Only works when the app is open – Amazon Fire TV Review

I had been using this app for over a year and loved it. I run this on an iOS device (iPhone 6s). I upgraded to the new software recently and now I am only able to watch tv while my phone is open. As soon as my phone goes to sleep it pauses the show I’m watching. Bummer. :( I hope this gets fixed and I can give this app the 5 stars it deserves.
