Barely usable—music cuts in and out, app freezes

I don’t know what happened. This app used to be decent. The UI was never phenomenal, but at least it worked reliably and generally worked well with Chromecast audio. However, over the past few months, it has gone downhill with no signs of improvement. I am considering dropping my subscription. The problem is with this app and not my network; other Chromecast audio apps work flawlessly. I hope Google can get their act together; I wish this worked!
