Hey there,
I completely understand your frustration with the glitchy Spotify app on your Apple Watch. It's disappointing when a premium product like the Apple Watch doesn't have a seamless experience with an app like Spotify. The whole point of having an Apple Watch is to make tasks like playing music on the go much more convenient, especially during activities like running.
It's quite puzzling why the Spotify app hasn't been optimized better for the Apple Watch. Given the advancements in technology and the expectations users have, you'd think that such a significant compatibility issue wouldn't be present. Having to deal with connectivity problems, especially when you're near your phone and Wi-Fi, defeats the purpose of the device.
The inability to smoothly play downloaded music directly from your Apple Watch into your AirPods is a major drawback, particularly for those who rely on their devices for workouts and outdoor activities. The issue with connecting your AirPods only adds to the frustration.
While it's tempting to look for alternative solutions like downloading a modified Spotify Premium APK, I would advise caution. Third-party APKs can potentially introduce security risks, as they might not come from official sources and could compromise your device's safety and privacy. It's always best to stick with official app sources and give feedback to Spotify about the issues you're facing. Hopefully, they'll address these concerns soon and provide a more seamless experience for Apple Watch users.
In the meantime, you might want to explore other music streaming services that might offer better compatibility with your Apple Watch, or consider using the built-in music player options available on the watch. Hopefully, with enough user feedback and demand, Spotify will take the necessary steps to improve their app and deliver the experience you expected when purchasing your Apple Watch...
