Spotify has revamped its Apple TV app with a redesigned interface, offering a more intuitive and visually appealing experience that aligns with the platform’s design on other devices.
The update introduces several new features to enhance functionality, including the ability to search for and play music videos directly within the app, thereby expanding its multimedia capabilities. Furthermore, podcasts are now seamlessly integrated into the homescreen, allowing for easy access and playback. Additionally, song lyrics are displayed in real-time during playback, enabling listeners to follow along with their favorite tracks.
The introduction of an AI DJ feature provides users with personalized music recommendations, building upon the version previously available on devices such as the Fire TV Stick. Moreover, playback controls have been improved, featuring better queue management and options to adjust video playback speed, thus enhancing the overall user experience.
To add convenience, the app now supports control from iPhones, allowing users to manage playback on their Apple TV without interruption. This remote control capability simplifies navigation on Apple TV devices, making it easier for users to manage their entertainment experience.
This redesign comes at a time when streaming services are intensifying their competition in non-mobile environments. The enhancements made to the Spotify Apple TV app are aimed at increasing user engagement and retention, particularly in social gatherings or households where Apple TV is used as a primary entertainment center.
