Spotify consistently crashing!

[1993nmg]

I have been a dedicated Spotify member since 2012. For years this has been hands down the best music app for me but lately over the past 6 months or so I've had the SAME problem and it has not yet been resolved.
Over these 6 months I've been experiencing issues with Spotify crashing ALL THE TIME. Within an hour the app completely crashes anywhere between 3-5 times. This is extremely aggravating to deal with. Whether my phone is locked or open, when Spotify is running it never fails to crash. I'm not one to write reviews at all, but this has been a problem for so long that I felt it was necessary to make the company aware of what's going on.
I've expressed this issue with friends who have the app and they say they don't really experience this problem, or not nearly as much as I do. I have tried literally every other music service available for the iOS and in terms of quality, features, user friendly interface, and productivity; Spotify reigns supreme overall. Literally, I'm not joking when I say I have tried it all.
I have re-installed the app numerous times (which is a pain because I have to sync all my music over again), restarted my phone, cleared cache and unnecessary files on my phone, etc. Still not fixed. I stay updated on the latest iOS and version available for Spotify. Still not fixed.
I have done everything in my power to try and troubleshoot the problem but nothing works. I love this app, and for the price it's a great deal. But if this problem continues I'm going to have to unsubscribe to the service. Spotify used to be a flawless application and it seems to just get worse as time goes on. Please figure something out cause I'm getting sick of wasting money on a service that can't provide a properly operating application.
