My Question or Issue

Why is the IOS app so much better? It's far better on my iPhone 6. I have a screenshot of both.

 

The main features that are missing are:

- Swiping right on a song to add it to queue

- Album covers next to each song

- Swipe down to search

 

Obviously there's still a way to do these actions but it involves an extra step which is redundant. In my opinion and many others I've seen on reddit, the iOS version is so much better. Can you give android some love?

I totally agree. Back when I had an iPhone, swiping right on a song to add it to the queue felt like a normal thing to do. When I got an Android phone I though it was a bug but later found out this feature didn't even exist on Android.

For me the album covers are showing up next to every song.

When in the music player and wanted to go back to the playlist or search, I agree, you should be able to just swipe down to close the player (just like on iOS).

Also, if I'm viewing a playlist in the "Your Library" tab for example, when I go to another tab (Search or Home), it forgets what I was doing in the previous tab. This is so frustrating because when I switch tabs, and go back to the first one I have to find I was doing before. This wasn't the case on iOS.

Apparently the album covers show everywhere apart from album playlists on iOS. That feature is new and is on it's way to android too!
