Finally gave up on this. After closing, the app would keep itself in the notifications bar. I was in touch with the developers, but after just a few back-and-forths they stopped communicating with me. Lately it has been crashing as well, so I can't be bothered with it any more - it's a sloppy app and the developers should take this project a little more seriously.

Very irritating bug. Would give 5 stars otherwise.

I'm always going from appointment to appointment, at the gym, running errands and I've hated missing out on some of my fave programs, local and national. No more!

Terrible app. Must force stop to close, no buffering causes live stream to cut in and out. Nexus 6 running Android 7.0.
