(Mobile) Return repeat and queue buttons to Now Playing screen

[tsect]

The new UI for the Now Playing screen on mobile (iOS and Android) doesn't seem space-efficient. I understand that inevitably the design will be refreshed and changed, but, given the amount of unused screen space, I don't think it was necessary to move the view queue and repeat buttons into a separate menu. It seems like it shouldn't be too difficult to find space to these on the main screen, espcially considering how often many users make use of these features.

Note: Attached images show the Spotify iOS app version 8.4.91 on an iPhone SE compared to a previous iOS app version 8.4.81, I believe.

Give us back the repeat and the shuffle buttons. That was the worst idea to put them behind a sub menu !!

It might sound silly but this is becoming so irritating that is becoming a deal breaker and tempted to go for a trial with the competition

I think that I already get used to the new look and kind of like me right now, even when my firts impression I was missing bandly the old look!!!

Shuffle is broken. If you search/select for a song in a playlist, press the "shuffle" icon, it will repeat the same song. The ONLY way I have gotten it to actually repeat is to press the large "shuffle" icon at the top.

We don't need a stupid "like" button. That's what "add to playlist" is for!

Seriously Spotify. I've been a loyal user since last 3 years and the best part was your design and player. And now your player is the worst part. We have 2 ideas-

1. The share and devices button are so rarely used as compared to the repeat and shuffle. So can be replaced with repeat and shuffle.

2.Else we have one more option -- just remove the next and previous buttons. We can do that by just using swipe right and left. They can be removed. But repeat and shuffle are the most important. 

Please Spotify think about it.

I really, really hope that the repeat button could be brought back. To me, the repeat button values more than the shuffle one, but neither of them should be hidden in the sub-menu. I don't care whether the design has been changed or not as there is not much big difference, but the repeat button is like essential to every user. Please be wise and kind and give users back the repeat button. I hope new updates are available soon, asap.

I don't mind the look of the new UI, but to make the overall user experience more cumbersome by hiding the repeat and queue buttons behind another menu is beyond a stupid decision.

They fixed it, on the latest 8.4.96 beta.. it looks so beautiful, I appreciate it that they made the queue button on the bottom right where the share button was, it was to far on my Xs max. I love this new ui, especially because the heart(saved/unsaved from library) was easily pressable and I deleted a couple of songs I had for months and that sucked. Lastly, they should really have it as a confirm to delete because accidental presses could happen. Otherwise this new ui I have on 8.4.96 is the best new ui I've seen.
