Free and Premium UI

Free and Premium UI

Spoiler
 

My issue is with the UI for premium users and free users. Free users have been given a new updated and premium looking ui with the 25th of October 2018 update. It looks much sleeker and fresh. I find it unusual that users that are paying for better features are being given a better user experience, whereas premium users aren't (this is in android). I I'm no way are saying that free users shouldn't get the better ui, I just think it should be for everyone. Attached below is the comparison from a tester account I was given, and my premium normal account. The first picture shows the new ui when viewing a song in a normal playlist. The second is the old ui and the last picture is the new ui

Hey,

welcome to the Spotify Community! I'm happy to assist you!

It's more like the "new design" is a simplified version because free users get less functionality. But you can post it as an idea to make sure staff will notice if you want a fresher design for pro with more functionality too.

 

Have a nice day and feel free to contact me again for further questions 🙂

I've seen mixed feelings about the new UI. I personally think it's a great addition to a soon outdated ui. What is your opinion on the UI and do you know if this is something they're going to roll out?
