With the latest update, which changed Spotify's interface on iOs, listening to music has become slightly annoying. Here are a list of the problems I've experienced:

• I cannot just hit "play" when I open the app or when I've left it alone for a bit. I have to go forward or back a track in order to play music. It doesn't respond when I first open it. 
• I cannot pause it, either. When I've listened to music for more than a minute or so, I have to disconnect my headphones in order for the music to stop, otherwise I can hit pause as many times as I can and it won't stop. 
• When I go to certain tracks, it will always start the song at 1:36, rather than the beginning. It doesn't reset the song to the beginning.
• The interface has been incredibly slow. When I downloaded the songs through WiFi, I couldn't do anything on the app. It froze completely, took 4 hours to download songs that used to take an hour at most, and would stop repeatedly after 100 songs were downloaded.

I like the interface change and all, but I lost proper functionality with the app because of it. Has any one else encountered this problem?

I have uninstalled and reinstalled the app, even factory reset my iOs. It hasn't made any difference.
