version 3.6.5 is unfortunately full of bugs and has problems with multiple basic features, I would rather go to the previous version. When can we expect version 3.6.6?

Trying this app again after several years off it. Disappointing to see crippling bugs in it still. Was able to watch about 5 minutes of videos, after which sound just quit no matter what I play. Update: I checked permissions, and the app had lost all permissions. I re-granted all, allowing the app to function again. So I'm cautiously increasing my rating.

Edit: They finally updated the app and fixed the issues below. So back to 5. It is now almost unusable. As others have pointed out after each notification it drops 5 seconds back, resumes for 5 seconds, then ends. Have to pull the track back up and search for where I was. It used to work great, now I have to use another app.
