The iOS app is very juddered while scrolling. I wish it was smooth like most other apps because it makes the experience feel amateurish. It’s always been an issue with Roon in my experience. Does anyone else experience this and feel this way? I would imagine it would put off new users. Particularly anyone on a free trial.
How do you raise an issue or request for improvement to the Roon developers?
Yes this has been a long-standing complaint but there are probably several variants of this, some having been fixed but not all.
What phone model are you using?
iPhone 14 Pro
Then it’s probably this:
I doubt it has anything to do with the iPhone 14 Pro. Everything else apart from Roon has super smooth scrolling. Even this community site in any browser on the phone. No other app on the phone has this issue. It’s a problem with Roon.
Update
I just Installed Roon on my partner’s iPhone 15 (not Pro). Same issue.
Well most other software can deal with the 120 FPS. This is explained in the linked thread.
Then this is a different issue. Like I said, there is more than one. In this case, please see the instructions in the last post of the linked thread, i.e., this one:
The iPhone 15 is not a pro phone. It’s a problem with roon. Always had the issue on all phones I’ve had. It’s an issue Roon don’t seem to be able to fix. Perhaps their new partners will know how to fix it.
Interestingly the Roon ARC app doesn’t have the issue.
Here’s what it looks like…
That’s why the post I linked gives instructions for what to do if the affected phone is not a Pro phone
Yes it’s a major bugbear they just can’t seem to sort out. It seems to get worse over time the app is used as well.
I think I read that ARC is built on Flutter and I think it inherits proper behavior for free from the Flutter toolkit.
The Roon remotes are built on Roon‘s proprietary cross-platform toolkit, which gives them a common implementation across Win, Mac, iOS, and Android. It was probably a good idea back then but obviously it comes with additional in-house maintenance, and there were no 120 Hz phones back then.
It’s super annoying and one way or another they need to fix it.
Doesn’t make any difference, but thanks anyway
