Hello,
Whenever my iPad/iPhone screen is locked and I unlock it again, this is what happens:
- For less than a second I see the latest Roon screen I had before it locked
2. I am about to interact with it when… - It suddenly switches to a (very very) short screen saying “trying to reconnect to server” or something similar
- After which I get my Roon control back
This can become very frustrating because when I’m about to interact with it… it switches context… only to switch back to the original screen a split second later.
My suggestion is that either:
-
Roon skips step 1 immediately showing step 3 (trying to reconnect to server). This will avoid the user trying to interact with it only to suddenly be presented with a “reconnecting” screen.
-
Roon assumes that the reconnection will happen quickly (as it mostly does) and:
a) shows step 1 without allowing any interaction
b) once reconnected… control is returned to the user
c) step 3 could still be shown to the user but only after 1 or 2 seconds timeout trying to reconnect
I believe this latter to be the best option because most times it will feel like Roon was never disconnected as there will be no apparent context switch.
I hope my explanation was clear…
Let me know what you think.
Thanks in advance,
Nuno
