Hello! My app repeated a sound when you press a button. But if the screen goes in stand by (switched off) the repeated sound stops. Any idea how can i solve this problem?

Same issue. Very disappointed with Thunkable Pro. I really can’t justify the $200/yr($20/mth) price at the moment for the pro version as both Sound or WebViewer don’t work when the screen turns off, making any type of audio streaming app useless, it’s also very limited compared to the android only version like MIT AppInventor.
I hope things improve soon.
