Has iOS 8 stopped third-party access to Clock's "Stop Playing" ability?

This also happens on other apps such as Bard Mobile. The problem is intermittent. I have the problem on an iPhone 6+ also on iOS 8

the Bard app is by the Library of Congress. I've called both Bard at the state level and Bard at the library of Congress with no response.

Their Bard mobile app now also has a time issue using the fast forward and rewind commands or buttons. Prior to iOS 8 they would respond ten seconds I minute, five minutes, fifteen minutes, etc. now they only say seconds seconds, minutes minutes, minutes minutes. So it appears that iOS 8 has changed the time program which in turn affects the clock stop playing feature which I used every night while listening to a book in the middle of the night for thirty minutes. It now usually keeps playing. One other possibility is if you leave the clock open after starting the timer it seems to work, or this could be the intermittent part.

Let's hope someone at Apple cares.

Additional information. If you set the timer to play something such as silk the timer works, plays the sound and stops playing the book being played by the Bard mobile app. If you set the timer to "stop playing" the book continues to play when the timer ends. Stop playing does not work in iOS 8. Should be simple for Apple to correct since it is easily reproducible.

Having the same problem. Timer expires and streaming audio continues AND it goes to the lock screen even if the timer was set for only one minute. The "Stop Playing" feature was great and i don't understand why they fooled with it.
