Some credit where credit is due. The RoseConnect One app, 1.0.16, is a considerable improvement over RoseConnect 5.09.03. My thanks to the developers and testers.
Pooppirose130,
I totally agree. I was a long suffering critic of the old software. It is nearly the equal of the hardware now. The thorns are gone from the Rose.

No, botanically speaking, real roses don’t have thorns, but prickles. 
And real roses have to have prickles.
Think of Snow White.
Without prickles, this forum wouldn’t exist.
Just like perfection doesn’t exist! We only imagine it, or it’s suggested to us.
PS:
Just a little side note.

I agree…
But let me ask you… how do you use your RoseConnect One app?
For me, its how I power up from standby, and change inputs and volume control more than anything else.
The current home page forces me to first go to the little icon in the upper right to get to the systems screen.
I wish there were a way to get some of those features on the start page.
How do you use your Rose gear?
Hello, Smegel.
I use the RoseConnect One app primarily for Qobuz and Rose Radio. I once preferred Qobuz Connect but since the new app was released I find I rarely use Quobuz Connect.

Yeah but unfortunately no Spotify app.
So that’s why I use this more to control… then use Spotify.
Although I am also using RoseTube for some stuff.
Bonte,
I’m a lowly engineer so a botanist I will never be.
You are absolutely correct.
Rose and Thorn
The rose leaned soft into the sun,
Its velvet petals gently worn;
But every beauty, finely spun,
Still keeps its guard — a hidden thorn.
You reach for bloom, you risk the sting;
That’s how the finest treasures warn:
No perfect grace without a thing
As sharp and honest as the thorn.

Oh, thank you for not misunderstanding. A very nice quote or poem???
Now I’m completely stumped.

Being an engineer and not a poet, I asked my friend ChatGPT to gin one up for me.

I love people who are sincere and don’t take credit for others’ work.
Thank you for your honesty.
PS:
I only know this because I work in the public sector in my hometown. So, in a way, I’m a civil servant responsible for maintaining green spaces and keeping the streets clean. I love my job and earn good money, considering the circumstances. I’m out in nature every day and I’m at home (in my hometown). Unfortunately, the reality is a little different! Most of the time, I’m driving machinery and mowing lawns or attaching my front brush to my tractor and cleaning the streets.
Well, if you didn’t pay attention in school, you end up doing this kind of thing. 
No, seriously, these jobs are in demand because they offer good pay on time and you don’t work yourself to death as a civil servant.

Appreciation from me too!
After a year and a half, I think Rose has changed direction and is on the right track.
