Search function crashes app

[Scientist_Sam]

Hi Spotify,

I have been using spotify for approx. 4 years. I feel as though I have to start this topic due to lack of fixes and discussions that have helped via google search and using the spotify community.

Device 

Samsung Galaxy S7 SM-G930F

Android Version 7.0

I will attempt to search for a song (while connect to wifi or 4G), I am able to type in one letter e.g 'K' (sometimes this will return an artist starting with K). I will then go to type a second letter 'i' ('Ki') and the app will freeze and then crash. Sometimes the song I am listening to contiunues and sometimes it stops (when app crashes).

I have tried re-installing app and have tried logging out and logging in, however no luck. This bug is so frustrating, that it has driven me to write this post. I am sure there are other posts out there. However I cant seem to find an 'actual working' solution. 

Can you please provide a solution? Music is important to me and I am also paying for the service. 

Thanks,

Sam
