Spotify New Features? Announced but not rolled out?

[mikoskamuka]

Has anyone that is not in the beta program gotten the new features besides Running?  I am very interested in the Shows feature as I listen to a lot of podcasts and woluld prefer a single app for both music and podcasts.

I got the Running feature about a month after it was announced but Now and Shows have still never shown up.  I don't understand why something is announced in May yet in Oct it still hasn't been launched to all users.  I have been a premium subscriber for a long time but that doesn't seem to make a difference.

Is there any update on the rollout other than it's moving but moving slow?

Hey @mikoskamuka

Last I heard, Spotify was still rolling these out slowly.

Also I think it depends on which country you are in. Running was released globally, but the other new features were for select countries at launch. I'm not sure if they are rolling the features out to anymore countries than the ones they announced at launch.

I'm a US premium subscriber. The rollout doesn't seem to be moving past anyone in the beta program. Not sure why it was announced if it wasn't going to move faster.

Has any premium subscriber not in the beta program gotten either NOW or SHOWS?  Running seems to be rolled out but not these two.

I've seen a few people not part of the beta talk about having it here in the community. Not really sure where they are on the rollout process because they don't publicly comment on that.
