it keeps stopping once every few hours. it's now happening more frequently. Used to be 3 times a day. I counted 12 the other day ._. EDIT: Lowered from 2 to 1 star. Decided listening to my local library is better than listening to radio, as at least the Samsung music player won't crash EDIT: Now I'm forced to "sign up"again, and it's asking to enable location services. I want to say "Not blue" but that option is behind the home button, and I'm forced to enable it. uninstalling this trash

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???
