The new update is awful. The artists tab should include saved artists, not just those we follow. The albums tab should show albums that just have a few songs saved again. And the recently played should be more prominent. Give us the option to view the whole album art on screen and only that. Stop removing features!   The more complicated options we have as users to organize and view our library, the better. I signed up for spotify because it felt designed for people who are serious about listening to and organizing music. The most recent update, along with smaller changes over the last year, are ruining the experience.   PLEASE undo the changes to this last update, particularly how artists and albums are grouped. I have never considered Apple Music previously but I am looking into it after this. There are so many benefits to Spotify but it feels like they are slowly being lost to dumb “silicon valley” type trends in app design.    Feels like Spotify is waging a war on the idea of keeping a music library at all. Please stop. ... View more

Add real shuffle. Not the fake shuffle you currently use.   Shuffle should not always play the same songs, in the same order, from a playlist 300+ songs. Only way to currently get real shuffle is to use external software which literally completly modifies the entire spotify software.. bit overkill. ... View more

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. ...

I'm really surprised about the removal of the "recently played" feature. This was a huge part of how I use the mobile app, and a standout feature for Spotify. The update to the Your Library page has a number of problems, but the loss of the "recently played" list is close to a deal breaker. I'd love to move my entire family plan to an app that has a useful UI. ... View more

We all know that the general consensus is that the new update is a disaster. One of the ways it's a disaster is the new management of albums and artists.   Albums will only show up in an all-or-nothing manner in your library: either you like the album and have all the tracks, or you only like one or some of the tracks, in which case Spotify hides it from you. This is especially bad for deluxe versions of albums, where a user might reasonably only want the studio mixes of the main tracks, and maybe some bonus tracks, but not a bunch of live versions, demos, rough cuts, etc.   Solution: show us partial albums, or at least make that a setting toggle in the options.   As for bands and artists, same thing. Our libraries were practically reset so we could "follow" bands and artists, even if they're literally dead.   Solution: show us any bands and artists we have in our library, or at least be able to toggle that in settings. We can still follow artists as an extra feature to get updates, or move them to the top of the list as kind of an extra "like."   As a bonus, this fixes the awful problem with searching through the "Liked Songs" playlist. Just a few examples:   1. If you just want to listen to some tracks from a band's self-titled album, you have to create a playlist because the filter doesn't work. This is especially bad since self-titled albums are often debut or pivotal albums, and likely to get a deluxe edition.   2. The search feature fails when one band, artist, or album is a partial name of another. What if you have albums by, say, Beck and Jeff Beck, and just want to listen to Beck? Answer: create a playlist, of course, and that sucks.   3. Foreign language artists. This one doesn't affect me personally, but if someone likes a foreign artist, then typing in a name to filter the Liked Songs playlist is absurdly difficult. You may need to install a new keyboard on your device just to manage it.   (These are things your design team should have addressed months ago, by the way, in A/B testing.) ... View more

I dont use playlists, I like having my music all in one place just because I "liked it" made it easy to mass download as I can't use my data on music. But now thats all it is music that I liked. My artists tab only shows music from the very few playlists I do have. This was an awful thing to do. Not everyone makes playlists, its too much work. You ruined it. CHANGE IT BACK!!!!!!!! ...

Ha. "New and Improved" my left foot!!!! How is getting rid of an alphabetized list of my saved artists any bit of an improvement??? I don't need to see "Recommended Artists" when I am on the "Artists" tab. I have already saved their music to my library. No need to recommend them to me. Show me a list of my saved artists in ALPHABETICAL order. Not some randomized order that you create at will. Wow, you provide us with a "Search" feature... What if I want to find an artist and I can't remember their name? Guess I have to scavenge through that randomized list and find what I'm looking for. What a GREAT "Improvement"!!!! And when I "Start Song Radio", the song radios do not appear in the "Recently Played" section. Again, how is that any bit of an improvement???? How LAUGHABLE and absolutely RIDICULOUS. Not only did you make unnecessary changes, the "New and Improved" update brought LAGGINESS to my app that I've never experienced in my 4+ years as a Premium member using the Spotify for Android app. From my observations, it seems as if 90%+ of these users are nothing but unhappy about this new app interface. And with good reason. Better fix this nonsensical update ASAP!!!! ... View more

The first update removing the Queue icon from the upper right hand corner of the Now Playing screen, showing the number of songs in your queue was a bad move in my opinion. You replaced it’s place with the Song Options link, which did not need to be moved at all. Now this new update that changed the Library section to only show playlists, artists, and albums, with big icon lists that you have to scroll down a bunch with, with the Recently Played section removed.. everything is so much less functional and less options are on one screen than before. People want less navigation and more functionality. It’s looking like a cheap web-player layout with big icons and lists that work well for those that can’t see well without glasses, but make it harder for everybody else. Change it back, please. I don’t know what you guys are trying to go for, but it’s not as good. ... View more

I favorite a lot of songs on radio/stations and usually don't immediately remember the name of the band or song. But, I almost ALWAYS remember the album cover. So when I want to return back to that song I saved and check out the album/artist, I know I can go to my Saved Albums and sort by recently added to find what I need.   The recent update really hinders this, as throwing them all in a playlist will almost make favoriting songs a hassle, as you would have to scroll through text and text to find what you are looking for. Not to mention, you moved them to a category called "Recommended Albums", but you have to scroll through your entire library of albums to see it! I don't think many people will even realize it's there.    Please move "Liked Songs/Recommended Albums"  back to Saved Albums.   thanks, rccx     ... View more

