Thank you for your kind feedback. We are aware of this problem and are currently working on solving it. Please update your app to the latest version when you see an option.
great app nice interface but sadly unusable because it does not play in background it stops playing when the screen turn's off or you leave it playing in background so I am forced to use another Radio app to listen to five FM please fix this problem please

Great App version2.0.0... except the live streaming stops when my screen switches of and keeps playing for about 43s if I switch the screen off myself. This is not useful while working having to open my phone and press play in the App every time it pauses the stream. Please fix this with the an update..until then stream using the web player.

“Great App, however the station is not as eclectic in music as it use to be.”
“Love the app - the interface is simple to navigate, and everything you'd find online is available easily without having to navigate a browser.”
A drop after an update usually means the update broke something.
