Spotify’s version 3.0 update brings some much needed incremental changes

Apple Music is a giant Spotify is going to have to deal with at some point, especially when it comes to functionality, but for now, Spotify remains as a big player in the music streaming market. And it’s getting even better with version 3.0.

Version 3.0 doesn’t bring with it any new features or big design overhauls. There have been some small, incremental changes, though. The mini player now has an up arrow, letting you easily switch to the main player. Similarly, the main player has a down arrow, letting you revert back to the mini player for easy browsing.

There’s also been some small animations added to the mini player, but what might be the most noticeable is that the main player’s controls have been moved around. Spotify has also made it more obvious that you can swipe between songs over just using the “next” button.

These are just some small changes, which might be surprising for hitting version 3.0. Either way, these are some changes that Spotify was very much in need of. It all works towards making the app a more seamless and easy-to-use experience, and even the smallest changes contribute to that goal. Still, the overall functionality of the app is poor, and is something that’s going to have to be addressed to better compete with the new giant in the music streaming market.
