Feature Request: Spotify Apple Watch App Podcast Scrubbing

Status: Live Idea
0 Likes

Hey guys,

I pay for Spotify premium so I can do marathon training without having my iPhone with me. My Apple Watch Ultra 3 has the Spotify app, but it’s glitchy. On podcasts, I will try to skip forward 15 seconds to skip over a commercial that has been downloaded within the podcast I’ve saved to my watch.  In three different podcasts on one 20 mile run, the app kicked me back in the podcast 5-10 minutes. Super frustrating, because there isn’t a way to “scrub” the podcast back to where I was before the glitch. I’ve uninstalled and reinstalled the app on both watch and iPhone, and the issue remains. Glitches aside, please find a way to give us the ability to fast forward or rewind to a specific location in a downloaded podcast.  A slide bar perhaps? A screen we can swipe left or right to get to that specializes only in scrubbing the current title? Changing the crown to be a scrubber instead of a volume control that I have on my earbuds?  Or even giving us the ability to change what the crown does in app settings?  Some who want volume control could have the crown dedicated to that, and guys like me who listen to podcasts on long runs can change the crown to help us get to locations within the podcast so we aren’t tempted to throw ourselves off bridges when we are running.  Love your app, but need this capability please!
