Based on reports, it seems that the SiriusXM app for Android stopped working properly a couple of days ago.

Some users claim that the app keeps buffering while others say that the application does not work at all and keeps shutting down by itself.

A few disgruntled Android users have even made their way over the Google Play Store to leave negative reviews on the SiriusXM app.

Naturally, having to pay for a service and then be unable to use it for a couple of days would grind anyone’s gears.

Thankfully, the truckloads of complaints haven’t gone unnoticed by the SiriusXM team since they’ve been responding to several user complaints stating that they’re aware of the issue and are working on a fix.
