Terrible performance
I don’t understand how people are giving decent reviews to this awful app while acknowledging it goes stretches where it just doesn’t play music, despite having good reception. I pay for the monthly subscription to this service, the fact I have to go long periods without being able access music is absurd.

Several problems with this app
-music frequently stops for no reason. have to skip song or restart song or restart the app to get it going again
-app frequently has problems connecting to a Bluetooth speaker
-app frequently forgets what song I'm on. If I'm in the middle of an album and stop listening and go back to it later, the song I'm on will just be gone and I have to go in my library and select it again. Meanwhile, if I open Spotify 3 months since the last time I've used it the last song I was listening to is still there at the exact second I stopped listening
-the songs I listen to scrobble on Last.fm after only 1 second of play. Songs should only scrobble after 50% of listening at least (this is to keep track of songs I've listened to)
-when plugging my phone to my car, I have to press play on the screen in my car, not the phone. If I press play on my phone it will not work and I have to restart the app and try again
-sometimes the app will just decide that a song can't be played and skip to the next one. How come the next song can play but not the one I was just on?
I have a year-long subscription but will not be resubscribing if these problems persist...
EDIT:
The app has become more robust since I posted this review a few months ago. The song stoppages are far less frequent. I haven't had an issue connecting to a Bluetooth speaker in a long time. Plugging my phone to my car works better now. So I'll upgrade my rating from 1-star to 2-stars.
Here are two issues I forgot to mention in my original review:
-the app doesn't save the way I want to sort my songs. I'd like to display my playlist sorted by most recently added but it always reverts to its default order of oldest added
-I think the cache prioritizes the same songs when playing a playlist on shuffle. I have to clear the cache to hear songs I haven't heard in a long time

Great app
App is great and service team was great help. Just wish they weren’t missing so many albums with so many bands
This should be the standard!
I am genuinely in awe right now. I’m hearing sounds I’ve never noticed on my favorite songs. It breathing new life into the music I listen to. Thank you. My only critique is we can add lyrics so I can learn and sing the right lyrics proper lol
Good but Annoying
Would give it 5 stars but there is no option to filter explicit content and if you do want to listen to all the words, swearing is sometimes (but not always) bleeped out. There is seemingly no consistency between what gets labeled as explicit and those that don’t (and just have words bleeped out anyway). So annoying.
