Downloading works the same way in all audio sections of AC Central, including Around the Table. Make sure you are not in the catchall All Around the Table area. You must select Podcast.

Downloading is already available on all platforms. For iOS, just touch the cloud icon with the download arrow. NOTE: you must be in a specific category group to see the download option. For example, you won't see it in Sermons>All Congregations, but you will see it in Sermons>Morton

If you are using Android, the small player in the notification center can be swiped away to remove it. Shutting down the whole app is done the same way as force quitting any other app: swipe it away in the app switcher view of either iOS or Android. This will also clear it out of the notification center. 

A paused live stream should not continue to stream data beyond an initial buffer amount.

You will receive your prayer request notifications at the time you have chosen in AC Central's Settings menu > Notifications Setting. The default setting is the time of day which you originally installed the app. Just change it to whatever you prefer.

Thanks for your feedback. On further testing, this is what we discovered:

1. Pause sermon. Use a different app, come back to AC Central to resume playing sermon and it continues where it left off.
2. Pause sermon. Force quit AC Central. Relaunch AC Central to resume playing sermon and it continues where it left off.
3. Pause sermon. Restart phone. Relaunch AC Central to resume playing sermon. Play/Unplayed indicator shows sermon as completely played. Playback starts at the beginning.
