Hi guys, @support firstly - thank you so much for creating Roon! This is by far the best user interface for enjoying music I’ve ever come across!!! I absolutely love this software for introducing me to some incredible music I never knew I had!
A couple of issues I’ve noticed while playing around since buying the software a couple of months ago:
-
I’m surprised this hasn’t been reported before but on the IPad Air 2, (and I’m guessing other devices of a similar screen size), the “favourite” heart icon is almost totally unselectable within a track listing (single album view is specifically bad). My guess is the detection has been set to the heart icon itself, maybe even smaller, rather than a wider catch-all touch zone around around the border. It appears there is a tiny couple of pixel sweet spot to get a touch to correctly recognize. I frequently have to press the icon as many as 10 to 15 times to get it to accept I want to like/dislike the song, rather than play it. I don’t have the smallest most delicate fingers in the world, but my girlfriend quite possibly might, and she can’t reliably get the action to work either. Interestingly we almost never have this issue with either the lyrics, credits or triple dot icons, just the favourite icon.

I know this has been reported in other posts but I’m still not totally sure how this works/is supposed to work. My girlfriend is Mexican so all her music is in Spanish. Forgiving my appalling efforts to master another language I have no interest in her music whatsoever. Merely disliking all her albums in my profile still covers my Albums view with them. I’ve applied Tags to all these albums to hide them then set a bookmark for this focus, but it seems a clumsy way to do it, it isn’t remembered when changing profiles between my girlfriend and I, isn’t remembered when changing between Artists and Albums etc, and I’m always left with “- Spanish” at the top of the screen. I feel a given profile should be able to select the albums they have no interest in and these be totally hidden from a particular profiles view by default.

Related to the above, minor inconvenience but there is no way to dislike/block multiple albums at once. Only favourite multiple albums at once.

This is also reported elsewhere: When playing in radio mode, the Now Playing screen is very empty and nowhere near the standard of the rest of the Roon interface. Even Tidal’s spinning disk looks fantastic in comparison. Rather than “Queue Empty” in radio mode the space could display, album booklet images, dancing spectrum analysers (I really miss these for party display on a tv), more upcoming tracks in radio mode above and beyond just the next track, larger cover art, album lyrics without needing to select the popup or even other recommended Tidal albums not in your library related to the currently playing song. (Better still, tabs to all of the above :))

Finally as a massive generalization, while I love how roon helps me discover my own music, I wish Roon was able to better help me discover new music on Tidal I would like (not Jay-Zs latest vested interest), that’s not already added to my library.
Thanks so much everyone!! Now - back to more music while I patiently wait for 1.3
