Roon 1.8

Agree, but this is so tacky:

Funny, I always used dark mode, but I change to light mode because dark mode appears to be too dark for me, simply because of too much empty space.

Google woke up, the app is in the store in Germany

I have restarted and rebooted the core. The crashes stay alive. Also crashes when clicking the profile settings button.

Eventually there is no automatic update.
No click, no update.

An automatic update would have been a surprise, an unpleasant surprise.

On its way, free trial at the mo

I switched off the Core manually. After switching on the crashes are gone. What a experience!

It only works on my iPhone. On the iPad I have further crashes when selecting the settings.

All updated here with Android app. Nice and easy first time. Looks very different and will take some getting used to a playing with. I always use dark mode so no difference there

Don’t agree with tacky, also Android doesn’t seem to have those buttons at top. I would like to resize the thumbnails though to get more on.

Creating software is tough, and rolling it out is tough. Hopefully we can give Naim a break or two.

Got the ROCK core to update for the first time in ages without crashing and having to rest the database, so far so good (better).

But I have to say I’m a bit meh about the UI changes (and a UI update is something I heavily lobbied for). I wish they had taken care of some more of the basic navigation issues as well as wasted screen space. I know who I am and what Roon is - I don’t need to have myself introduced to Roon every time. I also wish the filter on the overview page was for the entire library and not just the played/added recently.

If it was up to me to redesign the software, I would have gone radical and went with a module view approach, i
e like Adobe Lightroom. Still too much sub menu deep diving, back and forth arrows etc etc for my tastes. And that purple! Oh well
 hopefully this is a base they can now add/subtract from.

My Rock seems to be making 1% download progress per 15 minutes or so

All personal preferences - I hate familiarity in software/apps/emails etc - the Hi Whoever is just not needed.

I have a credit card than annoys the hell out of me when I make a payment as I get some stupid ‘thumbs up’ email saying ‘wow you’re payment has gone through’ or something equally daft, yes I know it has I made the bloody payment! I digress


Hmm funny I am still finding things missing. On Android phone no bookmarks anywhere they are completely missing. There are a quite a lot of these inconsistencies. It really needed to be opened up for beta a lot earlier if you ask me or changed the date as we did flag a lot of this.

I agree it doesn’t really need that personalisation. Just get on with it.

Thank god the streaming part of it all is on seperate servers as forums still down and slow downloads for some.

Especially when it isn’t actually tied to anything. If Roon would implement different libraries, likes, or whatever between ‘profiles’ then it would make sense.
