Thank you all for the detailed reports, and a special thanks to @Giles_W and @Frank_M for pinpointing what’s going on. This has been a big help.
We’ve confirmed the cause of the crashing, and our development team is already working on a fix. In the meantime there’s a simple workaround that resolves the crashes for most people.
Workaround: enable Notifications for the Roon app on Android
The crashing occurs when the Notifications permission was declined after the 2.70 update. To restore it:
On your Android device, open Settings → Apps.
Select Roon.
Tap Notifications and toggle Allow notifications on.
Fully close and reopen the Roon app.
(Alternatively, long-press the Roon icon → App info → Notifications → Allow.)
After re-enabling notifications and restarting, the app should stop crashing and closing on its own.
On the scrolling stutter: a few of you have noted that enabling notifications stops the crashes but scrolling still isn’t smooth. That’s a separate issue, and Stephen already has performance improvements in the works to address it, we’ll roll those out as soon as they’re tested.
Thanks again for your patience and for helping us track this down.
Same here, i also tried uninstalling and reinstalling, no joy. Edit: S25 Ultra, also. App minimizes, crashes, but leaves a “partial” process that needs to be killed…??
The fix has been tested and approved by QA. I’m not sure how soon we’ll have the fix released, but hopefully soon. I’ll post here when I have an update.
Thank you for your quick response as well as the link to the ahead regarding the Android issue.
I have two instances of Roon that I use. One on my Android phone and one in a tablet. The phone has been having this crashing issue for about a week and the tablet just started having this same issue tonight?
I’ll read the thread you provided. I appreciate that, thank you.
**Description of Issue** After the latest Roon Android app update, three separate Android devices now close/crash roughly 1 minute after opening the app: a Samsung phone, a Samsung tablet, and a Redmi tablet. A fourth Android tablet (Allo) stays open normally.
Troubleshooting already done: - Cleared app cache and storage on affected devices - Force-stopped and reopened - Fully uninstalled and reinstalled the app
None of the above resolved it. The crash is consistent across all three affected devices, all on the same network as the Core, so this doesn't appear to be network-related.
Any insight into what's causing this or a known fix would be appreciated.

I’m having the same issue on my Pixel 8 after the latest/july update. Remote just won’t load. Looks like it is trying and then quits. Reinstalled the app from the app store, gave permission for notifications. Cleared the cache, and the storage. Checked the build numbers matched. Still not working. Works fine on the computer that I have my core. All of my Roon remotes have the same issue. Have gotten spoiled over the years, because I never have a propblem. Hope you fix it soon. Pretty inconvenient.
