App Constantly Requires Force Close/Restart to Reconnect to Devices

First time opening the app and viewing a camera works great. But if you leave the app and go back after 30 seconds, it can't reconnect to the camera or display another camera feed. Same goes for outlets and other devices. I have to force close the app and restart it to work. No settings help has resolved it.
