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:
- Bugs
- Play button stops working
- Crashes
- Buffering problems
- I just got kicked out of the app and sent into the sign in page (downloaded content was still there)
- Nexus 4 won't stream over wifi when the screen is off
- Any other. I will try to keep track and post more as I see them
- Lack of features
- SD Storage
- Better Search
- Better Discovery (This covers the desktop app as well)
- Tablet Version/Proper Landscape support
- Local File Playback
- Playlist Sort
- Playlist Shuffle Play (like on the iOS app)
- OS Integration (Notification bar controls, etc)
- Any other. I will try to keep track and post more as I see them.
- Anything I am missing. Again I will continue to add stuff as I see them.
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.
