running newest spotify, have unistalled and reinstalled multiple times, and fully restored my phone.

this has been going on for two months now and will be canceling my service asap if it is not resolved...im tired of not being able to play my music. 

 

it crashes as soon as it loads, never can get past the main browse screen. 

 

I am experiencing the crashing problem on my ipod touch model no MB533BT

The app crashes on every startup attempt on my iphone 4. App and iOs are updated.

@erikrostvik - Have you tried a clean reinstallation along with a device reboot by holding the home and lock buttons together until the Apple logo appears on screen?

Every time I try to open the Spotify app on my Iphone, it won't open. The Spotify logo appears and waits about 5 seconds and then returns to the home screen of my phone! 😞

@lmertz25 - Can you try restarting your phone by holding the home and lock buttons together until the Apple logo appears on screen and then try again?

SPOTIFY CRASHES EVERY THREE OR FOUR SONGS ON IPAD 1, ALWAYS, ITS USELESS UNFORTUNATELY. I DONT MIND PAYING IF IT WORKS... SEARCH ENGINE REALLY SUCKS TOO...

@zuma Have you tried restarting your mobile by holding the Home and Lock buttons together for 10 seconds? What iOS version are you using?

iPhone 5, iOS 7.0.4; spotify update 0.9.2 (Jan 8, 2014).  Crashing upon opening app.

 

Tried restarting...

 

 

After my Spotify app was updated to 0.9.2 (Jan. 8, 2014), it crashes everytime when I try to open the app (within 3 sec). Neither restarting the app nor the phone helps.

 

iPhone 5c

iOS Version 7.0.4 (11B554a)

No jailbreak.

 

I'm using Spotify premium.

 

Thanks!

iPhone 4S, ios 7.0.4

Spotify v 0.9.2

Crashes every time I open it on my iPhone.

Just started doing this.  

Marked as solution

Have you guys tried a clean reinstallation at all?

The iOS app crashes on both my iPhone 4s and my wife's iPhone 5.

 

I'm afraid to uninstall the app and lose playlists and local files.

You can reinstall and your playlists will be saved remotely by Spotify, but you will need to redownload any offline playlists including resynching local files from your computer.

Thanks Peter, I had tried that previously with no luck but it worked this time.  

 

🙂

 

 

I used the app every day to and from work until yesterday when it started crashing every time I opened it before it even loaded the home screen. It just puts up the three dots like it's loading and then crashes.

I have:

iPhone 4S with the most recent versions of Spotify and iOS7 😞

My phone isn't jailbroken or modified in any way
