Reviews
Pretty okay but frustrating at once.
Tony Tenerelli
I'll give this app the benefit of the doubt that it works very well when you're playing popular songs but when you try to get creative and ask for songs that are a little bit of a deeper cut, the app cuts you off halfway through talking and assumes that you said something different. I was able to login with my Spotify account very easily and the directions on how to use the app are very simple and well explained. I'm actually considering canceling Spotify premium because of this app unfortunately. I really want the functionality to be able to tell Siri what to search for and what song to play. I am most likely going to go back to Apple Music. I think the developers are on a really good path with this app and should continue to make it better.
This would be great if..

It actually opened and didn't crash every time. I'm going to cancel my subscription because I can't even use it on my watch like I wanted.
Doesn't work with Bluetooth speakers/headphones

Don't bother downloading if you use Bluetooth to play music. It's useless
To the contrary...

To the contrary this app does indeed work on the Apple Watch, in fact once you figure out the basics it works very well. For some reason it did not occur to me that the app needed to be running on the phone in order for the watch to respond. Once I came to that brilliant realization The entire world of Spotify music became available to me via the Apple Watch. There is of course always room for improvement, interface and stability issues I'm sure will be addressed in future updates. As for right now the app is functional a great deal of fun and a wonderful way to demonstrate your Apple Watch and enjoy your favorite Spotify music at the same time.
Works like a charm!

I mainly listen to music in the car and this is exactly the app I need to keep the music playing without too much hands-on interaction. Simple and effective. 5 stars!
It's actually pretty good

When I first downloaded the app it didn't work very well. I tried a couple others but this is the only one I found where you can actually use your voice to search for songs. The last update as of 11.04 works pretty good. Keep up the good work Dev
Crashes a lot
Tylerwatt12
It crashes when I try loading playlists manually from my watch Play pause doesn't work on watch when app is open on phone and phone screen is locked, but it's fine when the app is closed to background and screen is off
