Audiobook Listening Hours: Accessible Viewing

Hi Spotify Team!

 

Right now, to track the audiobook listening hours there are so many clicks you need to do to simply find out how many hours you've listened to this month. In my first month of audiobook listening with Spotify, I was shocked to find out there was a time limit and subsequently found it very difficult to find the audiobook listening hours. Currently, the steps are:

  1. Press your profile
  2. Press "settings and privacy"
  3. Press account
  4. Press your subscription plan
  5. Scroll to your plan details
  6. Press your plan details where you can see the hours listened

 

If you're driving and listening, it's quite dangerous to go through all these steps to find out how to prioritize your next chapter while you are driving. I think it would be clearer if the audiobook hours for the month had a horizontal bar available in the audiobook player. It can have a simple gray bar that gets filled in with green for every hour listened. The green bar can have text on top of it that says "14 hours listened" and "1 hour left" on top of the gray part of the bar. Exactly the way it is visually shown now, but accessible through the "now playing" audio player. That way, listeners can actively use their time wisely to listen to their next chapter with a quick glance and the push of a single button (aka "now playing") to see this. 

 

Thank you!

On the iOS app, it takes 5 clicks to see how many hours of audiobook listening time you have left. Why is this not shown on the audiobook landing page or listening page?  As a user that typically listens through all/most of my premium audiobook hours in a month, having to click through 5 pages on the app to check the total left is a lot of friction.
