BUYER BEWARE! Before purchasing any subscriptions, be aware that Mixcloud has a terrible buffering problem! (Edited) I have discovered that the 'buffering' appears to be a caching issue of some kind. About every 10-30 seconds the stream will stop and show a still frame of the video that was played earlier, then pick back up. This is happening on several test devices, iPhone, android, Chrome, edge, wireless and ethernet. This is a coding problem not a bandwidth problem.

Good mixes. But the app is inconsistent. I have followed the directions from mixcloud on their site, and their app is still a lagging battery hog. It has this weird thing also where it flashes to the sign on screen for a split second and then goes to the app. There's something definitely wrong with it. It's a shame because the music is very good.

Firstly, I love the mixcloud service. It is one of the best places I've found for live electronic sets, usually good sound quality for live sets too. My critique of the app is that in my case, it was having a not shutting down problem. No matter how many times the app is closed it still runs in the background constantly, only way to stop the play controls from keeping popping up in notifications is to restart phone. Hopefully you get the bugs in your app fixed, love what your service provides!
