A lot has been said already about Roon scrolling performance on Apple devices (like most, I find it to be rather meh on my MacBook Air M2 and abysmal on my iPhone 15 Pro). Running the latest betas of macOS Sequoia and iOS 18 however, I found that scrolling inside a mirrored iPhone window on my Mac is a lot better – dare I say smooth even?
I found the same thing running Roon on Windows 11 inside a Parallels Virtual Machine (translating x86 code to Arm included). Not sure what to make of it (or even if I’ll be using it much), other than noting there appears to be ample room for improvement here.
(ARC does not appear to respond too well to mirroring – it opens fine, clicking and arrow key navigation works OK, but scrolling with trackpad/mouse is blocked and does not do anything. Navigating ARC by keyboard only gets old very quickly… ;-)).
I think ther only way they will sort this is to refactor the app and go native. Which is unlikely to happen. I think the current architecture has had its day and can’t keep up. It certainly due a refresh as if you can make muse work on ARC you can in Roon.
