BBC Sounds has stopped working for several weeks. The 'Play' button needed to listen to programmes does not load. Very annoying!

BBC Sounds will not play any programmes. I have rebooted and reloaded programmes but it will only load up to a point but not as far as having the play button. When will this be fixed (again)?

The bbc sounds app works perfectly for 3/4 weeks and then break down first it will not respond to the touch of the screen repeats touches eventually work then either the app refuses to open or the download will refuse to play then my only option is to delete the app and reinstall which means I have to go through the last 4 weeks radio times and reinstall all the programs I want total pain between the cheeks there’s absolutely nothing wrong with my phone I’m a great fan of the radio having been brought up with the friend in the corner I’m particularly fond of radio drama I’m not the only one there is something seriously wrong with this app

At the end of a programme, (replay), app locks and it is impossible to exit app. Only solution is to reboot the tablet.
