Currently no video is available on the Spotify app on Roku devices and Roku Smart TVs. The video player has been addressed for what seems like all other devices but Roku. I am asking you please don't forget about us Roku owners and provide an update that you are aware of the issue and working on it.

It was such a disappointment to lose playlists on Roku. I would like it restored. Now I got a new Roku and see that Spotify isn't even on it now. Such a disappointment. Please bring it back and improve Roku platform functionality. That's what made me a premium subscriber in the first place. Thanks!

I just got a Roku for Christmas, and I'm loving everything about it, except the Spotify app. As soon as I seen the older Spotify logo, I knew it wasn't up to date, but wow...it's really lacking. 1. Add Radio - If you want your users to discover new songs, this is pretty much the only way to do it from within Spotify, yet you can't. As a result, users are forced to go to a competitor to find new songs, leaving Spotify in the dust. This should have been in from the beginning. 2. Add "Your Music" - People have albums that they might like to listen to instead of in a playlist...and making a playlist for every album is just a hassle. This is about as important to ensure it gets added as Radio. I know I speak for other Roku users out there when I say that those two features alone will help drive users away from being basically forced to use a competitor when on their Roku, which might even drive them to ditch Spotify all together.

The Roku app has lagged behind other Spotify apps for quite some time. This hasn't made much of a difference until "Your Music" was rolled out. I spent quite a bit of time remving my album playlists and saving them in my music instead. Now I can't access those in the Roku app. It would be great to have a my music tab in the Roku app instead of the Playlist tab. Also the search interface could use a lot of work, but I'll save that for another idea.

I would love the option to reverse the order to play Newest to Oldest, that way I can enjoy newer music instead of getting bored with the ones I have heard many times before. Thank you for your time and consideration.

The Spotify app on Roku requires you to have a Premimum account. The newly released Android TV app does not. Bring the two platforms in line and let both have access to Spotify without a Premium account.

The Spotify app on Roku and other streaming platforms is basically useless without radio functionality. It is how people discover new music, and it is how people listen to music without having to put together long playlists that just get stale. I want to use Spotify because Pandora has trash sound quality. But given the choice between trash sound quality and trash functionality, I guess I'm going with Pandora for now.

It would really be cool to be able to use Spotify Connect on my Roku. Spotify is really lacking in the 10 foot experience (the TV/Sound System) due to this issue. The Roku is still the top TV Streaming experience for all streaming devices and could use a little Spotify Love. There are other apps which have this capability, such as the YouTube app. I can control the Roku YouTube app using the YouTube app on my phone (android). I can see what video is playing, where it is in the video and the time left, the next videos, and search and play another video. Please consider this. It will give subscribers another way to maximize on their subscription.

I recently upgrade my 4 roku boxes to the new ones because they are the only kit that let me have NowTV, Amazon prime video, Netflix & Spotify on one box. Now I have to invest in new equipment just so I can access Spotify on my TV. The first app was great, then playlists got removed which was annoying but I could still access all the music. Continued use of the existing app would be great until a new solution is found!

Why hasn't such a basic feature not been added to the Roku Spotify app by now? I did a search and this was requested several years ago and it is still in the "Not Yet" category! I don't use Spotify on the Roku because I have no access to my albums, artists, playlists and personalized daily mixes. It seems like such a simple thing to accomplish. . . Make it a feature for premium subscribers; it will be another good reason to pay the subscription fee. What possible reasons can there be to deny the features of the Spotify app to Roku Spotify users?

rdsnewsetc · ‎2017-05-22

It is bad customer relations and puts a huge ding on the credibility of your organzation to NOT put a big notice upfront for Roku Spotify potential subscribers that Roku Spotify is a limited app with no playlists. The reason I would want Spotify on Roku is for playlists. I can get random streaming from Pandora much easier. I feel gypped and deceived.

I`ve been using spotify for a while now and yesterday got myself a Roku. Of course, i downleded the spotify channel before a party, then launched and it said i had to be a premium member. Ok fine, time to become a premium member !! Unfortunatly, the spotify app on roku is "naked", doesn`t offer half of what is available on my phone. Can you please update it quickly as roku + spotify at home is an awesome idea, but not very fun right now...

SteffiL · ‎2014-11-05

I'm really enjoying Spotify now that it has come to Canada, but I'd REALLY like to see a Spotify App for the Roku. I'm not really sure why it would be so different from apps for the USA or the UK etc. Thanks Steffi

I would like to see Artists show up when you search on the Roku App. I rarely search by song or album.

I've been a Spotify premium customer for a few years now. I like almost everything about spotify but I do have some suggestions to make it better for the people that pay to use this service. The Roku App for Spotify is horrible. It's not user friendly, very buggy, and very limited on functionality. The app needs a complete overhaul. Add radio, make it easier to navigate and fix the bugs. As paying customers we deserve a product that works for us. I've seen many people complain about the Roku App but nothing has been done to fix it. Please listen to us!!!

mikeydangelo · ‎2017-09-05

The biggest idea of all: make a Roku app from this century. The current iteration is shockingly bad. Please.

ynkno13 · ‎2016-12-09

The Roku Spotify client needs a lot of updates, but one that would be extremely convenient would be to include Spotify Connect capabilities with the Roku app.

bowman7887 · ‎2018-04-26

I've read recently that Spotify is taking time to revemp the app used on the Roku, however I don't even see the app anywhere on the streaming channels any longer? From what it seems they don't plan on making a new app for the Roku devices. I was hoping with this "app revamp" news, theywould come with a new app for Roku devices, but it seems they have just taken the app off the Roku entirely as of this point, which is a major concern for me!

The spotify channel is unavailable to Roku users in norway. Please fix this ASAP. This should be an easy fix since the channel is allready there and only needs to be made available to norwegian roku users.

I would like to see an improvement with your searching page on Roku. I would like a more predictive generated list. I am a member of one of you competitors (while on a month trial with you) and find your search to be weak compared to the MOG search. Example: Currently if I were looking for the group Songs Ohia I would get predictive results (none of which were the group Songs Ohia) up until the letter OH (in Ohia) and then it would go blank and tell me there are no results until I type the last two letters (IA) and then the group Songs Ohia would magically appear. Now MOG will predict the artiest within 5 letters or less (even the little known groups). Now, I used a very short artiest name for my example but if I were to use a longer more indie group name it would be even more annoying to find them. While I decide to switch or not this will be one that I will remember. I don't want to have to type every letter of the group if I don't have to. I know this may sound petty but I assure you that the ease at which MOG allows for search is far superior...and not just on the Roku but on all my devices. Now that is not to say that MOG is a far superior service but in this case it is.
