I recently bought a new volvo XC40. Really nice car, and I was stoked to find a native spotify client. I found that the sound quality of the native client was much better than blueooth or carplay so I really want to use it.
Unfortunately the app is horrible, and it is really disappointing that neither Spotify nor Volvo (both known for their excellent product quality) has done anything about it. Issues are:
So there are 2 major issues here:
I am not sure if this app was developed by Spotify or Volvo. If it was developed by Volvo I can kinda understand that a car manufacturer would build a bad app, but if it was developed by Spotify then shame on you for allowing such a mess to tarnish your reputation! You are both from Sweden and should have developed something worthy of both your companies
Would love to know if anyone else has encountered these problems and if they have found a solution
Spotify app for the phone lets you download a playlist to play off line. Can you do the same with the car app? If so then download it once and then later when you play it there should be no delay (or data charges 🙂 )
After reactivating Volvo on Call function, which required some "programming" due to change of the region (as told by official service, region had to be changed, because originally my V90CC was from Netherlands, and now the country has changed), Spotify app is not showing images of the songs anymore. Annoying...
Hello, I have the same issue than yours, without having programed anything on the car . Since Last week, I can t see the pictures of the songs, so I have doubts that it s related to the change of country they made to your car. I did the same than everybody, uninstall and install . But nothing.... A shame , as the audio quality is much better than Android auto version but the user experience is awful . I hope Volvo make some improvment on their apps volvo cars and infotainment if they want us to keep on buying their vehicules as for now they are far behing generic brands on this aspect .
Unfortunately after 3 years nothing has been fixed and it has now got worse with no artwork. I will be selling my Volvo as soon as I can and willl never buy another one, and I advise everyone I know to do the same. Volvo is now just a cheap Chinese car sold at European prices.
