Stability improvements and minor bug fixes

User reviews

If you UPDATE Jan-2023 app stops working.

I'm uninstalling you app after posting this. If a program leaves users behind then I erase that app because I am DONE WITH YOU.

Horrible today

Today (4/28) I can’t tell you how many times I’ve had to restart my phone w/ this app running. WTH is up? It buffers or it totallly takes me out and I have to push the play button again. Seriously?! Using iPhone 8 Plus

Shuts off by itself

Just as was reported by an earlier review....2yrs ago....this app still shuts off by itself after listening for about 5 minutes. So, after 2 years with this issue, it STILL isn’t fixed. Oh yes, you can restart it, but who wants to do that every 5 minutes??? Works great....other than that. I am probably being somewhat generous giving it a 2. Running iPhone XS Max 64g.
