Can we talk about CarPlay?

Any other Apple users here frustrated with CarPlay in the Spark?

While navigation, texting, calling, making reminders and all the usual Siri functions have been fine - I've been having a ton of issues with third party apps - Spotify, Pandora, iHeartRadio, Stitcher, for example.

Spotify, for example, likes to reload the "home" page while I'm in the middle of clicking through submenus to find music.

Every other third party app seems to like to choose when to work. Sometimes the loading time takes forever. Sometimes all I get is a blank screen, until I reload the app a second or third time, then it works like a charm.

I know that there are growing pains to be expected with a new system - I just would love to get to the bottom of these issues. I'm curious if it's my iPhone (6 plus), my carrier (T-Mobile - usually with LTE), or if the issue is related to the Spark or CarPlay.

Anyone have any tips or tricks?

Idk, I have a 2013 with no CarPlay.

My daughter has the iPhone 6 and so far she has not had any issues with hers but she's only had the spark for about a week.
