Dear community,
I am having a very basic question I think.
On a PC interface, when a track in palying, I can access information using those buttons in the upper right corner :
This allows to see images, artists bio, etc. (BTW, it would be great if there could be pop-up bubles on those icons on the interface).
My question here is how to find same information on the Android App? There is nothing like those icons, and I don’t find nagitation ways of getting to similar data.
Thanks in advance
I think the quickest way is by tapping some empty spot in the Now Playing bar at the bottom, to go to the Now Playing screen,
Then the three dot menu on Now Playing:
Thanks @Suedkiez , unfortunately, this menu on the App which I have been using is not as rich as the PC App interface.
For instance, one of teh icons gives directly all credits for the track currently playing.
While on the Mobile App, I get only links to the top performers.
There is also the link to the specific song details which I can’t find on the mobile app.
On the PC Roon App, the 3 dots in the bottom right have similar experienc as on the Mobile Android App, but for instance the credit links do not link to the specific track but to the album main artist.
See the image below on the PC App:
As shown, the 3 dots menu gives link to some artists bio (Agnès Jaoui) who is not performing on that track but is one of the album artist, but no link to the other information on the Android App.
This is disappointing and makes the Android App a poor experience compared to the rich data available on Roon.
There are many things in the phone app that are limited compared to the larger (PC, tablet) form factors. If I want to know all details on the phone, I simply go to Now Playing > three dots > Go to Album (or Artist)
I don’t know if there is a way to make suggestions to developpers, but on the mobile app, swipping left - Right on the now playing screen would be a great solution to have similar experience as the icons on the PC App.
The place to do that is here → Feature Suggestions
Check if there are already other suggestions like this, a general one for feature parity on the phone certainly exists.
Thank you @Suedkiez, there is already an entry asking for parity features on the phone app vs. the PC experience. I have added my detailed example on that same thread.
