Crashing

I love soundcloud but recently for some reason the app keeps crashing as soon as I open it, I’ve reinstalled twice and the problem persists. Please fix.

Great music app

This is a great app for listening to music. My only problem is that now I can’t even open the app and when I can it just kicks me out immediately. I’m hoping it’s a fixable issue

Since version 8.82, app crashes on boot or before song play

I may be using a 2023 phone, but it seems I’m not the only one dealing with these crashes on bootup every single time, making the app unusable
