User reviews
Users appreciate Spotify Lite for its lightweight design, smooth performance, and less clutter compared to the main app, making it ideal for older or low-storage devices. However, many express frustration with recent updates that restrict song selection, impose shuffle-only playback with limited skips, and remove essential features like seek functionality and lyrics display. Connectivity problems and occasional crashes also impact user experience. Overall, while the app is valued for its simplicity and efficiency, users request restoring playback controls and adding missing features to enhance usability.

This app just is perfect right now for my older devices. Works flawlessly. Best thing is that I don't even notice the overall quality of the experience getting compromised over the original Spotify app which is absolutely stunning. One thing needed : The seek bar in Now Playing screen is of no use to rewind or forward songs. If you can make it usable, that should be great.

The recent update won't let me play any specific song. They removed the repeat button and ever the shuffle button too. At first the app was good and let you do what you wanted, but now totally acting as a dictator, if you want to do it then take premium. If this won't get fixed soon I'd sadly rather find any other app.
