iPad
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.
United StatesUnreliable, and needs Apple Watch app
Roon is great when it works. That’s equally true for Roon Arc. There’s no good reason why it can’t work behind CGNAT. At the *very* least it should work when the devices have Tailscale or another method of NAT traversal, but really it should handle NAT traversal itself. But even without CGNAT the connection can be unreliable. Once those issues are addressed, please consider adding an Apple Watch app. I’d love to give up my Apple Music subscription and switch to Roon for all my music listening, but that isn’t happening without a Watch app. Otherwise, the app is a joy to use on iPhone, and like I said— everything’s great when it works! Even with the aforementioned issues, I’m glad I bought a lifetime subscription for ~$700.
United StatesInconsistent connectivity
It seems I spend more time troubleshooting ARC instead of just listening. I have major problems over WiFi, and strangely things seem more reliable over mobile networks. I’m also unable to get it to connect on my home network even though Roon Remote works just fine.
United StatesUnusable
The only thing the developer changed in this latest release was to make the app crash faster than before. Last version could sometimes play for 2-3 minutes before it would crash. Now it consistently crashes in 30 seconds. This is for offline downloaded content as well as streaming. This app hasn’t worked for months. What a piece of garbage.
United StatesCan’t get tinto work
I can’t get it to work since it was released. I am an IT professional and have correctly configured my router and core. ARC never connects to my core.
United StatesNever works
From the first day it is very unstable, the application crashes all the time, in each update nothing changes, I have the lifetime membership for which I paid 700 dollars just for nothing. I switched back to plexamp because it always works flawlessly!
United StatesConstant crashes - unusable
The app hasn’t worked right for months. Random crashes. App becomes unresponsive. Even with offline downloaded content, so it isn’t a streaming issue. It used to be 5 stars. What happened?
