose

*2024-11-12, version 5.07.09*

Siamo nel 2024, ora funziona bene!

### 5/5 — Muy fácil manejo

*2024-04-29, version 4.19.02*

Tengo el RS130, hasta el minuto la aplicación funciona muy birn, cero detalles, muy fácil de usar.

### 5/5 — Bin zufrieden

*2024-01-16, version 4.09.06*

Die App ist nicht unbedingt in jeder Hinsicht selbsterklärend, aber mit etwas Einarbeitung finde ich die Organisation eigentlich recht gelungen. Für jegliche Frage war der Support per Mail immer innerhalb weniger Stunden hilfreich zur Hand!

### 5/5 — En français s’il vous plaît

*2023-10-23, version 4.08.03*

Serait-il possible d’avoir des explications et mode d’emploi en français. Vos appareils sont très répandu dans le monde mais il n’y a pas de documentation en français ce qui est très regrettable. Merci beaucoup pour votre attention. Félicitations pour la qualité de vos appareils

### 5/5 — 로즈튜브 오류 수정 부탁드립니다

*2022-01-31, version 4.04.03*

로즈튜브 네번째줄 밑으로 내리면 앱이 강제로 꺼져버립니다. 확인 부탁드려요!

### 5/5 — 감사합니다

*2020-11-20, version 3.02.11*

안드로이드와 아이폰을 다쓰고 있는데 역시 아이폰보단 안드로이드가 더 기능이 많네요. ㅠㅠ 그래도 잊지않고 업그레이드 늘 감사합니다. 더 발전 하시길 바랍니다.

### 5/5 — 정말 최고입니다

*2020-11-06, version 3.02.09*

버그신고 하고 바로 고쳐주시고 사소한 목소리에 귀기울여주셔서 너무 감사합니다.
늘 감사히 잘 쓰고 있으면 다음에도 전 무조건 rose 사겠습니다

### 5/5 — 노력하는 회사라서
