Hi Esther, I had caught that post . I thought about it so I timed some of my usage. In the instances where the app closed, I was listening to the stream for less than 10 minutes each time except 1. This time, the app closed after 42 minutes. I think I might try reinstalling the app.
Thank you for the suggestion. This is a real head scratch for me.
