The general UI is not very responsive, however it interfaces well with the mobile app at least. The biggest issue at the moment is that audio gets stuck or pauses temporarily when the next song is about to play (when it shows what is next up in the top right). It's only for a second or less but it happens pretty much every time and it's heavily annoying. I'm on a Xiaomi Mi Box S android tv. I've tried clear data and cache, nothing changes.

This app is awful unless you control it from your phone. Just using it on my TV sucks, search is awful, can't open artists. If you have a playlist set to shuffle on the phone app playing it directly on the TV turns off shuffle on both apps. this app is completely useless on its own, it should come with a disclaimer that if you want to use this app you have to operate it from your phone link to your TV or else otherwise it is absolute garbage that does not work. I'll just stick to YouTube on TV.

It's a great music service and the enhance playlist feature has really helped me with playlist generation. I appreciate that the application is everywhere. A couple things I wish I could change. I'd like to be able to hide the podcast and the audiobook sections. I'm just not going to use them. I don't mind that they come up by default, but I wish you could disable them (even timed).

Please remove volume button hijacking! If Spotify is playing on any device, my volume buttons on phone are automatically used to control sound level on this device. This is EXTREMELY ANNOYING, JUST AS CAPS LOCK AND THIS AMOUNT OF EXCLAMATION MARKS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

8 years and 7885 votes later, Spotify has yet to implement multi-factor authentication. Wow! Nice to see they care about security and listen to their user base.

Use Spotify daily. Some weird bugs now that I'm using it on Polestar 2 car on GAAOS. If you have the app open on your phone as well as the car, the two apps get into a fight about which is in control and keep stopping the music. The workaround is simple enough - force stop the app on the phone - but it's just annoying. Also, it would be nice to explicitly download music onto the Polestar rather than implicitly via the cache. Not sure why this option doesn't exist.

Super frustrating application. I listen to a lot of podcasts. It can never seem to keep track of where I am in the podcast, it gets reset all the time! When switching from wireless coverage to cell phone carrier coverage it gets confused all the time. I go from device to device a lot, I don't want you to automatically try to switch devices! Stop making that choice for me. For a service I pay for, this is a piss poor app that gets delivered
