Spotify is one of the most popular music streaming services around – at last count, back in September, it had over 40 million subscribers, up by 10 million in just six months. The company is now testing a revised mobile app design that makes album art more prominent – but which also makes some changes to the user interface that might not please everyone.
As Android Police reports, it appears that Spotify has been performing A/B testing of the design changes with a limited group of users of its Android app, as the revised design hasn’t appeared for everyone.
The changes focus on the ‘now playing’ view, making the album art full-screen with a fade-out effect towards the bottom of the screen where the controls are displayed.
