with no fix in sight.

FULL STORY
======================================================================

If youve been having trouble with the Spotify app on iOS, youre not the only 
one. In recent weeks, reports have been flooding Spotifys official forums 
stating that the app is crashing and playing up even on the best iPhones . 

Despite Sportify apparently acknowledging the problems, there is no news yet 
of any fix. Spotify says its passed the issues over to its bug teams, but for 
now, youll just have to hang tight while a solution is being worked on. 

Two iOS issues in particular have been labeled as under investigation by 
Spotify. The first concerns performance issues on iOS . According to Spotify: 
We've received reports that iOS users are experiencing technical issues on 
their devices (running version 8.8.72.623 or higher). The app is crashing or 
the playback suddenly stops. 

The second highlighted problem surrounds the apps iOS widget . When a user 
taps the widget, Spotify says, they might get an error message reading Cant 
open link. In both cases, users have provided a heap of information on what 
causes the bugs, what version of iOS theyre running, and more. Crashing for 
months (Image credit: TechRadar) 

Experiencing bugs when running some of the best iOS apps like Spotify is 
never fun, and users in Spotifys forums have made that very clear. In fact, 
it seems like some of these problems have been going on for weeks, with no 
end in sight. 

According to forum user EyoS , Spotify app on my older iPhone has been 
consistently crashing for about three months  This occurs after a few songs 
have played. I am planning on switching to a new streaming service if this 
problem persists. 

Theyre not alone. Writing about the Cant open link bug, user SamiG alleged 
that Ive been having this issues for a few days now but just recently I 
noticed I can no longer listen to music. At first I would simply get the 
error and ignore it, but now can no longer use the app at all. 

If youre having problems with the Spotify app on iOS, its probably worth 
bringing the issue up on Spotifys official forums . The company has 
acknowledged at least 14 issues across several platforms in the last two 
months, and with any luck, fixes will start rolling out sooner rather than 
later. You might also like Spotify needs more than its new iPhone widget to

features for non-subscribers
