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...  ...

Bring back the Widget! ... 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

What's it called... Right... A widget! Which you got rid of and only the brilliant minds, who came up with this moronic idea, know why.  Bring it back, there is clearly demand for it! ... 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. Are you that out of touch with your user base that you thought removing the android widget seemed like a good idea?   Please remove the person who signed off on this idea from your company as they have no ideas what your customers want. ...

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? ...

Hi, This is probably posted already but I don't feel like searching it, the same as Spotify doesn't feel like listening to people and actually putting the effort in making them unhappy.   Bring the widget back, there is nothing that is filling the functionality that it provided and we got no reason for why it's being removed. As a matter of fact removing actually took effort so we could say that Spotify is investing time in going against their client's feedback.   I hope this is not as bothersome as the unwanted reggaeton recommendations that I get every day.   Thanks and have a good day. And yes, I am very salty right now, for now, I am downgrading the app and never updating it again. ... View more

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.  ...

how about bring back the widget noobs. why would you get rid of a feature that almost everyone uses? either make it better, or don't mess with it.  ... View more

This needs to be returned immediately!! ... View more

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

I know, right, it's such a novel, out of the box idea to actually listen to the people who use your products, and who actually pay your wages. Who would have thought that the way to keep people using your service was to give us features they want, and not randomly remove them. ... View more

Spotify needs a widget for my home screen on Android. Weird bug where you clearly accidentally closed one of the other suggestions listing this. Must have been a mistake since there doesn't seem to be a rational explanation for removing what I consider a core feature. Might want to look into that. Maybe make sure it doesn't happen again? ...

I am trying to hide unwanted, repetitive songs. There are playlists that I listen to every day littered with terrible songs, and the only option is to open up my phone and skip it. This is a problem when I'm in the gym and my hands are occupied with weights. I listen to pretty heavy rock and metal, and some creepy satanic song will come on, and that's not cool. I just want to know how to hide crappy songs. ... View more

I and many other Spotify users are annoyed by the widget removal. I use it every day, multiple times a day. This morning I used the widget and by this evening it was gone. It's enough of an inconvenience that I'd stop paying for premium and use a competitor app that does have a widget, like Pandora. Spotify's twitter handle is @Spotifycares. Well, if Spotify does care about its users, then they'll bring the widget back. ... View more

So for example, if two songs flow so well together that they could really be one song, allow us to ensure that they will always be queued together, so we can always hear the transition and prevent jilted endings, even on shuffle. This should be possible in playlists and albums. ... View more
