Spotify freezing/crashing at start-up ???????

Hi,

 

Since Sunday (17/05/2015) Spotify has stopped working on my mobile phone, up until then I had had no issues with the Spotify app on my phone. On Sunday I clicked on the app to start Spotify, as normal, and it opened a black screen with the menu symbol in the top left hand corner of the screen, at this point the phone became unresponsive for about a minute and then restarted itself; I attempted to start the app several more times with the same results.

 

I tried  uninstalling and re-installing the app several times, again with the same results. I then checked online and was directed here from the Spotify website; I searched through previous posts and have attempted several of the suggestions posted regarding a clean install of the software, still with no success. The one issue I had when attempting a clean re-install was that I was unable to find, and therefore remove, any additional Spotify data files in the Android system?

 

Finally I have resorted to a factory reset of my phone (attempted twice), removing all apps and data and starting from scratch; Spotify is still behaving in exactly the same way, freezing, making the phone unresponsive, and automatically restarting after a minute or so.

 

My phone only has internal memory, with 12GB of free space, there is no SD card.
