My Question or Issue

Spotify is unable to stay connected to wifi or data for more than half a song.  I have cleared my phone cache, restarted my phone, reinstalled the app, logged off and back in, ensured offline mode is turned off, cleared all music downloads.  I still cannot get spotify to prevent itself from going offline every minute or so. 

Oddly enough, this offline mode does not stop the song I am streaming or the songs I have queued up.  It simply makes it impossible to browse spotify to look for more music and gives me a tiny window to pick what I want to listen to before spotify becomes unusable again. 

Reinstalling does not work.  Logging out and in does not work.  Going into settings and turning off all the data saving settings and allowing spotify full access to data does not work.  Clearing Cache does not work.  Staying on wifi without data does not work.  Staying on data without wifi does not work.  It goes offline after a few seconds regardless.

Someone please give me a reason not to uninstall this broken app.
