Spotify Wont Launch on my Nexus 7 (2013)

Description

When I launch Spotify, I get the bar across the top and the menu icon (3 lines) on the left. (image)  Spoify never passes this.  Eventually I get the "Spotify isn't responding".  I have uninstalled, reinstalled, rebooted, etc and nothing can correct the issue.

Have you tried opening the app in landscape mode or with WiFi turned off?

I have a Nexus 7 and have no issue (although I am running rooted stock).

I have tried the following:

1) Wifi Off

2) Wifi Off & Landscape

3) Wifi On & Landscape

All options yield the same results.  The all just have a black screen with the menu button in the top left. =(

Any other ideas?  Thank you for your assistance!

Well it seems like its all fixed now. I did restart it ealier, but I also cleared my cache. Appreciate the response. Thank you.

you're Welcome. Have a good day 🙂 always glad to help

I have installed/uninstalled on at least 3 occasions.  I have also cleared data/cache for the application.  None of that have corrected the issue.  I will try to factory reset the device.
