It is disappointing that the last few versions of this very welcome and useful app have become impossible due to random and frequent stopping. It is not fixed by reinstallation. Hope that the new version 8 promised soon fixes it. UPDATE NOW TRIED V8. Same problem. Randomly stops. First time after 20min, then after several minutes, repeatedly. ABC PLEASE FIX IT - WE WANT IT - IT'S GREAT WHILE IT'S WORKING!

App keeps stopping and rewinding, tried everything recommended and it fixes it for a while and then it stars again. Really frustrating when you are in the middle of listening to it. Please fix it as it seems from reading other reviews it has been happening for years!

Since the latest update, there are buffering issues. So, if playback is interrupted eg. By a call or playing video on the device and then you finish and the app continues, it plays what it had buffered (Max 1 min.) and then stops. Even if you just stop the playback, and restart it, it isn't live streaming, it just plays what was buffered and stops. The old version never had this issue, pls address it 🙏
