Hey there folks,

Thank you for your posts and feedback.

As this thread here has become too general and has grown a bit old, going forward, we'd like to close it off and refer you to post in our new Home Feed Update feedback thread.

Cheers!

How can I get my old Home screen back? The new one is awful. I liked grouped playlists, that was easy to find favorite playlists or something new. Now it's all about scrolling big covers of strange podcast recommendations (also scroll is very laggy on my iPhone 11 pro). Feels like I'm on Instagram, not a music app I'm paying for.

The new update is unusable in my opinion. I’ve used Spotify every day for years as a paying customer and been very satisfied as I could see what I needed at a glance with a minimum of scrolling but now everything is so big I have to scroll endlessly and it’s all jumbled up and doesn’t seem individualized to my tastes like before. Very unhappy. Please fix. None of the below information is required. However, the more you provide the easier it will be for us to try and help.

My Question or Issue

[Hefword]

Cane here to say the same thing whoever thought this was a good idea obviously never used spotify before. This isnt instagram. I dont wanna scroll endlessly. This is exactly why i never update my spotify, and on the one time i do i get this **bleep**. Bout to delete. Been with spotify for several years and the home screen isnt even usable. Trash. If its not fixed im cancelling my spotify and switching.

I might have been an unlucky one that got chosen for AB testing… the changes to the homepage UI are not appreciated. I have to scroll through giant tiles of recommended playlists? not effective and I’m just going straight to playlists I’ve saved instead. Now I also have to search for my discover weekly and release radar. Please change it back.

It’s so bad on iPad also… imagine having one tile on a 12.9 inch screen… please help

“We’re always trying out possible improvements, so you or someone else may see something new or get a limited feature temporarily on the app”

what a joke… how on earth do you think this is even remotely an improvement?! One song/ tile on my 12.9 inch tablet screen.

is this an early April fools

[Spycei]

same it’s literally unusable on an iPad with a keyboard, please get me out of this **bleep** who thought this was a good idea

[FixtheUI]

Literally unusuable

So many complaints yet still Spotify refuse to revert this horror show of a UI change.

Makes you wonder if they even bother testing these things but they forget that some of us are paying for this & can easily cancel...... 

[scorpio321]

Cannot believe a single human was involved with testing this shambles of a UI update. 

Just shows what a huge faceless corporate organisation Spotify have become. 

[scorpio321]

Just complained to support again. And again I got a useless "we will take your comments on board to help improve your experience" copy and paste response. 

Get the impression they are just laughing at paying customers like me.

[dsdsdsdsds]

Wow. This 2nd version looks even worse than the one we complained about two month ago. Mine (see page 1 here) reverted back recently but I already left. These new bigger tiles don't motivate me to come back at all. Good luck everyone.

We still got no response from them. Just the tweet showing it as feature.

[scorpio321]

Have now cancelled my account because of this.

See https://community.spotify.com/t5/iOS-iPhone-iPad/Whats-up-with-the-new-home-screen-being-random-play... we are at over 300 comments without any meaningful response.

[dsdsdsdsds]

You will have to wait a fe weeks, maybe you get lucky like some people in

and get it back. Probably temporarily as they seem very intent to butcher the home screen into a few large tiles.

[sillysillymarym]

at the very least STOP THE WAVING LINES on every section!!  I don’t even want to open the app because those waves are so distracting… and all the things i love about using with spotify are gone. 😭

[sillysillymarym]

garbage!

[emc2beans]

It's completely unusable! I miss my daily mixes...

The solution ive found is to log out and log back in.
