New Apple TV 4K hardware is expected to debut any day now, and today Spotify announced a revamped tvOS app rolling out that should make Apple TV users’ Spotify experience better than ever.
Spotify for Apple TV is new and improved in several ways
Today Spotify is rolling out a brand new, completely revamped Apple TV app.
Available via the tvOS App Store, the new app was “rebuilt from the ground up for a faster, smarter, more visual experience driven by user feedback“ per Spotify’s spokesperson.
Tentpole features of the new Spotify app include:
- Brand new, refreshed design native to tvOS
- Video improvements for watching podcasts or music videos
- Remote control via Connect
- Lyrics now available
- Spotify DJ recommendations
- Queue management
- Adjust podcast or video playback speed
If you’re a Spotify user, the gap between Apple Music and Spotify’s tvOS apps has long been pretty significant. But thanks to this new update, hopefully Apple TV owners won’t have to feel like they’re getting an inferior big-screen experience with Spotify.
Personally, the improvements to video stand out as a great addition to me since video podcasts have become such a key growth market for Spotify.
Recently Spotify struck a deal for some of its podcasts to stream exclusively through Netflix, and today’s Apple TV update is another important step toward boosting Spotify content in the living room.
