My Question or Issue

Changing song via headset repeats the same song. It's impossible to change song. Things were working fine until a recent update.

This app is progressively getting worse. Considering most of us pay. Maybe sort it out? Stop making rubbish changes which break things.

Shuffle generally repeats songs.

Albums rarely load

General app becomes slower with each update.

Couple months ago everything was perfect.

My issue actually is with my Bluetooth car display and that used to skip tracks fine but now it's not working properly. the pause button no longer pauses and I have to manually change it from my phone being and quite annoying because I'm an Uber driver and need music for my job.

Aha, having similar issues with my Sony 1000mx3. Only bought them a couple of weeks ago and tried out all the gesture stuff before holidays fine.

Now I can change volume, skip songs forward, but can't skip songs back and can't skip through current track in either direction.

Works fine with Amazon music

How odd, now its working fine for me even though the app hasn't been updated.

I tried reboots and testers/repair yesterday with no luck.

So it's unclear where my particular issue comes from.

Recent update fixed the issue.

Would be nice if Spotify actually acknowledged stuff.

Hey all,

Thanks for taking the time to write us about this! Sorry for the belated reply.

We're glad to hear everything is working now! Please know, for the future, that in case something like that happens, the first thing to do must be a clean reinstall of the app. This fixes a number of issues and help the app sync better.

Let us know if you need more help!

spotify is slowly becoming the worst music app i would rather listen music on youtube with ads than suffer with them forcing us to buy premium buy removing all the functionality out of the app.

You can't even change sons now, what the heck is this.

Dissapointed with spotify.

they dont even think of the people who can't afford**bleep**.

and even after buying the premium the songs just are for spotify app you can't even transfer them to other devices
