I keep the subscription because I use it to play music for my kids (which is a use-case I haven't found a suitable replacement for). If it was just my wife and I, I'd have dropped it at least a year ago.
The Android app struggles with switching off of WiFi to cellular and vice versa -- I have to force stop the app and restart it regularly, I mean honestly it's almost every single day. It's really annoying. The UX is also atrocious. The UI will frequently load with stale state but it takes seconds for it to update. I'll go to tap some album or playlist and it'll get re-shuffled and I'll have tapped something entirely different. It's honestly pathetic.
I try not to view the tech world through rose-tinted goggles but it seems to me that the only thing that keeps this company alive is the fact that they're streaming. Same with Netflix, honestly. And Netflix has been having their lunch eaten for the last decade. I suspect Spotify will go through the same experience.
