On the right track here, although a very long road ahead. The most important things left to fix and add are:

Add albums to existing playlists and

App tailored for tablets, especially since more and more people are starting to use Android tablets, this fact that Spotify doesn't have a tablet version of their app on Android (and does on iPad!) is very very off-putting!

How many times can I give this dude ^^^^^ thumbs up. We Android users feel like the redheaded step children and it's really starting to piss me off.

But yeah, Landscape mode ... yeah ... freakin' finally! It's ridiculous we had to wait this long.

I have been giving serious consideration to ditching Spotify, I'm not willing to wait much longer for you people to start treating your Android subscribers better.

So why does my app display the current version (0.6.0.20) in the settings, yet it does not do landscape mode? Whats going on?

Keep the feedback coming! More importantly, if you haven't already, add your voice to suggestions made in Spotify Ideas. (Or submit a new idea, if no one has already)

I had the same question, until I realized: 0.6.0.2 <> 0.6.2.

It's a bit confusing as the version names are very similar but more so because the Spotify app page in the store lists 'landscape mode' as a new addition, even if when updating you only get the 0.6.0.20 version.

In my store (Poland) it doesn't mention landscape but I really don't like the way the sidebar info has been changed to show:

UPDATED:May 28, 2013

CURRENT VERSION:Varies with device

REQUIRES ANDROID:Varies with device

Why cant this update made available to everyone straight away? Or at the very least put it up on your website for those who do not wish to wait! And at the very least state that the update is a staggered roll out on the what's new on the play store!

[systemind]

😞 I want my update to arrive

Landscape mode is nice and all, but now playlists won't download anymore. FU Spotify. I'm out, you won't see another cent from me. Go die in a ditch.