Terrible New Update Rendering Spotify Way Less Accessible And Therefore Less Enjoyable To Use.   The newest update is just terrible. PLEASE bring back the alpabetical scroll bar, the ability to look at all of my artists of all of my saved songs, the possibility to save songs from albums individually without having to put them into a playlist. PLEASE bring back being able to look at recently played songs in the tab "library" and not in the tab "start" where I have to be connected to WiFi to look at them. PLEASE put everything back to the way it was before the last two big updates of Spotify! The newest update literally just made Spotify less accessible. Why is Create A Playlist above all of my saved songs and playlists? That is not the first thing people want to see, we go on Spotify to listen to our music and we want to be able to access it easily, being able to see all of our recently played songs AND not having to be connected to WiFi to do so. Also, personally: PLEASE bring back the possibility to save songs individually without having to put them into a playlist. The last two updates just made downloading and saving songs needlessly complicated and the experience of Spotify overall not enjoyable. Last but not least: bring back the category of "new released" so that one doesn't have to search for new releases but can access them easily.   I'm already looking out for other streaming devices (namely Apple Music) if Spotify stays being this inconveniently to use or the impending updates prive to be even more restricting in accessing and listening to my saved and downloaded music. ...

I, it’s been almost 3 years that I use Spotify everyday and i’ve always enjoyed myself with the app. But since this new update I really struggle with the app, I really don’t like this new interface. So I was wondering if there was a way to switch to the old interface? If not i’m really thinking about switching to Apple Music. I don’t want to switch since all my music from the past 3 years is on there but I feel like Spotify doesn’t really give me the choice...   ... View more

Ok so here's the deal. It's June 19th, 2019 (just for reference) and a new update has rolled onto the android mobile app. With the "liked songs," playlist any albums I've saved previously via the "save" button underneath the album art, aren't showing up properly in the playlist. The tracklist is completely re-arranged in comparison to that of the official album tracklist order. Albums I've saved Forever ago are no longer in proper order and there's not a hope in **bleep** I'm going back and re-saving ALL my albums because there's A Lot of them! This is a problem when the "liked songs" playlist is sorted via "recently added". Why it is suddenly formatted like this is beyond me and nonsensical, and it needs to be changed back immediately!

As everyone has been saying, this new update is awful. I'm looking for the ability to listen to my saved songs from an album, and only those saved songs. For example: When I want to listen to Kendrick Lamar's "To **bleep** A Butterfly,"  I should go to Albums, scroll down to TPAB, and play it without having to skip songs I didn't save. Currenty, I have to change my Playback to Offline and then play TPAB. That is a pain, because when you're offline you obviusly can't search for new music. This update is trying to make users create and use more playlists. Like I mentioned before, now you can't just listen the songs you saved, because they're all saved but some are Liked. This feature should be removed entirely. If I like a song, I'll save it. If I save it, it downloads onto my phone. If I wanna hear the saved songs from a specific album, I go to that album in my library. When I go to that album in my library, I should see the songs I saved. If I wanna see the rest of the songs from that album, I'll click on "View Full Album."  (TL;DR)  Remove Liked vs. Saved Go back to all saved songs being in the library under "Saved Songs" Make it so that only saved songs from an album are found in the Album Library Make it so that saving a song means you liked it, and saving a song downloads it   ...

In the last big mobile update, Spotify removed the ability to access saved songs from an album by clicking on that album in Your Library. In the most recent update, Spotify entirely removed the ability to save an album in Your Music without saving the entire album.   I, like most of my friends who use Spotify, tend to navigate my saved music through the album view. Albums are easy to identify and help organize my saved music. Scrolling through albums of saved songs is much quicker and easier than scrolling through thousands of songs in the Liked Songs playlist. Not to mention that it's near impossible to find a song whose name and artist you've forgotten without seeing the album art.   Please bring back the ability to save and recall some songs in album view; it helps users find music more easily, and increases the diversity of albums and songs they listen to. ...

In the new version, there is no organisation in the library. I need to follow every artists, but it's not what I want. I want a personal library and personal organisation of my songs. First. It's not because I want to download a song that I actually want to like the song.  Second. If I only want some songs of an artist, it doesn't mean I want to follow the artist. Following an artist brings me to his artist page instead of the song I dowbloaded. Third. I don't have data. So my only way to select the music is with "liked songs". So no more liberty choosing my music in my own library.   Please, put back the old version I felt more free than with this new update. I had Youtube Music and I changed for Spotify because the library was exacly like your new update. And now, you (Spotify) are copying your opponent.   Please put back your old library.   ...

In the most recent update Spotify gave me (8.5.9.737) there was one issue that I simply can't get over. In every music player I've ever had, I have been able to view artists by artists. Not EVERY INDIVIDUAL SONG *EACH* artist has. So now to scroll through my library, it gives me no other option than to sort them by song. This will take way too long to decide what artist to listen to and I have absolutely no use for something so overly complicated. I will be cancelling my subscription as this is such a frustrating concept that won't be resolved until another update, if it is resolved at all. ... View more
