Ahh, I'm not sure what's happened, but since the last 2 updates, the app just keeps crashing. This has happened before in the early days. The only way I can keep the app going is to have the phone on with the app open. It has just stopped while I'm writing this message.......... ahhhhh, twice now. Please fix 🙏

Works as described. However, within the first few minutes after starting, music reception is lost and buffering begins. Switching from one radio station to the next sometimes helps resolve this issue! Once you’ve managed to regain reception again after several attempts getting the app to work, music will remain on point throughout the day with no issues thereafter. Otherwise it can be an inconvenience to use when there are more robust and reliable music apps available than this one.

The last picture of the description shows: "Connect - Play it loud on your favourite devices: Smart/Phone app, Airplay, Chromecast, SONOS, Apple Carplay & Android Auto, Amazon Alexa." I was surprised because Sonos is a proprietary casting service from Sonos. No app, except Sonos and Spotify, have the Sonos casting protocol. But... this app has no casting ability at all. So, no Airplay, no UPnP/DLNA and no Chromecast. What's the point of this app if we can choose many free worldwide radio apps???
