Tidal skips to next track, or restarts when paused iPhone

Hi, I did a search and didn't find anything.  
My issue is as described above. Tidal songs skip to the next song in the midst of playback, at least 1/2 the time if not more. Also, if I pause the app it will restart on it's own, but at the next song.
Streaming iPhone 5S, IOS 9.2.1, connected to Rotel 1570 via USB cord. Speedtest shows 22.56 Mbps download bandwidth.

I sent a support request to Tidal but have not heard back yet. 

This has been going on since I first downloaded the app yesterday. Thanks for any suggestions - I'll post whatever Tidal says for future reference.

when it acts up I unplug it for a few minutes...when I first started Tidal it happened more often, now almost never

I have the same 22 - 23 speed, but sometimes it just stops, lousy service

Hmm, ok thanks. I'll see what I can do and maybe move my router to be closer as well.

My problems usually arise when I'm moving my phone around, either walking around or even worse when driving.

Thanks, this is with the phone resting on the rack, directly connected via cable to the amp.

The part that gets me most confused though is that if it's Wi-Fi related, why would the app spontaneously start playing when the song is supposed to be paused? And why skip to the next song instead of starting from the point it was paused?  There is no data exchange, or perhaps more correctly stated, there should be no data exchange required between the phone and anything else.  It just seems like a flaky app.
