We've received reports that the Home Screen on the app where tabs like "Jump back in" "More Like", "Popular new release", "Recommended for you", etc which can be scrolled sideways (horizontal) are now displayed vertically on Android devices. This is being investigated.
Cheers!

Just hopped on Spotify not two hours ago and noticed that the UI is drastically different in an extremely negative way. I don't pay this amount of money every month to not be able to easily access what I want to listen to and what I have listened to. The giant boxes with random playlists is wholly unnecessary. I want suggested music, recently played, and my podcasts back in a linear and horizontally ordered manner. This one way scroll is absolutely atrocious and I'm going to be considering taking my money elsewhere. I assume the developers at Spotify just don't care about the consumer at this point. Utterly awful.
The issue just started this week for me. I have tried logging out and reinstalling, no changes. If this actually is some new feature test, for what it's worth I think it is a terrible change. I went from using the Home page all the time to not at all.
Lol.. Luckily this spotify account of mine was a cheap one month prepaid premium account ..i just created a new account and got another one month cheap prepaid plan again..now I see, there was a pop up about adding new features and be the first one to experience..so if it's a test , you guys should have let us known , few of the guys have been scrolling here since one week..and also too add - there was an update for Andriod web viewer from play store which took down my chrome as well.. At one instant I thought that the error in spotify had to do something with that..
My home page showing recently played, based on your recent activity HORIZONTALLY, is now showing VERTICALLY. PLEASE HELP. I already uninstalled the app, even checked for updates. Nothing.
I did the clean reinstalling many times.. But it didn't work.. But logging on from a different account to my installed software works, but when I log on to my main account in the installed software it's all vertical again.. I doubt it has something to do with the premium account..one more thing I have noticed that the profile pic of my account in this thread is not what I have uploaded.. Are any of you guys facing the same situation with the profile pic here?
I just did a clean reinstall on all of my devices, doing the steps listed for android about clearing all data first as well, and redownloaded it on everything, I signed into my phone first and it was back to normal, hopes this helps anyone
It's not working.. Updated the latest version.. The problem seems to be on the Andriod app self premium account.. I tried logging in from different Andriod sets.. But it all same.. Nothing works..its not a fault from the device.. The home page looks silly.. With no proper recommends or podcasts.. If this keeps on going I will not go for a premium account again..
Eyyyy! A second clean reinstall with both my phone and pc did help! I guess one has to log into the account firat on the device, and then on the PC. It feels so great to have a properly working mainscreen again!
The clean reinstall also didn't work. Removed the app both from android and PC. Rebooting device did not help either. I'm glad that I'm at least not the only one with this problem... Might it be an a/b testing? Hopefully this will never be implemented, looks like something you'd design for a smartwatch...
