WGN Radio - Chicago's Very Own 4+

I used to use this app exclusively. It was great and I loved it. In the last year or so, the app is buggy. I will be listening and go to pause, by tapping on my headphones pause button. Sometimes pause works, sometimes I go to iOS control panel and pressing play does not work. I have to go into the app and select play. Sometimes I will pause and later I will notice the app has started playing again. I have stopped using the app all together. Just go to the Apple Music app and search for WGN radio or tell Siri to play WGN radio. You don’t need the app.

The WGN App has a lot of potential & has a lot of content to offer, but it also has a couple of MAJOR flaws;

1. Any audio I open (podcast or livestream) stops when my phone locks & its screen goes black. This is NOT how TuneIn & ApplePodcasts behave!

2. The app uses a LOT of cellular data. I often don’t have WIFI access, & usually just open the app at most for 5 min/daily, but it’s one of my highest-cellular-usage apps!

Every time my phone changes access points (all same SSID) as I move between upstairs and downstairs, I hear the connection commercial for Chevy again. This interrupts the program and is very irritating. I used to use radio garden to avoid this problem, but it seems that WGN cut off that access. Other station's apps don't have this issue. Don't I listen to enough commercials in the program stream? Please fix.
