Spotify Mobile for Canadian Users??

[Yanghiskhan]

Hello,

I recently tried downloading the Spotify app for Mobile devices (for my iPhone) from the Apple AppStore. However, my AppleID was declined since the Mobile app is not available in Canada. As such, I would like to upgrade to premium -- but before doing so, I need to know whether upgrading to premium will bypass my problem of downloading the mobile app.

In other words, if I were to upgrade to premium, will I be able to download the mobile app -- even if the app is not available on the App Store in my country? If I were to upgrade to premium, would there be an alternative source to download the mobile app, and thereby entirely circumvent the need to access the Apple App Store? 

Thanks in advance for any help, advice, and suggestions. 

Best,

 Yang

Hi Yang,

The Spotify app won't be available in the Canadian AppStore, as we're not available over there just yet.

Are you based in Canada or America?

I'm still connected to the Canadian store, but I'm living in the U.S.. I don't have any problem using Spotify on my computer, but I can't download the mobile app. Any other way I could download it?

Thanks

If your device is connecting the Canadian AppStore, there isn't a way to get the app, I'm afraid. The app is only available in launch countries.

Why not release the application worldwide because you still need to authentify with Spotify to use it? It causes a pain for us who travel a lot or work in the field because I need to switch stores all the time to just get apps from where I go. Worldwide release of the application makes sense then...

I downloaded the apps for my computer, my tablet and my phone. I started my free seven day trial. I want to sign up for the 30 day free premium offer. I entered my credit card number. However, it won't accept my application. It says "wrong password". But I am already signed into my account with the password I set up.

IS THE SERVICE AVAILABLE IN CANADA OR NOT. IF NOT SAY SO. IF YES GET THE darn THING WORKING.

AND I DOWNLOADED ALL OF THESE FROM THE CANADIAN APPLE STORE.

I CURRENTLY HAVE A SUBSCRIPTION TO RDIO, WHICH I WAS GOING TO CANCEL. FORTUNATELY, I HAVEN'T CANCELLED IT. IT MAY HAVE SOME PROBLEMS BUT IT LEAST IT WORKS, UNLIKE SPOTIFY.
