Ratings and reviews

The app on chromecast has gotten worse. They've removed some of the functionality such as starting a song radio. when I go to search, instead of bringing up the keyboard it regularly shows a pop up that says "Use Spotify app to search". this is frustrating because it means I can't search using voice control. it frequently fails to sync progress on the track I playing when I move between devices. if I listen to an audio book and take a break to listen to something else, the audio book disappears from my recently played and I have to go search for it again. another issue stems from. having a few accounts signed into on the chromecast. if my partner is over, we will listen to something on my Spotify account on the chromecast. however when he leaves and puts music on in his car, if I open up Spotify it will have switched over to his account and show me what he's playing, despite him never opening Spotify on his phone while he's here. Now that Spotify are hiking prices again, I'm seriously considering cancelling. I'm not inclined to pay more money for a worse product.

This is SOOOOOOOOO GOOD. I don't understand why you people complain. It works great, and when opening another app or something with extra sound, the music stops instead of it overlapping the streaming services. It also puts together amazing playlists based off of what you listen to. Using it on my Xbox is even better, because being able to game while listening to Midnight Sun - Zara Larsson is like heaven.

For me, Spotify's overall performance was good, apart from not having the ability to create my own personal playlists on Spotify tv, and only on a phone. Apart from that minor annoyance, I think that Spotify a great app, and I highly recommend it for everyone!
