Here's a weird idea, it's august 2019 and Android has been around for 12 years. Apps and come and gone, some apps have this thing called a widget, something you can place on your homescreen and control the app from. It works really well and you as a company, who state over and over again how you value your users and that you want to be in the forefront of user experience, should really look into developing one...  ...

Or at least make it an option. I personally know a bunch of people who have been annoyed ever since it was introduced years ago. Google Play Music and other music players have already added the option in their app to disable it, why can't a billion dollar corporation do the same? ... View more

I've been using Spotify for many years and to open my phone up and see that the widget that I've been using is just all the sudden missing is extremely disappointing. I use this all day long and don't have the option of just opening up the notifications setting as I keep my phone locked for security purposes. This new update has also disabled the music from just starting to play when I get into my car. Spending an extra 15 minutes when getting in the car to go to work thinking my brand new phone isn't working is not my idea of a good update. Please reconsider as all other music options have this feature and it would be enough to change to another service IMO.  ... View more

Hi guys,   I've been using the Android app for a bit. To be honest, the UI feels a bit dated and doesn't really fit the Holo design guidelines which you can find here. One example of a really nice redesign is attached to this post.   Thanks for considering this.   EDIT: Now that Lollipop has been released along with the Material Design Guidelines, I think it would be a good idea to update the UI to fit these guidelines. A nice redesign is now attached to this post. ... View more

It's almost like the recent UI changes to the android app weren't bad enough you had to find another way to reduce functionality further.

So when are you going to roll back to the previous version of the mobile app? Honestly, this has to be one of the single most unpopular updates I've ever seen birthed into this world. Did nobody who designed this stop for even a second and think that, amongst other things, removing the recently played section from library was, in fact, NOT a good idea? Nobody reckoned that would be a bad move?   Honestly, I've been using premium for 4, probably nearly 5 years now. But if there's no reverting to the previous version, or at the very bare minimum, a reinstatement of the recently played, I'm gone. Done. C'est fini! And no, the 4 or 5 albums on the home page "recently played" section do not count in the slightest. Especially considering one of them is the naff video explaining this terrible update. ...

Here's an innovative idea; a lot of apps on Android phones like tocnale use of this thing called a widget. What it does is increase accessibility and functionality without having to wade through menus.   It really does make an app much more effective if.it can be controlled through the home screen instead of having to open the app every time you want to use it.   Radical idea, but might be worth a thought.  ...

Spotify's decision to remove the widget is surprisingly lacking in customer care considerations,  and particularly premium and family premium subscriber needs.  I expect to be asked, notified and to ensure  my customer needs are considered before someone changes my fundamental experience.  No explanation was provided. I thought I had done something wrong but to find on a Google search what spotify had done without any notice to their subscribers.  This is not good customer care and destroys any trust established with your subscribers,  and particularly your premium subscribers.  Having regularly paid for years,  the is a contract expectation for the services I signed up for are maintained and improved,  not removed! #widget   Bring back the widget for subscribers who choose to use it please? ...

The removal of the Android Widget is a substantial step back for the Spotify experience on Android devices. The lock screen and drop-down time out while paused, and the lock screen interface has a history of not appearing despite Spotify being active. Additionally, when using the cross-device control, neither of the "replacement" interfaces reliably function as desired. Take the hit on this one, acknowledge that not all angles were considered, and re-introduce the Android Widget. Sure, you can come out the other side just fine without it, but it significantly mars your consumer-focused reputation. Don't harm the Android experience because Apple has a back-*ssward deathgrip on its platform. ... View more
