| 2024-11-24 |  | | 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 |
| 2024-11-23 |  | | This app used to work well for me. However, lately, the app will start a popular playlist even though I have no desire nor ever listened to that music. It has also stopped playing in the middle of podcasts and songs, often requiring me to reopen the app, start from the beginnig of a song, or an earlier part of a podcast. It will now often go in reverse episode order for podcasts. I have tried every fix with no solution. |
| 2024-11-23 |  | | For whatever reason an error message "Something went wrong. Have another go. Try again." keeps happening when I try to search for a specific podcast. I've made sure the app was updated on my phone. I've even uninstalled and reinstalled it twice. I've made sure my phone has service, which it does because other apps and the internet works just fine. I'm so disappointed. I hope whatever the issue it is, irons itself out. Or please tell me, what other trouble shooting I can do. |
| 2024-11-23 |  | | Overall great. Interactive. Always on top of the newest drops. There was a short stint of time that the app stop if i locked my phone. I don't know what thats about. However if i have my phone plugged in, then it will keep playing in the background regardless if its locked. I have android, i don't know if that means anything. Or maybe i have too much stored on the app/phone. |
| 2024-11-22 |  | | This is a really cool app. I enjoyed both on my phone and on my television. The coolest part is my phone can connect between apps. So I can control the TV from my phone. Super awesome! As far as the music I am very impressed. The discover weekly tab is super helpful. As a DJ I depend on knowing new music when it comes out. And I learned about songs before most people get the chance to. Which is really helpful. Check out premium. It's worth it |
| 2024-11-22 |  | | 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. |
| 2024-11-22 |  | | 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. |
| 2024-11-21 |  | | Love Spotify on general, but the app has been very buggy lately. It crashes when I click on New Episodes. It occasionally stops playing sound, even though the app shows that it's still playing. Force quitting the app helps, but it's very inconvenient, and I'm not always in a position to do that, like when I'm driving or washing dishes. I've done a clean reinstall 3x today, and the issues are persistent. |
| 2024-11-21 |  | | I love Spotify! All the music I want when I want it! No more losing my CDs lol. Yeah the subscription costs some money, but how much money am I saving when I do not have to buy all the CDs for the bands I like? Also, I can save the music, whether it be just a single song or a whole album and play them offline! Thank you Spotify for that option! Well worth the subscription price for sure! |
| 2024-11-21 |  | | The addition of "sponsored recommendations" is making me consider canceling my subscription. The main selling point of Spotify is its algorithm of reccomendations. Finding me music that i will enjoy. Now i can no longer trust that algorithm becauee in the back of my mind I am always wondering "is spotify showing me this song becauee they think i will like it? Or because somebody paid them to show it to me. Spotify has killed the golden goose. It might be time to move to Apple Music. |
