Update: I've been using the app extensively for years and love all of the fresh music. They fixed all of my complaints from my last review years ago. Thanks for all the work! --- The app will stop playing music after a couple tracks if left in the background. I have to constantly go back to the app to resume playing. Also, sad to see the ads even after I paid for the app before it went free.

Hi Sunny, could you try restarting your phone to see if that helps with playback? The app no longer included ads.

I have loved this app for years. Was more than happy to pay for the full version twice (switched from iPhone to Android), but it is basically non-functional at this point... For the past 2 months have had songs stop playing at random, and playlists won't continue without me repeatedly hitting play after every track. I am updated to the latest version and it's still not working. Please fix!! Also, as others have said, Android needs offline feature

Thanks, Sara. Could you try reinstalling your app to see if that helps? Email us at android@hypem.com to troubleshoot more.

Love the people-oriented curation of music. Would love it more if there was a section for cached songs (so I don't have to use my data). Recent (March 2021) updates has resulted in songs not playing. The only fix I've found is to uninstall and reinstall the app, but this is an easy enough workaround for a free app/service. Still giving them $3 / mo to support their dev efforts.
