Ratings and reviews

Edit: thanks for the reply. You're right, it was set as a 'sleeping app'. Toggled off, problem solved. Much appreciated and changed my rating to reflect the quick help and resolution. Impossible to listen to live radio. Every time the phone screen switches off, the content stops. Surely a bug? Can't find a setting to toggle to try to get around it. So annoying and sadly just means I can't listen to LBC from my phone.

Really poor app, whilst listening in the car using phone (old car no digital radio) when you get out of the car the radio is paused when you get back to the car can be confusing when the app picks up where left off ( I want to choose when to pause), when you open the app to stop play it won't you have to go to the panel in notification page and this only allows you to pause not stop to stop you then have to go to the app to stop it as a result I have stopped listening to LBC in the car.

Rubbish - clear bug with app for last few months... Which they haven't fixed. LBC please sort this out as it is running the experience. When you use another app and then move back to LBC app it doesn't allow play to resume. Instead you have to close LBC app and open again before it will play!! I've uninstalled and installed again but still doesn't work properly. V diapering this bug has not been sorted and fixed yet. I have a Sony Xperia 1iv running on android.
