Samsung s10+ Android 12 App seems to work very well for all Apple OS users. GRRR! In 2019 to 2020 ish the app worked- live listening, archived DJ shows, My playlist , Spotify fav list . Listening is a chore. Unless the phone is restarted or the Device Care option is used prior, the app will play for a few minutes then shut down. It only sends song to Spotify. Cant play My feed. Reinstalled App doesnt work.All settings tweeked. This App seems to be using too much Ram memory ?? Please address

Update Oct 2023: I'm a paying member of KCRW and it is extremely frustrating that the app periodically, at least every two months erases my feed that I have spent time building. I'm logged in, set up a feed, it works for a few weeks, and then the feed is erased again. The app has been completely broken for weeks! I have a Samsung S9. nothing plays. Update 8/22/19: the app was working for a few weeks, but it is broken again - when I try to open it the KCRW record just keeps spinning.

I have been using this app for years, love the content and kcrw is my all time favorite station for music. However the latest version of the app is full of bugs and not working. I thought it was my phone but I just got a new one and am experiencing the same issues. I hope your tech team can resolve this soon! I live outside California and rely on the app to stream live and also tap into all your incredible archives.
