5.6.0 Release notes?

5.6.0 Release notes?

Just seen an update for my iOS Spotify app dropped today. I'd like to know what 'changes and improvements' Spotify have made to the app, but it seems as though Release Notes haven't been updated for a LONG time now. 

 

Could you let us know what these changes and improvements are?

I have noticed this with the last few builds of the app actually. I don't feel it is acceptable for a developer to push updates to an application and not tell their users what they are changing. Also, the generic "oh don't worry about it and just turn on auto updating" message, where the release notes should be is pretty insulting to your more well informed users.

 

I will personally no longer install updates to the app that do not have release notes.

 

I have also put a negative review on the iTunes store for the 5.6 verision of the app, noting my disatisfaction with the lack of release notes, and I will contiue to do so for every build of the app where you don't bother writing release notes.

 

If one of the community managers reads this and can recommend any other place for us to voice our complaints about this, that will make it to the appropriate parites, that would be appreciated. Thank you.

There is also a Idea submitted about this.

Give that Idea some Kudos and leave a comment.

Thank you for calling attention to it. I will do just that!

Oops, that was actually a Issue Report, I will submit this Idea right now. I will post a link here.

Haha, I had already commented on the first one you posted, but I have now commented and added a kudos to the idea page you made as well: https://community.spotify.com/t5/Idea-Submissions/iOS-Other-Better-Release-notes-when-Spotify-is-upd...

 

I guess it won't hurt to have my comment in both places. 🙂

Thanks mate, I hope that Idea will get some popularity. Let's hope the best.
