User Reviews

Users praise the Roon Essentials Remote app for its comprehensive music management features and seamless streaming on supported devices and networks. However, many report frequent connectivity issues with Elac Discovery devices, compatibility problems with Android 10 causing crashes or freezes, and keyboard input problems. The app demands high-quality gear and network setups to perform well. Compatibility with certain Sony devices is limited. Overall, the app excels under optimal conditions but faces significant technical challenges for many users on newer Android versions.
Pros
  • Works well when properly integrated into a good network and hardware setup.
  • Allows streaming from NAS and TIDAL without problems on compatible Android versions.
  • Provides comprehensive information on songs, artists, and genres.
  • The app is effective for controlling Elac Discovery devices under the right conditions.
Cons
  • Frequent disconnections from Elac Discovery devices requiring re-setup.
  • Compatibility issues with Android 10, causing the app to hang or crash on launch.
  • Keyboard functionality is problematic, disappearing during use, making searching difficult.
  • Limited device compatibility, notably issues with Sony NW-ZX507.
  • Requires high-quality network and hardware to function properly; poor gear leads to a bad experience.

Continues to disconnect from my Elac Discovery. Won't reconnect and I have to delete my Discovery just to find it again then start all over. Does this almost every 30 minutes. Also won't allow me to sign in sometimes and just says to check my connection so again I have to delete everything and start again
