[Other] Lyrics support for Apple TV app

[themonarc]

Lyrics have been a great addition to Spotify apps across several of my devices, but on the latest Spotify app for my Apple TV 4K, the feature doesn’t seem to be available. Roku and Xbox already appear to have support, so it would be great to have this feature on Apple’s streaming platform as well.

The fact that the Apple TV app is still so bare bones compared to every other platform is showing that Spotify really doesn't care about customers, only being petty with Apple. It honestly pushes me towards apples service.

So we need the lyrics feature on Apple TV because it is on Roku, firestick and other TV streamings. There was a idea made by "themonarc" and there was a status update there will be adding it and they still havent put it. Its been 2 years spotify has said that they will be adding it but it is not there. I understand Spotify got other things to do but they have told us that they would be adding it. Some people even switched to Apple Music because of that.  

In the attachment below, thats a little idea for the lyrics feature.

Sincerely.

Such a shame how butchered the Apple TV app is. I just switched to Apple TV because I got sick of the miserable performance and constant crashing of Google TV, and I can't believe how bad the Spotify app is. Sadly I'll be switching to Apple Music now too, for the better app and free lossless. Luckily there are some apps that easily convert your playlists from Spotify to Apple Music. It was a good run, Spotify. So long.

The lack of song lyrics and generally outdated interface on apple tv makes me think about switching to apple music, I think many will agree with me, because this is a very important function that is organized on all platforms except apple tv, as if on purpose.

It's quite disappointing when you get an Apple TV, expecting seamless streaming, only to discover the Spotify app doesn't display lyrics. It almost forces you to consider switching to Apple Music, which then cascades into changing defaults across Mac, Alexa, Fire TV, and Google TV. Spotify's device switch feature is fantastic, but the absence of lyrics on a big screen is a significant shortfall, especially when Apple Music offers this. Spotify, please introduce lyrics to your app. It feels like you're overlooking a crucial feature, and it is costing you subscribers. Do you really expect your subscribers to open spotify on their phone and check lyrics in the midst of a moment? I truly cannot understand the rationale behind this omission

Any comments from developers? Why PS5 Spotify looks more update, when Apple TV? It’s so sad.

It's disappointing to see that even after several years, Spotify still hasn't implemented lyrics support for the Apple TV app. The feature has been highly requested since 2021, and with other platforms like Roku and Xbox already enjoying this functionality, it's puzzling why it hasn't been extended to Apple TV.

Having lyrics support enhances the music listening experience by allowing users to engage more deeply with the songs they love. It's an essential feature for many users, especially when enjoying music on a big screen like Apple TV. Hopefully, you prioritize this feature request soon to provide a more consistent experience across all devices.

I'm considering switching to Apple Music just because of the lack of lyrics feature on Apple TV.
