I used to love this app. Coincident to my Note 5 upgrading to Android 6.0.1 stories only play for about a minute. E.g. if I select all the stories in morning edition the first will play for about a minute  cut off  wait several seconds and the next story starts. The cycle repeats. It appears if I keep my screen from dimming the story will play to the end. This is not a real fix plus a huge power hog. Also  now streaming does not work either. I've noted in reviews by some other users similar problems. I've tried to get answers from NPR but no help. Currently the app is useless.
