Help - iOS (iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch, iPod classic)

[cherb]

Great that you finally made it! Not a day to late though as iPad have been around since...can't remember! ;-)

But...Why on earth have you not at least kept all the features from the iPhone-version???

(I might have missed this but then it is not intuitive enough.)

• Volume slider (this is the weird one)
• Be able to "drill down" on an artist "Now playing" (from a playlist, full view) and from there explore the albums etc. (#1)
• Airplay menu in overview mode
• Multi gestures (two fingers up or down for volume control)
• To be able to search in a playlist (from jespersthlm)
• Double tap the fullscreen should brings up the artist overview (same feature like the second from above)
• As you have choosed to use the leaf navigation (sliding pages sideways for the hiearchy), dim down the pages in the background so it does not get so messy as everything have the same light grey background color now. 
• NEW: When you do a offline syncing, the symbol appear in the left side lower corner. It would be great by clicking that symbol takes you to the place where the syncing is happening.

More features requested from users below:

• History
• Spotify Apps
• Jump from song directly to Album
• Improved pane navigation
• Radio
• Customizable tabs
• Genres and Top Charts
• Easy access to album and artist panes from Now Playing Menu (e.g. like in the desktop app where you click on the artist name) (#3)
• Being able to "star" a whole album. (#2)
• Swiping through cover arts in the Now Playing panes only starts playing a song when you *let go* of the swype, i.e. to allow you to skip over tracks easily.
• View the queue list

SOLUTIONS:

#1 = Tap the full view screen and in the bottom you have a symbol with a bunch of people. That is the one!

#2 = (from user: soho/Spotify-team) It is actually possible to star a whole album. On the album view, just tap the + button and then select Starred in the "Add to Playlist" popover that appears.

#3 = Tapping the artist name in Now Playing will take you to the playing context. So if you're playing from an album, that's where you'll end up. If you're playing from an artist or a playlist, then you will be taken to the artist view or the playlist view. (i.e. same as on desktop)

COMMENTS:

• (from user: soho/Spotify-team) We've had a lot of discussions about the context menus you get when long-pressing a track, tapping the small cover art in Now Playing Bar, and also seen at the bottom of the Now Playing view. We wanted to keep them clean and not too confusing, but the discussion is still ongoing and nothing is set in stone, so feedback is always welcome.

I agree on all four points and I add: 5. To be able to search in a playlist.

Hi guys,

Just to confirm, our team worked hard on this app, not Facebook. It's taken a while as we've wanted it to be awesome. So, feedback like this is really important to us. We get to see what you guys would like added.

I'll forward it on.

The app is awesome (really!) as I learn how to find stuff (1 of the 5 still) along the way but as you need to find features that is in a certain part (corner) it would be good to have a guide when you install the new iPad-app the first time to go through things. I have seen very simple apps supporting that even.

I have refreshed the list above with changes, more stuff

Sorry to be hard-nosed about Facebook and Apple but a lot of thoughts adds to this.

Keep send updates now and correct stuff frequently!

:D

is there one ?

If not - why not ?

am i missing something ?

[matrixuam]

I am very happy with the upgrade but after been waiting for so long time I really missing radio and apps features and also I dont understand why not a volume control. Maybe there are few basic controls in a music device and one of then is missing... I found a quick solution...clicking menu bottom so you can get acess to default volume controls but once again...why we have lost volume control??

[Joes]

I agree with the volume control and search in playlist... I've also added a few more requests in the review of the iPad app here

http://www.appsafari.com/music/19124/spotify-for-ipad/

In addition to what is already listed here we are asking for the follwoing features:

- Spotify Apps

- Jump from song directly to Album

- Improved pane navigation

- Radio

- Customizable tabs

- Genres and Top Charts

If this is becoming the ipad feature request thread I'll add mine.

1) Easy access to album and artist panes from Now Playing Menu (e.g. like in the desktop app where you click on the artist name)

2) Being able to "star" a whole album.

3) Volume control

4) Volume control

5) Swiping through cover arts in the Now Playing panes only starts playing a song when you *let go* of the swype, i.e. to allow you to skip over tracks easily.

6) Volume control

I should add that for a V1.0 app is it bloomin brilliant!

Spotify for iPad is the missing piece of the puzzle for me in terms of using Spotify as my main music source, so thanks for the long time coming release.

Just to echo some the points made by others, Volume Control is a top priority along with Airplay option.

In my mind these should be available on every screen with the playback controls. 

Gestures for Volume as well would be nice, but certainly a slider option is necessary (essential) in all control windows.

Thanks for the feedback! You make some very good points. I've added some comments below.

* It is actually possible to star a whole album. On the album view, just tap the + button and then select Starred in the "Add to Playlist" popover that appears.

* Tapping the artist name in Now Playing will take you to the playing context. So if you're playing from an album, that's where you'll end up. If you're playing from an artist or a playlist, then you will be taken to the artist view or the playlist view. (i.e. same as on desktop)
