Loading Spotify onto iPhone 4

Loading Spotify onto iPhone 4

How easy is this. Not that technically minded. I have Spotify Premium.

 

Will Spotify use up memory on my phone and some of my data allowance ?

 

Does it use up much battery power ?

 

Sorry if these are daft questions but I'm not that good with technology

To answer your questions:

 

Will Spotify use up memory on my phone and some of my data allowance ?

 

Yes, it will use up some memory on your phone, the amount depends on what you are using it for. If you are just streaming tracks whilst connected to the internet, Spotify will take up a little amount of space to temporarily store tracks. If you use offline playlists (so they are downloaded to your device), Spotify will obviously take up much more space (A single 4 minute track on extreme quality is approx. 9MB).

 

Spotify will use your data allowance, if you have limited data, I would definitely suggest streaming over WiFi and using offline playlists when you are about an about. 

 

 

Does it use up much battery power ?

Again depends on your usage, but on my iPhone 4S I get similar performance to listening to the native music application (using offline playlists).
