iPhone SE and Radio Streaming Apps: Audio in Background Arbitrarily Stops

New iPhone SE (16GB): I use two radio streaming apps:

and

https://itunes.apple.com/de/app/fip/id310237906?mt=8

On the iPhone 4S, that I had before, I had some problems with the first app, none with the second.
Since I have the iPhone SE the streams from both apps constantly stop.
Sometimes it is enough to tap stop/play (the apps seemingly think they are still playing), sometimes I have to throw the app from the pitcher and start it again.

I don’t get more than a few minutes of streaming from both.

I have no problem playing music from the iPhone in the background. Video streaming works fine, but that isn’t in the background obviously.

Audio streaming on my MacBook and iPad 3 work fine (same apps with same versions on the iPad 3 by the way), so it isn’t my DSL connection.

Any ideas anyone?

iPhone SE, iOS 9.3.1

Howdy Udo from Berlin,

I understand that you're experiencing a bit of instability from a couple of apps that you use after upgrading to an iPhone SE. The article linked below (despite the potentially seemingly irrelevant title) details a number of steps that can help restore normal functionality to the affected apps.

If an app you installed unexpectedly quits, stops responding, or won’t open

Eine von Ihnen installierte App wird unerwartet beendet, reagiert nicht mehr oder lässt sich nicht öffnen

Tschuß!
