Giving less recommendations in the app was a bad change to make....

The mobile app used to have a ton of recommendations... each section had multiple albums you could scroll through, and you could look through the selections given for ages and find something new every day. Now, it's ONE recommendation per row and just as many rows as it was before- so, I'm seeing less than half of what i was getting before. It's still the same on the desktop app, and that way is so much better... I like to discover new things on my own accord, not look at the 5 albums and podcasts spotify thinks i'll like (when it's the same things they've recommended forever that i still don't want to listen to)

Maybe they thought the app was overwhelming, when it was anything but. I even still wanted more reccomendations before but this new change is just an insult to injury.

So now to actually discover new albums I'm gonna have to find some new resource because ive lost my patience with spotify. It's incredibly annoying. I can't understand why they thought less choices was a good idea. I strongly believe they need to bring the old system back, or at LEAST make it an optional feature to see less... As someone who likes to listen to everything I possibly can, this is more stressful than being overwhelmed by choices....

Hi @akirat420,

Thank you for posting on the Community!

We've moved your post to this help board as it fits better its content.

Spotify is constantly updating its recommendations based on your listening habits and this is a feature that hasn't been changed, as we always strive to give the best suggestions tailored for each user.

In order to better understand what's missing from your app, could you send us a video or some screenshots showing those sections that haven't been updated for you? This way we can take a better look at the issue.

We'll be on the lookout.

This is what my app looks like now- before all these singular
reccomendations was a row of several i could scroll through. Would love for
this to get fixed.
