I get a certain piece notified but when press on it rarely goes to it. Then try and search and can't find it. Experienced silence or no sounds! But YouTube works fine and everything else ok

Since the last update, using voice tags to select a station means the app sticks on that station. Also, the station lists sticks to the top of my Android Auto screen. I thought this might be an Android Auto issue. But this doesn't affect my other media apps. This means stations can only be changed/selected by handling the phone. The second problem only occurs after using voice commands to select a station. Consequently, your app is more or less useless when I am driving.

There is not enough drama or comedy drama, also limited choice on old favourites, repeating the odd episode rather than letting us have access to full series and back catalogue.
