Android Auto Freezing

Hi- Does anyone know how to stop Deezer from freezing every time an ad is played (the free version)? I’m using my phone and connecting via USB. Also, it doesn’t just freeze, sometimes it will skip slowly through the ad playing microseconds at a time over and over again. I have to physically remove my phone and then force stop it to get anything else to play. I’ve tried uninstalling and reinstalling. I’ve stepped away from it for a month and then come back and it played a few songs and then started glitching again. I’ve made sure everything is updated. I’m at my wits end.
