iPhone 6: New Spotify app hides play time

iPhone 6: New Spotify app hides play time

Hello,

 

I have a problem with the new Spotify app (3.4.0.684) and my iPhone 6 (iOS 8.4): the app hides the play time while screen is on and song is playing. (You know the time on the far left and the far right of the play progress bar that tells you how much is left and how long the song is.)

 

It stays visible for 3-5 seconds and then fades out. It will show up again if I touch the screen basically anywhere, including play/pause, shuffle and repeat, etc.

 

I'd like to see the play time all the time, just like it used to. Weird thing to change anyway, definetly not an improvement for me.

 

Anyone else have a problem with this new "feature" and maybe a way to turn it off?
