I am tired of waiting for an update that will do anything more than nothing. So I thought I would be nice to give a wakeup call to Spotify. Post here if you are dissatisfied with the app in any way including:
My rant:
It is utterly ridiculous that it’s taken a year to do.............. (wait for it.....) NOTHING. I can't even think of one bug fix or feature request that has been fulfilled and I am not nearly the only one asking for these fixes. The community is literally saturated with people complaining, ranting, and providing suggestions and what do you do? Nothing. The iPad has had a rock solid app for almost a complete year and we Android users have had to suffer with the lack up updates to a feature lacking, buggy app.
I am paying money for a service in college where money is already really tight. People who create entire ROM's/Kernels have lives, families, jobs, and do it for free. They are also able to push things out much faster. I have gone from 4.0.4 to 4.2.1 with at least (being very conservative here) 25 updates in between before getting a single one from Spotify. Your Android dev team is either incompetent or plain lazy. Either way is unacceptable for a international business that asks for a monthly fee. Rdio pushes updates pretty much weekly as I have the app on my phone to keep track. If competition steps up their game (Rdio just has to push quality to the top of their list or MOG make their interface better) and I am gone. No question, no hesitation. You will lose my money and a competitor will gain it.
Please all, the more that post the more credible the dissatisfaction is and the more chance Spotify may consider finally listening. Or maybe this thread will be deleted and/or no one will post. Who knows.
Move ahead spotify!
Just dropping a post on here to let you know I am moving your post over to the Android section of the community as this relates directly to the android app.

And now that I managed to sync all my playlists to my sd. I realize that the app still consumes data. 35mbps in just a few days. Unbelievable.
It sounds like you are experiencing this known bug.

Not sure that it makes any difference if it's known or not considering the other old kown bugs ...
Guess I might as well post here too, I definitely need to vent a little. You're right though, there are a ton of problems with this app. It works, but it's far and away from being good...
My biggest complaints:
I love spotify, I really do. I WANT to love you guys. But I feel seriously neglected as a user (especially an Android user), and I'm having a hard time continuing to justify the service. I know you guys are busy but just give us something to show you still care!
I added from what has been posted and what I remembered. Hopefully this is a good place for their devs to pick up on what is missing and not working as its all in one spot. Keep the posts coming guys! Rants, horror stories, bugs, feature requests, etc are all fair game!

Yeah right. 😞 More like “continue to ignore their users and implement features no one needs — if any”.
