Spotify - Music and Podcasts 12+

This app is by far the best music service I’ve ever used. (Music platforms I’ve used premium for: SoundCloud, Apple Music) Out of all of the platforms I’ve used, this one trumps all of them by having the greatest variety of songs. Literally all of my music is on here, including covers, nightcore, pop, rock, indie, alternative, rap, and foreign genres like kpop and jpop. It also has the lyrics automatically displayed and as someone who likes to sing and sometimes read for better lyrics comprehension, this is a great feature to have! Of course I have premium but I’ve used the free version for a considerable amount of time, and I can say that it’s definitely worth it to get premium for no ads, unlimited skips, and infinite playlist customization. I love listening to playlists I’ve created on this app! I have over 20 of them so far. This feature is awesome; you can share playlists with friends (and even collaborate with them on playlists too!), put a custom cover image, add a description, and add whatever songs you want. I like this feature because then I don’t have to manually change songs every time one ends. The fact that you can download songs is great too, and this app works on very low bandwidth so if you’re on a plane that offers wifi you can listen without having to worry. Overall I’d say if you’re considering going premium, this app is a must have! But if you want the free version, just know you’ll have limited control over what you play and when you play it.

Used to be better, has a lot of difficulties that I’ll talk about.
Premium is a pretty good deal but good luck getting it, not only do you have to go to a website but the chances of that website working properly on your phone is unlikely. Your address is needed to purchase premium but whenever I go to put it in there isn’t a place where I can tap on to put it in. You used to be able to minimize ads when you were on the app but now you have to watch the many ads, which also show up every 5 songs. They make ads about their own playlists like they couldn’t just make it pop up on the homepage, and they also repeat ads over and over again until you can recite them word for word. They say they listen to their users but only to the users who write good reviews. When share playing with your computer almost all the time there will be lyrics in the song that don’t even play. Another thing that I find very annoying is the whole 6 skips every HOUR which is not at all worth it because even when skipping you still get ads. Then there’s choosing songs, say you look up a song and try to play it, there will be 5-6 songs that you will have to listen to or skip through to listen to the song you want to, I like the idea of suggesting songs but it should at least play the song I want to listen to first or second. This is all I have to complain about and I hope I can get some fixes or at least a response.

I always connect to my scion ia via bluetooth, sometimes I plug the wire in so that it can charge while I drive, and for some reason, like half the time, buttons like "like" or "add to playlist" or "make playlist private" or "delete playlist" etc just do NOT work at all. I click and theres no visual feedback. I check and the song was not liked and the plaulist was not deleted. Sometimes it marks songs as "liked" and I never liked it before. This is stupid. Sometimes I just want to park and listen to music and want to use those features at the same time and I can't for no apparent reason. Please fix it. It's frustrating and also makes me feel crazy bc I thought I liked a song or added to a playlist and turns out it just never went through. Or I hit add to playlist and it actually does do it, BUT gives me no visual feedback or confirmation, doesn't ask me "this song is already in the playlist", nothing. So yeah, great app but some features don't work in my car.

Also I HATE that you made the Library tab include everything and I have to hit "Playlist" to filter my library to just playlists. Why are you putting in an extra step for no reason. It doesn't make any sense to clog the list up with artists I liked. You can like like hundreds of artists and I simply do not have that many playlists. I just wanna see my playlists immediately and first without the extra clutter.
