Spotify things forever then freezes phone

Spotify things forever then freezes phone

Description

My spotify keeps staling when trying to get to playlists or play music. Freezes phone in sleep mode when I unplug headphones, overall unable to use the app.

 

What are the steps you took to get to the error/issue?

Sign on to Spotify, then select a playlist to listen to. I get the thinking green circle forever and then the phone freezes in sleep mode. Required a battery pull to use phone again. This happens 75% of the time when using the app

 

What I expected to happen

 

I expect to listen to my playlists when I would like and not have the app break my phone, especially since I pay for it!
