You have to admire Roon for having a self-endorsed community forum.
They really put themselves on the line & some of the comments you see on here (from people that pay for Roon!?) are unbelievable. Talk about relaxing a little!
The Roon guys must have such thick skin to stay professional like they do.
The new Roon looks & works great for me across various devices, platforms & OSâs.
Would take a good few problems to get me away from it. Thanks all for your hard work.
Would be great to get folksâ input on how they like the UI, based on which remote type they use the most. I have a strong guess as to whatâs going on. But I like to use data. Thanks!
Ătant nouvel utilisateur et cherchant depuis un certain temps un très bon système de gestion pour ma musique, avec ROON jâai enfin trouvĂŠ ce que je cherchais. Continuer ainsi ROON et bravo Ă toute votre ĂŠquipe.
I have been exploring it on my laptop, and the interface sure works better (and probably as intended) with a large screen. It is an abysmal experience when exploring it on my iPhone. It feels like a cluttered mess. When I replace my broken iPad, I will try and get the largest screen I can afford!
1.8 is a huge step forward for me. After only a few hours of use I upgraded to a lifetime licence. It now works so much better with classical music for me. There has also been a significant reduction in âtrying to connect to Roon coreâ delays, which previously irritated me.
Truly excellent work. Thank you.

Whatâs with the aggressive sarcasm? If youâre upset with 1.8 the thatâs fine. Many (majority according to ongoing poll) are satisfied. We can all dwell on the things we donât like, but I tend to find that celebrating the things we do like makes for a more contended life.
A huge amount of hard work has gone into this update. Real people working hard for our benefit. 5 days in and I really do think Roon 1.8 is great, but Iâm a glass half full sort of a person.
OK. A feel good thread for less than 150 posts from about 90 users. Hmmm, letâs have a look at the Customer Satisfaction rate based on the â100kâ subscribersâŚor maybe not as statistics donât care about feelings.
For some people Apple can do no wrong.
Paying a company good money for a solid service does not presuppose an excessive level of indulgence.
Do you even realize that some users are diving into and modifying hidden display parameters, at Roonâs dismay, just to configure a more palatable UI?
If 1.8 dwarfs the Second Coming for some of you, please elect to stay with it while the rest of us (hopefully) benefit from 1.9, 2.0, etc

What on earth are you talking about? Itâs a piece of software that you donât like. If youâve got an evidence base to ascertain the thoughts of 100,000 subscribers then Iâd be happy to see that.
If youâre unhappy with Roon then you have every right to look for another solution. Hopefully youâll stick with it and give 1.8 a chance.
I am sorry that you had such a negative experience with the new release. Unfortunately, you didnât say what made your current organization worse for you, and this may also be the wrong thread for problems and criticism.
Mods have temporarily closed this thread to avoid discussion deteriorating into personal argument. Please refrain from posting about other users when it reopens.
Those whose systems broke, that is terrible. When my core upgrade got stuck halfway through I was cursing myself for trying the upgrade in the first few moments. Thatâs a rough situation to be in for a piece of software you enjoy and pay a lot for.
Those who extensively used bookmarks that AND/OR screwed up had a lot of investment that seemed like it had cratered. While Iâm confident that the team will eventually make it right, it sure didnât feel like it and that sucked.
Those who relied on editorial ratings, or who had very large format screens, or whatever that felt like their use case was worse, I feel for you. Some Iâm sure will be fixable/fixed, some will just be worse as Roon evolves.
To those who went on vituperative rages against fonts, the color purple, circles, I feel for you in a different way.
Iâve been discovering version after version of die zauberflote and naĂŻma, and going down a Motown rabbit hole. I love 1.8, and Iâm not sorry about it. That doesnât take away from anyone else who is either having a rough go of it, or who hates/dislikes it because of their use case, or who just has a visceral ugh reaction. We all paid a lot for it.
But Iâd also ask folks to have empathy for the team that put it together, and try to work on the best way to achieve change. Thatâs part of what makes me like Roon regardless of version, color, font, circles vs squares, local vs streaming. This community of people who just dig it.
