My Question or Issue

I WAS NOW ABLE TO DOWNLOAD THE APP IN SWEDEN

Spotify app is no longer avaible on the Samsung Gear S3 and no one is giving any update, not you (Spotify) nor Samsung. What the **bleep** is happening? When is the app coming back?

Hey @Keellan! Welcome to the Spotify Community. ^^

I understand your anger.

Please be aware that this issue is already under investigation.

Be sure to check this ongoing issue thread to get more details about it. ^^

Peace

I am still having this issue as well. There is no spotify app located on the gear s3 store. can someone please help with this issue?

[StormBlast]

Same for Gear S2 - no way to find Spotify app.

The main thread shows it as resolved - its not!

[StormBlast]

ongoing issue thread shows it as fixed - and it is NOT!

[Keellan]

The Spotify app is now in the Galaxy Store again, enjoy using your watches!

[StormBlast]

No. Its not. I read somewhere that it is available now in US only... could such nonsense be true?

[Keellan]

I live in sweden and have the app on my watch now, so does not seem like only US

[StormBlast]

Could you please post a link?

[Keellan]

Don't know how to do that. I went in the the Wearable app, made sure i was connected to the phone, scrolled down in the Wearable app to Galaxy Store and in store i searched for Spotify

[StormBlast]

Thanks. Doing the same, and no spotify - Ireland. Must be the location issue... The terrible thing is that it is marked as solved when its not solved 😞

[Keellan]

That sucks 😞 I removed the marked as solved

found the fix.

Go to Galaxy Store

In the top right click the 3 dot button

Click My Apps

Scroll Down to Spotify and redownload

Worked for me

This is not solved. The entire Galaxy app store is gone from Gear S3 watch (you tap icon on watch, and it errors and no store loads), so no apps including Spotify can be downloaded or redownloaded anymore.

There is also no Galaxy appstore visible from the Gear app on smartphone. So no way to install any new apps at all.
