It’s a great app, but for some reason it is inconsistent about playing in the background. Sometimes it plays just fine with the screen locked, other times it won’t. Really would get more out of it if it played in the background more often.

Can not listen on headphones.

I like that this app is truly free and doesn’t make me purchase anything. I will watch ads. That is not a problem, but I do have a problem with this app not connecting with my Bluetooth headsets. It will connect when an ad is on, but once it goes back to the music, then it’s only on the phone speakers.
