1.8 not 2.0 let's be indulgent

Roon Software Discussion

New 1.8 score some good points but not only

Positive

  • Stability looks fine, iPhone UI is better
  • Browse is fine
  • Home and genre tabs are more focused, but who cares about “recent listening”, top artists and top albums of the last days ???
  • Qobuz tab is clear
  • Album view and focus filters are fine. Scroll down is much better than previous scroll right

Negative

  • Date added has disappeared
  • Stars (AMG rock & jazz) and recommendation on new album are gone : real pity, add it again ASAP please
  • Artists : I don’t like the circles. Waste of space and unfocused, but I don’t use it
  • Composers : same remark but I use it for Classical. Could be much better in the style of Genres

What I miss
I had hoped to find an “alarm” or differed play to launch listening when I wake up. I’ll continue to use the Sonos function in my kitchen…

PS: Lifetime subscription, Hegel 360 AMP with IMF 8O speakers + Sonos in different rooms. I really enjoy Roon + Qobuz.

I think the point of the design is to air it out and show some clean separation versus crowded, image dense apps. I like the circles, looks nice and no downside to using it on an ipad. Runs great and looks like a giant step up and refined.

I think favorites are missing? Yes on date added though no real value to it anywhere.

Lastly, I think it actually sounds better than 1.7 which is what it’s all about.

it’s there but you may need to expand the review to see it. (For albums with no review, it’s always visible.)
