Lock screen widget shows previous (outdated) track.

The background album cover image is updated though. Pressing power twice (display off then on) triggers an update and the display is correct again.

new update - never ending loading green wheel

This needs to be fixed ASAP. You guys keep screwing up after every update and I'm paying for this service. Nothing loads and I'm starting to wonder why I keep paying for a service that always breaks.

PL radio only plays the same 20 or so tracks.

I haven't found any reason for this, nor any way fix it. I've tried skipping tracks but I can only do it so many times. I've thumbed one or two down, but once I do,I can't thumb down any more for some reason.
