Spotify Now changed/not working?

_vm — Fri, 18 Dec 2015 07:27:46 GMT

Spotify Now no longer lets me choose "time theme" e.g. Morning Commute. Instead I get a static page of playlists.

Is this how Now is intended to work?

NB. Premium user in UK.

Spotify is always tweaking their service and testing new things to ensure the best possible experience for their users.

It could just be they are testing out a new layout for it.

Maybe but, more than a layout change - it no longer offers the same functionality they advertise https://www.spotify.com/uk/now/

Which seems odd.

I sent a tweet to SpotifyCares on the same issue. I recieved a saying "we're always testing things by adding/removing features....". The new view just seems a jumble, the old view was much better.

Ah ok. Yeah seems a retrograde step - they can't populate that view based on the "time of day" since that's different for everyone. When they show "morning coffee" I'm already into my workday.

The way they changed it seems amateurish.

Thanks for the confirm.
