Help - Android

Heh, the WP7 app is actually REALLY **bleep** good. one of the best apps I have used on the phone.  Still no pandora, but it does support HTML5.

I am SOOOOO tempted to also close my premium subscription.  Don't get me wrong, I enjoy Spotify and the service but the mobile app is simply HORRIBLE.  The online catalog music plays just fine but the problem is with the "offline" music.  I don't make any of my online catalog offline, because I have internet access 24/7.  However, all the music I upload that is not on the online catalog is offline music which crashes the app.  I read in this post from someone from Spotify that to troubleshoot to remove the app and all the contents.  Yes I have already figured that out by myself and you know I have to do that at least once or twice a month and then turn around and over 1,000 of offline songs back on my tablet.  It's a pain and ridiculous.  I don't believe premium members should have to deal with this when all it takes is your developers to put out an update and FIX IT.  This is simple bad business.  Bottom line I am not getting a service I paid for.  You are advertising one thing, and then your product is not delivering on it.  Fix the android client ASAP.

They're playing games at the office - http://community.spotify.com/t5/General-Music-Chat/GAME-The-Six-Degrees-of-Skrillex/td-p/32909

Hell, are you bored?! Go to http://developer.android.com/ and learn writing android apps instead - I'm 16 and able to do so.

By the way, the only reason I haven't cancelled my subscription yet is the (at least at the moment) pretty good working linux client.

Still... "here's a game we've been playing in the office lately"... dudes, wtf. o_O

So ... Spotify have announced a press conference for April 18th. It seems unlikely that it will be for a new Android app - such a release wouldn't necessitate a whole shindig and would admit too publicly that the current app is crap, but we can at least hope that something might be said as an adendum to whatever the big news is ... please!?!?!

While I don't have anything new to report, I'm chompin' at the bits waiting for the moment we can announce the Android update.

We've got a couple of other spaces, including this one, we'll post on when the update comes, in the meantime, add a Kudos to the following idea if you haven't already.

@licence I think the announcement on the 18th will be about this: http://www.theverge.com/2012/4/13/2946424/spotify-branded-apps-coming-soon

But who knows, maybe they will announce other things as well, so let's keep our fingers crossed.

@rorey good to see you commenting here, hope a new app will come very soon, but in the meantime, even a small update fixing the most important bugs in the old app would already be something, just as long as we can at least use the old app while we wait for a new one...

Why do we have to add kudos to this idea? do you only implement a new client if it has enough kudos? You told us you're working on a new app but we have to add kudos that you do so?

Why is this idea ony on status "Under Consideration" while the iPda idea has the status "Planned"? Are you working on an update or not?

[Rankhar]

@mseele Yeah, agree that that is weird, as if kudos are needed for an update for the Android app... That struck me as odd as well, considering that the moderators have been telling us that a new Android app is underway. If that app does not support ICS, well, then I would be very dissapointed and completely flabbergasted...

On my iPhone I was just informed that a Minor Update to the Spotify App was Available.

Nice! Still, I am unable to use it on my transformer Prime (ICS) though... :(

@Rorey: Why don't you answer my questions?

This morning i lost all my offline titles (> 1500; needs two days for syncing with my slow internet connection) cause spotify tells me i use more than 3 devices. This is completely wrong!

We're paying for that...i think i will switch to another streaming service, It is an outrage, as spotify handle with its users!!!
