I'm clearly in the minority, but the new app is leaps and bounds more usable and stable for me. The functionality gaps don't affect me - those features weren't things I used. And it's way, way more responsive and consistent than the old one.

Perhaps it's just my specific network situation. The old app was a constant headache of inconsistent state - music playing while it showed nothing playing, pressing commands (like skipping a track or pausing) but those commands never happening on the device. It also took a very long time to show my entire device list. Never quite worked with the Roam like it should have.

So your experience is the exact mirror of mine. Old app was flawless and pretty low latency.

As soon as the new one came along I had the issues you describe with control latency - volume or track changes would either take a random amount of time, or do nothing, or sometimes queue up and all apply at once. Also had inconsistent state, the app showing music as playing while nothing happened, or the reverse. The app's home screen only partially loading, all sorts of crap, with the same issues present on android or iOS.

And apparently I'm one of the lucky ones - some people can't add new products or find existing ones.

Maybe one day they'll release a version that works for both of us :)
