@purchases55555 could you let us know which version of AntennaPod you are using? Or try downloading the latest version of AntennaPod from the Google Playstore and see if the problem still happens?

My case is everytime when I return the app, then click the playing banner on the bottom for playing details, the player will stop.

@zivmax When you go into Settings -> Report Bug, you do not see a crash?

How many podcasts are you subscribed to? Does it crash on all episodes?

yep, on all episodes.

The app won't crash, more like the page crashed.

I also just found the key is opening episode details page after returning the app.
