Ratings and reviews

What's the deal? Was there a recent upgrade? I've noticed over the past few weeks that the audio feed will now shut off for no reason. It also stops when my phone screen shuts off. It never used to do this. It is so very annoying to have to completely close, reopen, and then relaunch the audio feed. I use this app's function to sync to my TV. With whatever change recently happened, this app is basically useless.

I like the app. The main radio station I used to listen to the Tar Heels doesn't carry the games anymore so the app comes in really handy. Also being able to listen to teams outside of my area is really nice. My main issue with the app is that it doesn't keep playing if the screen turns off. It really annoying to have to keep restarting the feed.

Only audio app I've used on Android that disappears from the list of active apps when minimized, meaning there is no way to pull it back to the front and control audio. There is also no way to exit the app other than force stop. Most of the time it just stops on its own, when I'm still listening to it, after running in the background for a few minutes. Pretty terrible.
