RETURN THE LIKE BUTTON

[juzh]

I don't care if this has been submitted a hundred times over, you Spotify devs clearly need to hear it. You should *not* have to go through the effort of finding the "liked songs" playlist, just to add a song to Liked, when you have a ton of playlists. Playlists don't even sort like they used to, it seems almost random which playlists show first despite which ones I interacted with last - but that's not the issue here; it's just yet another downside of the problem at hand.

Please. Please. Please.

Bring back the **bleep** 'liked'/heart button on songs and albums. Having to add liked songs to my liked playlist manually just leads to me adding it to different playlists because it's so **bleep** tedious in the first place. I've been adding songs to playlists and then using the PC version to mass-add songs to Liked because you make it so inconvenient on mobile. This isn't user-friendly in the slightest.

Just, why? Why can't you just bring back the little heart? I thought the point of liked songs was to add songs then and there; not to have to stop in the street to add a song to a playlist because it now takes several seconds to do so. I've been paying for Premium since 2009, and now I'm wondering if you're worth the effort. Fire whoever told you it was a good idea to remove the Liked button, seriously. Fire yourselves for listening, too.

Note that the + symbol doesn't help at all unless you're actually in the Spotify app. I distinctly remember (when the Liked button was a heart) that it would show on your phone's lockscreen as well, and when you swiped down from the top while using another app. This applies to both ios and android since I use both. And some of us don't want the Liked playlist to be the first pinned playlist.

The heart was infinitely more useful and the + symbol doesn't measure up.

This update completely defeats everything that makes listening on spotify great.  The biggest point to the heart icon was that I could see the songs I have liked so I can go back and listen to additional songs from that band to determine if I want to follow them or not.  Now, I have to replay every song in say, my Discovery Weekly playlist to see what was + because there no longer is an icon next to the songs.
This is by far the most frustrating update, and backwards thinking update that Spotify has ever rolled out and people have hated it since it was first announced 8 months ago!
THANKFULLY, and frustratingly you can still use the heart on the website for Spotify, so instead of using the app I just open my browser on my phone or computer to listen to music which now makes the app pointless.

I agree. I want to be able to tap the heart to ADD the song to my favourites, and tap again to REMOVE the song from my favourites. With the + symbol, you need to tap it, select my favourites, and then it's removed. Very irritating. Please upvote this suggestion.

BRING BACK THE **bleep**ING LIKE BUTTON ON IOS

Also, show the heart or liked songs when I look at a list of songs (like an album or a playlist. I NEED to know, when looking at an album or a playlist, how many of the tracks are already liked. I want to see this at first glance.

also, **bleep** podcasts, fire your MBA holding executives who think podcasts are a good idea.

Return the little hearts!! I can't scroll through new playlists to see what I've liked to get an idea of how much I'll like the new suggestions!

Love the irony of the op saying that the people who work on the app and thus keep it running should quit their job and not work on the app, thereby making the app unable to function.

Just lost all my pretty hearts! Now I see this stupid + which is similar to - and barely distinguishable. I don't like it at all.

What the **bleep** are you doing? Don't break what works.
