Cannot add song to starred playlist directly on iPhone since latest upgrade

Hi, Since Spotify's latest upgrade, it no longer is possible to "star" a song. I need to clik on "add to playlist" and then select the starred playlist. Is there any way of actually starring directly ? Many thanks, Elisa

Solved!! Can you copy your "starred" tracks to "your music?"
