Personally, I dabble with Spotify but primarily use Apple Music. Perhaps, unsurprisingly, that’s not the case. Spotify apparently thought this new design might be a win-win: friendlier to what users actually want while also driving engagement to nonmusic offerings, like podcasts and audiobooks. The company spent a lot of money on podcasts and audiobooks, and it’s struggling to drive user engagement to justify those investments. This has been a growing problem for Spotify, as it has attempted to cram more and more into the same app. The complaints center around Spotify trying to do “too much at the same time,” making it harder to just find music and playlists.

Hear me out… Spotify’s new designĪ quick look at the response to coverage of the new Spotify interface reveals that most users aren’t very happy with it. The redesign has received quite a bit of criticism from music fans - and it could represent a major opportunity for Apple Music.

Yesterday, Spotify announced what it described as its “biggest evolution yet,” with a new TikTok-style Home feed that combines music, podcasts, audiobooks, and more into a single feed.
