Mention somewhere to allow unrestricted background activity for the app

Steps to reproduce

1. Don't allow background activity (or leave it on standard)
2. Download a book with many mp3 files (tried multiple books)
3. Let the screen go off (time out) while downloading
4. See strange results

Expected behaviour

• The download continues after launching the app again (after turning on the screen again)
• or a note in the documentation to allow unrestricted background activity for the app

Actual behaviour

• One of:
• Apps download counter disappears or freezes while the android download continues -> book is never finished
• Apps download counter is freezed and no android downloads anymore (sometimes it recovers sometimes not)
• Two files are in process by the android downloader but are freezed and never continue

Just curious if you disable background activity for the app are you still able to listen to an audiobook with the screen off?

ok, there is no real "off" - my Android offers me:

• "Unrestricted"
• "Optimized" (The standard for every app)
• "Restricted"

I was listening to three books without any problem with "Optimized" (just didn't change anything). But out of curiosity I just checked "Restricted" -> playback seems to work (or the playback keeps the app alive). But as I want to download books I'll switch back to "Unrestricted".
