Issues while running the app in background
While using the app in background as a service, it first works correctly but after a while when I open another app it stops until I close the app. I even can't lock my phone because it stops the reproduction. The rest, works like a charm!
Please open a ticket using this site Contact support button in case of an issue. This current section is dedicated to new feature suggestion.
Most of the app crash and freeze are currently caused by a bug in the Google Play Services (used to display Ad Banner).
Google finally announced yesterday that they fixed it and that they will deploy the new version next week. After that I’m guessing those issues will be fixed.

Sorry to hear about that but as I explained in my answer, playback is handled by a service. The only way it can stop is if Android drop the app or if some battery saver/settings killed the app.
Up until now, everytime this kind of issue has been reported it has been solved by disabling those settings/apps.
Battery saver settings/apps can behave differently with different app.
If you're running Android 5.x but not the latest 5.1.1 version, then the issue is different. Android Lollipop has major memory leaks which makes it drop apps while decreasing device performance upon time. This is fixed in Android 5.1.1. In the meantime the only workaround is a daily reboot.
This isn't me choosing a way out, this is just the way app works.
The background service will keep playing until playback is paused, until playback fails in which case the app displays an error message or until the service is being killed.Which Android version/device are you using.
Please answer by email as this isn't the place to report bugs.

Here's a suggestion! Make the app behave correctly when in the background. I emailed you this week and you only blames it on my phone utilities. Hmm. Doesn't happen with OTHER players. Huh. Maybe your folks should accept a problem, fix it, then let us know instead of taking the easy way out
