It's unreal. Tons of podcasts have the wrong feed address on Spotify and so aren't getting updated episodes. Their support doesn't care. No support for private feeds so you can't work around the issue. Horrible UX, constantly starts playing on its own as Bluetooth devices go in and out or range. Search is marginal at best.
- notyofriend 3y agoI have had zero problems with Apple Podcasts that just seem to work. Spotify is just kind of a mess. Apple Music still needs work but it’s ok for the price
- twisteriffic 3y agoI actually really liked Google podcasts. It had a rough start but after a few years of polish the only complaint I have is there's no episode search capability within a series.
- mewpmewp2 3y agoAh that explains why when I get a call during an online meeting, on the phone and I reject the call, Spotify immediately starts playing.
- avery17 3y agoThis is driving me up a fucking wall. Im so ready to be done with spotify...
- twisteriffic 3y agoI contacted support about it, they didn't even respond. It's been like that for years. Another fun thing it does... If you're casting to another device like a Chromecast, then pause, as soon as you leave range of the wifi network the Chromecast was on it'll start playing on your phone even though it likely wasn't playing there in the first place. It was the daily leave for work ritual to back out of the driveway, wait for Spotify to start blasting, then pause it again. I can't believe that anyone who works on that app ever uses it. It's that bad.
- mewpmewp2 3y agoFew times, it's made me have those weird panic moments when presenting a screen to a large group of people. Immediately mute myself, close the video and be like "sorry guys, something weird happened, I'll brb.'
