Quick and easy in reality, just check for iOS/Android updates first if you rely on them.
Roon 1.8 is in the Apple Appstore (at least for the US WestCoast)
One of the reasons why I wonāt be upgrading to version 1.8 for at least a couple of weeks.
For the past 4 days Roon Radio has been working perfectly for me. The missing metadata issues I had been experiencing regularly are hopefully a thing of the past. Iāll be very unhappy if they re-surface in version 1.8.
I have just updated to 1.8. I have updated all devices: Core, iPad, iPhone and Windows PC. But when I click on preferences in the Roon menu, Roon crashes. Also on all the devices. I hope this bug will be repaired soonā¦
What a new experience!
I would restart the core and see if it helps.
Not an issue I am having.
Iām hoping one of my biggest annoyances with the interface has been rectified, hopefully on iOS too:
Canāt remember the exact previous order but 99% of the time I browse via Albums or Artists, and they were some of the bottom options in the iOS interface (either scrolling or opting for More to see the options - hated it).
While iOS updates went ok, the Roon Rock core update froze. In the end I had to force a restart. After which it couldnāt connect to the server a couple of times but eventually a connections was established. I guess some of their servers are very busy so it make take a while for some.
No more you just scroll down to see more, if they donāt fit on the screen.
Tablets work both landscape and portrait too now, which is so much better.
Their forums been up and down so yes, everyone updating and killing their bandwidth.
Yeahā¦ noticed their forum was slow so just assumed it was a server problem. The forced restart has done the trick though! Installing now.
You can hide the settings too on pc to get more real estate if you want. Donāt remember the option to hide or have it on before.
iOS app - yuck!
Hi Alley_Cat it has at the top - family may be using it not me - pointless and crass. Sorry. lots of wasted screen real estate.
Itās really not good on iPhone, lots of scrolling on the āfront pageā, I just want a simple controller not the stuff Iād get on the desktop - will try iPad later.
Just first impressions of courseā¦
They are all the same and show same content. Apps remember where you are so donāt ever need to goto home after initial start if you donāt want to.
The order is different though.
Canāt say I have noticed it being a different order and I have been using it since Friday. I did say on the beta forum that the stats need their own section and should not be on the home screen. The Layout will be a marmite thing what ever they do.
LOL, their forum certainly shouldnāt be on the same pipe as their service, but I guess theyāll learn for next time
Itās certainly different and will take some getting used to, it seems more complex and overwhelming. I have already discovered some new music which is good.
Iāve enabled dark mode for the first time, it seemed a bit bright in light mode.
I have already had 3 crashes on the IOS app which isnāt good.

Hi Cris,
You should set language of Ipad/Iphone and language in roon to English. That stopped the crashes of my Iphone/ipad
