Mobile app crashing on restart to a local files playlist

The issue is as follows: I have a playlist created exclusively with local files on my laptop which I then synchronise with the mobile app and download for offline listening. I'm listening to the songs on the playlist on my mobile phone and when I pause and minimize the app to use something else for a moment, I am no longer able to go back to Spotify because it crashes (black screen and after couple of seconds the app closes with an error). Following that, even if I restart my phone, force the app to shut down, I am no longer able to reopen it as it crashes on open (probably trying to get back to what was played as last, i.e. the downloaded local file) Cleaning the cache does not help either. The only option is to uninstall the app and reinstall it which basically causes the app to log me out and desynchronize the playlists, which I then need to synchronize all over again to experience the same problem when I minimize it. Not a very convenient thing to do...
