Anyone else having trouble with Roon?

I signed up for Roon's Black Friday special for new members. For some reason, in two weeks, Roon has only synched about 7 out of my many Qobuz playlists. It adds another playlist randomly every 3 or 4 days. I've tried all of the suggestions from their tech support, but nothing helps. I'm wondering if their servers are overloaded from all the Black Friday sign-ups (the deal is 3 months for $15, so I'm sure they got a lot of action). Since Roon doesn't work for me though, the deal is worthless. BTW, I am accessing Roon on a Macbook Air and running through a Node via wifi. My digital system works fine unless I am on Roon. Thanks for any suggestions.

I enjoy my Qobuz through Audirvāna.It took a while to master most of of the functions but now I’m enjoying the interface and the sound quality. Audirvāna really makes a difference with Qobuz and Tidal which I had previously.

How much ram does your MacBook have? 
When I was using my MacBook with 8 gb of ram everything seem slow as it slowly started using all of it.

iIbought a used Mac mini with 32 gb ram and everything has been perfect since.

I purchased a lifetime Roon license, and have been running the core on a QNAP NAS since the beginning.  No major issues, though I would prefer that for lifetime suscribers Roon would not require periodic revalidation of the license over the web.

Roon ARC is another story.  This has been buggy and crash-prone and has required repeated deletion and reinstallation of the iphone app.   However ARC has recently stabililized and seems to work much better than before.
