Almost there. Sort the woeful AppleCar Play for perfection

By far the biggest drawback, and unfortunately the biggest reason for me having this app is the Apple Car Play. It is so annoyingly bad that I invariably stop using it and turn to Spotify.
So close to being perfect apart from this and appreciate not everyone will use this function so based the rating on a general experience.

Potential to be the best

This has potential to be the best music player but the stability issues need fixing. It often stops while streaming songs, won’t play them at all or won’t open the library when I open the app. I set it to play uncompressed on Wi-Fi and 256 OPUS on 4G. I think this contributes to the freezing/ stops as the app can’t seem to switch from 1 signal over to the other without a full reset. I have an iPhone 15 PM and Roon Arc appears to be 1 of the overheating bug apps. Due to the instability of streaming, I tried to download approx 10GB of music via Arc. The iPhone got very hot on the screen, left edge, and near the lenses on the back. It also took over an hour which means my full library would take me days if it didn’t melt my phone. I am using an alternative music streaming app on iOS for now: very stable, quick downloads and my phone doesn’t even get warm when downloading. I will continue to use Roon on Mac as it is probably the best player on there. Roon Arc needs work.

Great sound but the app is not working 100%

Room is probably one of the best players and library managers that I found for my Mac. The sound is brilliant and it works pretty great with my Eversolo. But the mobile app is not working as the desktop does. On mobile is pretty unstable and some of the features are not working 100% . Try to play a radio station from any band or song and you will wait for something to happen but nothing happens. It’s a shame because as I said, the desktop app is great but if you compare ARC with other similar apps like PlexAmp, there is still some pathway to walk for ARC. I hope they will do it in a close future.
