Roon ARC

Takes days to download 50 odds songs, and that is when the Roon server is not acting up. Tried to contact Roon and looks like they only have a PR department but no support. Got referred to the “communities” for help. Saw hundreds having the same problem but no solution. Don’t get tricked by those hifi influencers, this app isn’t worth the hype.

Somtime can listen,sometime can't see the music file. Why? That always happen in old donwload music file.

This is the best player that I can use on iPhone so far. It links to my room seamlessly and I can download some albums to listen on the road without using the mobile data. Excellent job!

High quality music player

This app has been unusable for over a year. Each new release brings hope that the developers have finally fixed all the issues, but one minute into playing a song all hopes are dashed. The app locks up becoming unresponsive. It crashes with a full app closure within a minute into a song. I’ve never seen an apple app crash like this. It’s completely unusable and has been for over a year. These problems occur with both streamed and downloaded offline content so it’s not a connection or server issue — it’s the app playback coding. The developers are either incompetent or simply don’t care. In any case, don’t subscribe to Roon if the lure of what the Arc app promises is important to you.

I have music I own that I’d like to take with me on my phone occasionally. Theoretically, ARC should do that, but it’s too flaky to be useable. Whenever I go to use it, usually it’s not ready to go. I have to spend 10-15 minutes getting it in working order. Usually, it gets stuck and the only recourse is to reinstall, which means I have to spend the next several days downloading because it cannot download things in large batches without getting stuck, which sometimes also requires re-installing. At least, that’s what happened last time I had to re-install. I’ve queued up my library for download, maybe it’ll work this time.

Almost instantly. Crashed my Sonic Transporter while “loading library for the first time”. Back to PlexAmp

Downloading tracks is a nightmare. If my screen goes to sleep while an album is downloading, downloading completely stops, and I have to force quit the app and re-open it to get downloads to resume. Why can’t downloads continue while the screen is off. And why won’t downloads resume after the screen is reawakened? And how freaking hard could it be to expand the interface to properly fill an iPad screen?

How come we still don’t have an iPad version. I use it every night when I go to bed and that small screen is annoying.
