Hi @Robert_Champion,

Thank you for your post.

It looks like you’re using the Early Access version of Roon on the affected Android phone, while your server has the main Roon production track update.

A track mismatch between EA and production can cause crashing, and other users have reported that switching the phone back to production will resolve the problem:

You should see the option to leave EA on the Roon app main page in Google Play Store.

If that doesn’t help, then please try downloading the APK version of Roon as a workaround in the meantime:
