[slim] Squeezebox App (1.1.4) on Android Devices no longer working?

Is it just me or did the app break after some update to 1.1.4 (which Android tends to happily execute on its own)? Both my Nexus 9 and Samsung S6 Edge act the same ways as one starts the app - it hangs in the "Free Your Music" screen. And yes, I have cleared data and cache in the app manager.

if you think it's the SBT, i personally would have no qualms about a factory reset on the spot. i have done that with several devices over the years. i also like to go for a clean reinstall of LMS (it's why i keep a virginal copy of the original virtual machine) whenever some weird issue appears.
