Please, single Android dev maintaining this app, fix the bug that breaks playback after the app is suspended and reopened. It will finish the current track, then end playback. If you try to hit play, it will give a vague error, though it is clearly a clientside issue. I discovered that skipping around in the queue will repair the app's state. Reach out to me if you need more info on how to reproduce the issue.

Works perfectly as long as your core is running and you are setup correctly. Great app and seamless in operation on the go. Did not have a single issue in the last 2 months of trial usage. Love the interface and the selection options to listen and tweak settings as needed. I think people who are having issues are the ones who did not do the port forwarding of this app on their router most likely. I'm streaming it from my NAS with the core in it and it works flawlessly.

App has been working great for a long time now, until last week! Now I can only play a couple of songs from an album before I get a 'core unreachable' error. Been able to fix this in the past by clearing cache, clearing data, reinstalling app, checking & resetting port forwarding. What else could I be missing? My chief request, other than the fix to above, is to be able to transfer to and from Roon zones. It would be great to be able continue listening to a album or Playlist when I leave.
