Spotify has not been a fan of Apple's App Store policies for years now, but the company buckled down in a big way when Apple launched its own streaming music service, Apple Music. And now Apple is aiming to make some things clear when it comes to those paid fees and more.
Whether it's personalized or general availability, one of the strongest elements of Spotify has always been its range of available playlists. And now the streaming service is adding one more, this one offering old school sensibilities for drivers.
Using Siri to control music playback, or other media controls depending on the first-party app, is pretty helpful. However, if your app of choice is a third-party option like Spotify, then using Siri to handle playback controls isn't an option. But it looks like that can change in iOS 13.
Spotify, a juggernaut when it comes to music streaming, has just launched a new, dedicated app that offers a new way to listen to your favorite music. If you prefer to stick to playlists, especially those around genres and other specific targets, then Spotify Stations may be the right option for you.
I like to use Spotify more than Apple Music, and for jailbreakers who are in the same boat as I am, it’s always exciting when new jailbreak tweaks get released with a primary focus of improving the Spotify app experience.
It was only yesterday that we showed you a jailbreak tweak along these lines called Spos, but today, we’ll be looking at a newly-released tweak called Improvify tweak by iOS developer LacertosusDeus.
If you use Spotify Music instead of Apple Music like I do and you have a jailbroken handset at your disposal, then you just might come to appreciate all the attention that Spotify gets from the jailbreak community.
A newly-released and free jailbreak tweak called Spos by iOS developer aesthyrica brings a plethora of new features and improvements to the official Spotify application, including but not limited to:
Although Apple pushes its Apple Music streaming service on its consumer base, I still find myself preferring Spotify, especially now that the service bundles Hulu with its Spotify Premium subscription. That said, I don’t see myself switching to Apple Music any time soon, and it excites me when I happen upon a new Spotify-centric jailbreak tweak.
The latest of such releases is Groovify by iOS developer Revulate, which brings all sorts of color customization options and a whole lot more to the official Spotify app for iOS. You can see a few examples of the tweak’s aftermath in the screenshots above.
Spotify plans to spend half a billion dollars on podcast-related acquisitions and now it's just made its first move towards improving podcast discovery on its platform with the creation of a fresh new playlist that combines podcast episodes and music recommendations.
Spotify, the leading music-streaming service, in its most recent quarterly filing announced that it now has a hundred million customers on its paid Premium tier.
I still prefer using Spotify over Apple Music, but that’s not to say that the former couldn’t do with some improvements. One of the most notable gripes about Spotify is that the random shuffle isn’t as random as some folks would prefer.
Here to a rescue is a new free jailbreak tweak called TrueShuffle by iOS developer Yung Specht, which, as the name implies, brings true song randomization to the Spotify app on jailbroken devices.
Amazon is allegedly in talks to launch an ad-supported music offering in a few days. While free of charge, it would come with a twist—you'd need to ask Alexa to play a song.
Anyone who uses the Spotify app for their music streaming needs as opposed to Apple’s native Apple Music interface knows that Spotify can be somewhat skimpy in terms of displaying album artwork throughout the app, especially in song playlists. Fortunately, those with jailbreaks won’t need to put up with that any longer.
Artistry is a new free jailbreak tweak by iOS developer Yung_Specht that forces the Spotify app to display album artwork to left of the song information in each and every one of your playlist interfaces, as shown in the screenshot example above.
