Love using Spotify, it's great! Recently been experiencing a weird issue with my new phone (android) where if I play music for too long, the music will stop, play for a few seconds, stop again, and repeat this cycle until I open my phone. It doesn't last long though. I've restarted the phone & tried uninstalling but it happens still (less frequently though!). Regardless, I still love using this app

Have used for a long time now. Since a recent update, can't get through more than a couple songs on my phone without it stuttering and buffering regardless if I am on wifi or 5g. I have to close the app and wait a few seconds before opening it again and maybe it will be fine, maybe it won't. I've fiddled with settings, uninstalled and reinstalled, restarted the device. Nothing. Keeps stuttering.

Somehow even worse than Youtube. Turning autoplay off does absolutely nothing, Spotify will continue to shove random songs down your throat. The amount of ads are pretty atrocious, even if you skip them, but you need to be in the app to do that, so good luck if you're doing literally anything else while listening. Once a suggested songs starts playing, the only way out is to go find another playlist, song, or podcast.
