Roon Essentials Remote

This works perfectly fine. 5 stars! I have not had any problems with this app. So long as the gear is correctly integrated into the network, this app excels. If you have bad gear or bad wifi you will have a bad experience. It is not the apps fault if your gear is sub par. Both regular Roon and Roon Essentials repeatedly advise the end user that their gear needs to be top notch to enjoy high end audio performance. If there are any drawbacks: It would be nice if the font size could be controlled to make it easier to read the voluminous information this app returns about songs, artists and genres in collection. I have not been disappointed by this app. On the contrary, I have been blown away by it.

Update 6/15/2020 The updated app works fine on Android 10. Found the discovery server and I can play through my NAS and stream from TIDAL without any problem. Love it! Original review 5/10/2020 In its current state, the app just hangs at the initial logo screen for Android 10. Supposedly it is being fixed, but if you plan to get a Elac Discovery music server (which is the only device currently this app controls) realize that you won't currently be able to control it from an Android 10 device.

Can not use the keyboard within the app (ex. For search etc. ) . The keyboard appears and doesn't stay put, will constantly disappear. Very often can not connect to elac disvover
