- godzillabrennus 9y agoIt’s still horrible for me.
- DrJokepu 9y agoWell that being said, Spotify was working really hard in the meantime on making their UX worse than ever before. They came a long way since 2009 (back then it was actually pretty good). A few more years of this innovation and it might get even worse than iTunes.
- mortenjorck 9y agoEvery time I launch Spotify on my iPad, I’m stupefied that they regressed from their excellent, scrolling pane-based tablet UI to a blown-up phone layout. If it weren’t for Discover Weekly, I would have switched to Apple Music long ago.
- KozmoNau7 9y agoI dumped tablets a long time ago, since no one seems to be willing to make good tablet apps, instead of just scaling up their phone apps. Tablets had their time, but they're just junk now. Netbooks/ultrabooks have 10+ hours battery life now, and can run an actual full-featured OS, with actual applications.

- mortenjorck 9y agoApple Music was a pretty roughly grafted-on experience to the iOS music app when it first debuted, but the version that came out with iOS 10 was a massive improvement, leapfrogging Spotify in my opinion. Spotify, ironically, has been moving in the opposite direction.
- gumby 9y agoWow, given how user-hostile the Spotify interface is, that's pretty damning of Apple's efforts. I use spotify despite its interface.
