Has something changed? – The Great Courses Review

I love TGC. I ventured into TGCPlus territory for awhile, but found the content offerings less interesting. So, I’m back to the original app. However, it is now pausing the playback of my audio downloads when I don’t have the app as the current screen, or when the phone goes into inactive mode. I try to press play from the lock screen, but it doesn’t work. I can’t have my phone open to the app screen all the time. It will drain the battery quickly and I can’t do any multi-tasking. Also, that doesn’t even work, unless I set my phone to not go inactive after a couple minutes. I swear this wasn’t an issue before. What gives?
