### 4/5 — Bitte ein Widget

*2026-08-05*

Ich finde die App sehr übersichtlich und intuitiv aber würde mich sehr über ein Widget freuen, wo man sehen kann, wie viele Streams ein aktueller Release hat. Oder einfach Widgets mit verschiedenen Grafiken und Daten über eigene Musik.

**Developer response:** Hallo. Danke für dein Feedback. Wir empfehlen, es auf unser „Ideas Board“ bei community.spotify.com zu stellen. Gehe einfach zum Menü > Ideen. Andere können dann abstimmen oder sich an der Diskussion beteiligen, um ihre Unterstützung zu zeigen.

### 2/5 — Useless

*2026-07-30, version 2.2.33*

Considering the size of Spotify, this all is especially disappointing. I’m a new artist and have been trying to use it to make updates, but it won’t do anything. It keeps moving my profile picture to cut off my head. It won’t save my bio, which I’ve added several times. I finally deleted the app. Maybe I’ll try again in a while for the statistics side of things and see how it does there.

### 3/5 — Login issue fixed, but still issues

*2026-07-29, version 2.2.32*

There was a stressful login issue, which can’t be exploit now fine again. However, there is still two Stadium Noise profiles which Spotify refuses to fix!

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2026-07-17, version 2.2.32*

Every time I kept logging in with my email it would send a code to my mail and I'll put the code in but it would NEVER EVER log me in. It would just take me back to the welcome page.

### 1/5 — more control over artistic choices

*2026-07-13, version 2.2.26*

you should make it so we can change the color on the automatic “ featuring artist “ playlist background color that spotify generates, and just have even more artistic control over the art and visuals in general

### 1/5 — Request Acess Issue in App Only

*2026-07-10*

The app is broken on iPhone. I can access my Spotify for Artists account perfectly in Chrome, but the app always shows “No artist access yet” after login. Please fix this bug.

**Developer response:** Hi. We're sorry to hear about this. Let's get in touch so we can take a closer look. If you could reach out to our team at support.spotify.com/artists/contact-spotify-anonymous, we'll be there to help. In the meantime, please ensure you have downloaded the latest version of the app.

### 1/5 — Login doesn’t work

*2026-07-05, version 2.2.31*

Spotify for Artists has not updated my stats in three days so I uninstalled the app and reinstalled it to see if I could get it to update but that turned out to be a mistake because now I get an error message Every-time I enter my email. And now I can’t review my stats anymore or anything.

### 1/5 — Inconsistent data

*2026-07-01, version 2.2.30*

Nice try clearing my 1 star review. I’ll keep putting it back every week to remind you how bad this app is. Could it update on time everyday or anything? The playlists data is totally wrong. The date ranges are bad now. No dark mode. This is hardly an app. How is there no dark mode? App crashes so often. Nothing loads. No way to refresh data without force closing the app.

### 2/5 — Unusable

*2026-07-01, version 2.2.30*

I can’t even get passed the first screen that says login. Fix your broken app. Login and it goes right back to login screen to login again so I login again and it goes right back to login so I have to login again over and over and over again to login again after already logging in it asks me to log in again after already attempting to login after logging in.

### 1/5 — Can’t log in

*2026-07-01, version 2.2.30*

The login screen loads and never allows to login.

### 1/5 — Can’t log out and check stats for another artist

*2026-06-30, version 2.2.30*

Why does the app not allow you to log out anymore and check stats for another artist!?!?

### 3/5 — FIX THIS

*2026-06-29*

I really liked the live streams feature and I need it back it disappeared with the update now it stays the same forever

### 4/5 — Very useful!

*2026-06-27*

Started off with issues but customer feedback team were very helpful and easy to contact. It’s actually a great app that provides very useful tools to keep track of analytics on my music

### 2/5 — Canvas

*2026-06-18, version 2.2.26*

It’s diabolical that the artists are unable to share their own canvases via the app anymore..

### 3/5 — Bugs

*2026-06-17*

Tenho enfrentado bugs para efetuar o login na minha conta Google com a nova atualização de hoje (17/06/2026). Por favor, corrijam esse problema, pois preciso mudar algumas coisas no meu perfil.

