I wonder how it is possible that every user has different functionality problems.

The worst thing, is the lack of support they have...

After reporting my BT crashing because of this app. their response was :

Hi There,

Thanks for getting back in touch with us.

Currently we don't officially support Bluetooth and can't always guarantee that it will work. However, I'd suggest to wait for the next update of the Spotify App as this should solve some issues.

If you have any other questions, don't hesitate to get in touch with us.

Best Wishes,

Renze

They are a disaster... I'm now trying another music services to cancel my account, this company sucks, really bad costumer service.

If the issue is present, ignoring it is not the way to answer a costumer... I'm claiming a discount for the month if they cannot provide me a previous APK to install.

Same bluthooth problm here, so disappointed. Going to try another service. Now I got to transfer my playlists. Let's see how hard it is.

Anyone get problems where offline music just stops either at the end of a song or halfway through another?

Really annoying & embarrasing when chose to use my android phone to play music at a party and it just stops mid track,

Off to Ibiza soon and worried I will have similar problems,  

I also get the green circle loading for a while and showing old music on the mini player.

What device do you use and what android version?

[danielwyles1]

It's a Samsung S4 mini, (yeh probably not the most powerful device but still), version 4.4.2

Spotify version 3.3.0.988

[SentineL_VDX]

Yes, you are going to have that problem, plus depending which device you use, your BT will crash because of this app too.
And don't expect support from this company, I've been sending e-mails and their answers are stupid and annoying, instead of acceoting the issues and work on it.
Today I'm cancelling my suscription

You came across this bug too? Its ludicrous; every time I restart my phone I have to redownload all of my music. Considering I have only had the app for a few days, and that ive found that: 

• You cant sync your own music on playlists over Spotify, making the 11k songs I have only laptop irrelevant if I use spotify 
• Spotify doesnt recognize existing music on my SD card, but it used to. The feature was removed for unexplained, at worst arbitrary reason.
• I need an convoluted workaround just to make Spotify save to my SD card. If my music gets wiped, my download settings get removed which means if im not careful I can have to stop downloading and delete everything then start again.
• Spotify sometimes makes duplicates of my phone on my list of authorized devices so I can have all my music forcibly deleted from my phone because i logged in with that same phone. Either that or someone else is logging in constantly on my account and I cant tell because Spotify doesnt tell me what the ip address/any unique info of any of the devices that have logged in, only "Android Phone" or "Win Laptop"

This is not the quality of service I expected signing up, and if they dont shape up before my subscription fee hikes up Im out. All of the other features are gorgeous, but honestly if Im paying for a reliable service and its not reliable then why am I paying?

[danielwyles1]

I swear the problem is getting worse, I'm forever getting the green circle, something as basic as clicking on an artist to listen to more music. I pressed this at the start of a song I liked and still nothing by the time the 3/4 minute song had finished.

And i'm on my work internet which is very quick.

Spotify SORT IT OUT!!!!

Think i'll take my business elsewhere as this is less than acceptable. Anyone recommend a better service?

What?? I love the connect feature and use it extensively.
Maybe a subset of users don't like/use it but it has vastly improved my experience with spotify as I'm sure it has for many others.

Mini player is the Now Playing bar you see at the bottom when you are looking at spotify's other features such as playlists etc and Spotify is playing a song.

I love Connect . Why would you want it disabled?

FWIW, I switched to Google Play Music. This android application is so ridiculous that even some randomly smashed together lines of code would make a more stable product. I had 12GB (!!) Traffic this month in repeatedly having to download offline music. Spotify, you should be ashamed.
