This app keeps freezing and/or crashing. It's very hard to get it to stop and start again reliably. I usually have to open app management and force a stop then open it again. I have emailed LBC/the developers about this issue on several occasions without receiving a reply. Presumably my issues are not of interest to them.

The app has improved however whoever it ALWAYS fully re-initialises itself if you launch it from the home launcher icon. This is directly against Android programming guidelines. You can switch back and forth perfectly and rapidly using Android task switching, however often I open it up from the home / launcher app icon and when that happens take 10 - 15s just to re-initialise the user interface. If you compare to other quality Android apps you'll notice they don't do that.

Good app! Not only you have the news but you also have a lot of popular radio channels, like Capital Fm and others. It has catch ups, podcasts and more. The great plus is that it works in the background! I can listen to music/news and do something else on my phone without having the music stopping!
