Spotify app for Samsung Gear Fit 2

[1Life]

The Samsung Gear Fit 2 was released 2 weeks ago. All reviews said/showed that it would contain a native spotify app. I´m trying to find that app - but no luck!

Can it be that Spotify only releases it into the US samsung Galaxy apps store? I live in Europe and that might explain it. I wodner if anyone can confirm that this is the case!?

One more thing, do you have gearfit 2 ir gearfit 2 pro?

I understand the pro version will have offline feature.

[Nick_Lombard]

Woohoo!

I just downloaded it.  So glad it's finally arrived in New Zealand.

Will try logging in tonight when I have WiFi access

No harm uninstalling old version I guess.

[dzebas]

Fit 2, Pro is not available yet.

Good for you. I have no offline access. Just streaming via WiFi or Remote.

Good news we finally got the app from the Galaxy Apps. 🙂

Awsome. You indeed have to disconnect BT from your phone, connect with wifi
and login with a premium account and there it is.
Next step, checking battery impact of using spotify over the default audio
player during a longer run.

I didn't disconnect BT from my phone, but had to enable WiFi to be able to login. Offline is implemented quite nicely, good work Spotify developers! 🙂

It works but I cannot say it works fluently. I have a Bose Bluetooth sports plugs connected and I get a lot of stuttering. If I play offline or online, wifi enabled or disabled. all the same problem.

When using the built in media player no stutter at all.

[dzebas]

Yes, got excited too early, stuttering is really bad, basically app is unusable, stuttering happens every 3-5 seconds 😞

Not sure if Fit 2 doesn't have enough processing power, hopefully devs can fix this.

I would hope it just needs an update as I can't see what the difference is between downloading my own tracks from my phone onto my gear fit & downloading through Spotify, unless it's to do with how they are compressed. There is enough space on the gear fit to hold a few tracks.

[Enriquevc]

This happened to me too.

The cuts or pauses are too often.

Hopefully tech experts can fix this soon. 

[Enriquevc]

It works in Mexico too. 

[Enriquevc]

No need for Pro versión, current gear fit 2 can download Spotify and it works offline. 

[Enriquevc]

I didn't need to disconnect from BT, but you do need to connect to a WiFi to login with your Premium account. And then download your music and listen offline.

I have the same problem in Hungary. (However I am glad the offline feature appeared!)

ps.: same problem: the music lags, pauses in offline mode

[v11viktor]

You can log in to the app. Select Stream on WiFi in the Settings menu / Playback. You have to log in. Than you can download songs, playlists (premium features).

I got it! First, you need unistall the current version (0.2.1). After navigate to Essential App on Samsung App to find the New Version. Working 100%!!!

[Enriquevc]

Do Anyone knows why the version in my phone shows 1.1.24 and the version in the Gear fit 2 shows 1.0?

Shouldn't both be the same version? or the phone is not updating the version in the Gera Fit 2?

[Enriquevc]

Yes, the Stuttering is so often that gets really annoying.

Either the problem is on the App or in the Gera Fit 2. Hopfully they'll come with a solution in the near future.

I also have that bug, in the gear fit shows a different version (1.0)
