RoseConnect Premium

I love the sound and features of the Rose 150B, but this app spoils it. So confusing to use and buggy for me. Also the Autoplay algorithm is the worst I’ve seen. For me, I might have to forego some sound quality and go with another streamer that has a better interface. Too bad!

With a recent update, there was regression where the app couldn’t find HiFi Rose device! Saw a 3 September update for the app, so I deleted the iOS app and it’s data, went to the AppStore and did a fresh install. Just like before, the device couldn’t be found on my network. And yet again, after entering the IP address the device is found briefly, but the IP address is not retained, and the device is lost. It’s good that the device can be easily managed from the it’s own touch screen, otherwise if it was only iOS app operated, you would have a brick on your hand.

The app works and is stable which is good but the broken English translation all the way through in the app is terrible. Using words like “UnActive” instead of “Inactive” or “This is not playing status” instead of just saying “Not Playing” or even “Listen this music now” versus “Listen TO this music now”. Additionally the app is somewhat cumbersome, I would like the option to re-arrange the selection icons at the bottom of the screen or be able to disable unused options. I would really like to see some improvements here and would be happy to assist with more ideas. I just find it hard for the cost of the RS150B to not have an app of equal quality.
