Mangal Maitri. the app is great as it is. but just in case the techteam is working on future versions here's my experience. if I don't use it for a while it simply reloads the whole app. that is a glitch especially if you are listening to an audio and pause for some other work, and the whole thing resets by the time you comeback.