### 1/5 — System requirements

*2026-06-17, version 2.1.50*

Last time I wrote a review, spotify for artists needed iOS 18, now it needs iOS 26, it's getting ridiculous. There's no reason for the app to be inaccessible, it is a statistics app, why could that possibly require the latest iOS updates? I haven't been able to use the app for a very long time now

### 1/5 — This app is so bad

*2026-06-13, version 2.2.29*

This app doesn’t update your streams or listeners, there are so many bugs, when you want to change your profile picture it takes about 30 minutes.

### 1/5 — Cannot login!!!

*2026-06-12, version 2.2.29*

Have been trying to login all week. My details still the same but error message keeps coming up after I enter my login details. Even after I enter the code it sends me. So upsetting and especially so since I’m only a new artist trying to finally put myself out there and what should be an exciting fun time, has turned out to be so unnessessarly frustrating because of stupid barriers like login errors. Very disappointed.

### 1/5 — Can’t access my accounts!

*2026-06-12, version 2.1.50*

I can’t even use the website on my phone because it keeps forcing me back to the app which is forcing me to update to Apple 18 which I have no interest in right now! Please fix this issue! It’s a joke I have no need to update my phone!

*Update*

Okay so I finally updated to iOS 18, just because another there app that was more a necessity forced me to. I hate the update. Things are in less convenient places etc. 

I thought well at least I will be able to use Spotify artist on my phone! But no! You have got to be kidding me!

What’s with your tech teams thinking they have the right to force a phone user to change the layout of their whole entire phone, just to use a single app!

Where do you get off!

### 1/5 — Stats STILL Behind Despite Update

*2026-08-10, version 2.2.34*

Spotify has still failed to deliver a competent artist-sided app despite another update. Information is behind by days and is non-sequitur.

### 1/5 — Not updating

*2026-08-07*

Changed my BIo, added photos some 100 times, still nothing gets updated on artist profiles even after waiting a week

**Developer response:** Hey there! We'd love to get some more info about this. If you have the time, give our Customer Service a shout. You can find them by heading this link: https://support.spotify.com/artists/contact-spotify-anonymous/.

### 1/5 — Inconsistent data

*2026-08-05, version 2.2.33*

Nice try clearing my 1 star review. I’ll keep putting it back every week to remind you how bad this app is. Could it update on time everyday or anything? The playlists data is totally wrong. The date ranges are bad now. No dark mode. This is hardly an app. How is there no dark mode? App crashes so often. Nothing loads. No way to refresh data without force closing the app.

### 1/5 — app dont work and terrible support

*2026-08-04, version 2.2.33*

my artist pick doesn’t work anymore and goes away right after i close the app, when i ask for support its the same thing every time. “please wait —- hours”, useless?

### 1/5 — Actually shows Spotify corruption

*2026-08-04, version 2.2.33*

The interesting thing about this app, is, it is failing to show one of my popular playlists that has my own songs in it. My lawyer will be in contact with Spotify shortly. Make sure you get this app so you can see where Spotify is deliberately ripping you off.

### 1/5 — Can you add a sign in with email?

*2026-08-02, version 2.2.33*

Hello! I was just wondering if you could add a sign in with email? Signing in with Facebook isn’t working for me, and I don’t like signing in with google or my apple account. Please fix this!

### 1/5 — Ridiculous

*2026-07-27, version 2.2.33*

The apps keeps lagging . It keeps posting artist in my profile that can’t sing. No wonder I listen to nothing but ai music it’s cleaner nicer and has more meaning than all this mainstream slop

### 1/5 — Was enjoying and working fine

*2026-07-27*

Not sure why as I changed nothing, but no longer able to log in

**Developer response:** Hi. We'd love to get some more info about this. If you have the time, give our Customer Service a shout. You can find them by heading to support.spotify.com and searching "Contact us".

### 1/5 — horrific

*2026-07-18, version 2.2.32*

someone said very buggy LOL!! listen to them. this app/website sent life changing opportunities to hundreds of artist working to get up there and get their music out but turns out it was just a bug.  mind you the bug says “fresh finds FORWARD” which is absolutely AMAZING if you actually get it. my family got one and turns out oops it was JUST a bug. insane if i could do more than a review for the mental damage it has done, TRUST ME i would.  Do not pay too much mind to what pops up on your screens!!!

*2026-03-16, version 2.2.23*

This app is very good for artists and their teams! One thing that would be very handy would be an option for artists to release music directly from this app. It’d be cool is DistroKid was integrated into the app somehow… Awesome app!
