My Question or Issue
Offline mode was always SUPER reliable last year. It did what it says on the tin, you download once and it just always worked. I know for a fact that a recent update has been implemented where the app needs to connect to the Internet every single time you launch it now, as it even has a lag/delay on my mobile phone too when in bad reception areas.
This is dreadful as I don't have WiFi in my car and almost every time I get in and just want to listen to music, the damn thing doesn't work and I have to turn on my phones mobile hotspot, connect, then disable it again. It causes me distractions when driving and is a massive pain. Can this be reversed please to work how it did before?
Whilst I understand you are trying to detect if the app is being used by multiple devices at the same time, I'm a genuine paying customer and just want it to work when I get in my car and I'm also in terrible reception areas with my phone.
Maybe you could implement some type of timeout where if it doesn't detect Internet, allow it to almost instantly play music, but then give perhaps a 30 day warning that you will need to connect just once to Internet before it then disables..?
This distrust and annoying crippling of offline mode is making me question my requirement for the service, and consideration of going back to mp3 so it just works.
