My Question or Issue

I've recently started using Spotify again. Unfortunately, whilst listening to music in the background, it will randomly stop playing. The time it takes for this to happen ranges from a few minutes to about an hour.

If I subsequently open the app from the background, all I see is a black screen. It also looks like it's trying to load the rest of the graphics, although however long I wait, the app no longer responds. The only way to get it working again is to completely close out and start over.

I've also noticed that when this happens, my notification area breaks, and I can no longer drag notifications down to expand them. This requires a restart to fix.

I have already tried completely reinstalling the latest version of the app from the App Store. My tablet is also updated to the latest version and naturally I've tried restarting it.
