[Amazon] Accessibility for blind and low vision users - make the app compatible with VoiceView

[scoon77]

My Uncle is blind and was looking forward to using the Spotify app on the Fire TV Stick that I got him for Christmas last year. We were looking forward to using the Spotify app with the Fire TV VoiceView Narration feature-he relies on the narration feature because of his visual impairment.

Glitch...

On your Spotify app, the Fire TV VoiceView Narration feature does not function at all, except to narrate the words "Web view" upon opening.

Please update the app to properly work with the Fire TV VoiceView narrator feature. If possible let us know when your app is updated to function properly.

Spotify App Version - 1.25.0 (From Amazon Digital Order screen)
