Monthly Ideas Review


Every month the Community Team reviews our Ideas Board. In this blog we'll present some of the ones we’ve updated in the past month!

 

We're a tad late this month, but let's take a look at what's changed recently..

 

IMPLEMENTED:

1.  Return repeat and queue buttons to Now Playing View

The Repeat and Queue buttons have returned to the Now Playing View on the mobile app. The repeat button has moved to the left and you Queue can be found just below. 

 

2. Mark Podcasts as Played

3. Modifiable Hearts/Dislikes

 

GOOD IDEA:

4. Spotify in Serbia

Spotify is launching regularly in countries around the world. Please keep an eye on the Spotify blog or signup here to be first to hear if we reach Serbia.

5. Spotify in Croatia 

 

NOT RIGHT NOW:

6. Landscape mode on iPhone

 

We're keeping this idea to 'Not Right Now', as this isn't something we have any immediate plans to implement.

 

7.  Friends Feed on Mobile

 

 

 

 

 

We thrive on Ideas

 

We're actively bringing your comments and feedback to the teams here so they know which features are important to you. If you've got a good idea, you can submit it here.

I see you forgot the Old UI post despite it peaking at #2 on top ideas and getting more than 1,000 votes.

Dear Spotify Office/Management,
 
Please see the following link for context on what I’m about to say:
 
 
 
I wish to complain on behalf of the MANY subscribing listeners about the new UI your developers have formed. It has ripped the heart out of what it means to be able to listen to artists we like or discover new artists because the UI no longer has the ‘Artist’ category. Instead, all downloaded songs are treated as ‘liked’ songs on one giant playlist which we would then have to separate, or simply by ‘album’.
 
At one point everything randomly wiped itself from my device at once and I had to leave it by my WiFi for hours to recover all those ‘liked’ songs but that’s probably just me.
 
Why is it that developers feel the need to change something just for change-something-sake!? There is no logical reason for taking the artist category away. Do you not think like music fans yourselves anymore?? Since when did you conclude that nobody wants to listen to songs by one artist at a time but prefers having to rifle through a whole albums list to find only one album??? It’s not good enough for paying subscribers who expected the earlier interface they are likely to have had before updating.
 
Complaint after complaint has clearly fallen on deaf ears and Spotify do not appear to be in tune anymore with what listeners want (no pun intended). Believe me, many like me are this close👌🏻to ditching subscription to you in favour of competitors.
 
I implore your developers to bring back the Artist category in an updated UI and/or at least explain in simple terms to me and others here how you thought removing this was such a great idea in the first place.
 
If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.
 
Many thanks.
 
Kind regards,
 
David + Other Spotify subscribers.

Bring back the song list and artist tab. You keep telling me all my saved songs go into a playlist called "liked songs". This is not the case since i have over 2000 saved and only 28 in the Liked playlist. Even if i unlike and relike something, it still wont show up there.
