If Spotify adandons Windows smartphones

Solved!

If Spotify adandons Windows smartphones

You don't update the app, and I believe you're gonna abandon the platform. What about the paid subscribers? I have the app installed on my laptop but I wanna listen to music on the go. What will happen on this scenario?

"Spotify for Windows Phone has been placed into maintenance mode. Thus, we will only be making critical security updates to the current Spotify app and not releasing any new features nor improving support for old devices going forward. Users can continue to use Spotify on previously supported Windows Phones and Spotify will remain on the Windows Store.

 

We will continue to work closely with Microsoft to ensure the best experience on Windows platforms and are constantly evaluating the most effective path going forward."

just pull the broken beyond repair windows phone app from the store. 

"maintenance mode" ROFL

 

"We will continue to work closely with Microsoft to ensure the best experience on Windows platforms and are constantly evaluating the most effective path going forward." Double ROFL.

 

The app is broken since the release of windows 10. 

the new creators update won't make the situation better.
