Bring streaming music to your iPhone
Spotify for iOS 4 allows you to listen to music from a huge collection of tracks on your iPhone. If you have a device running iOS 5.0 or higher, though, you’ll be better off using this version of Spotify, which is also optimized for iPad.
Spotify for iOS 4 is free, but you can only use it if you have a Premium Spotify account. There is no ad-supported mobile version. However, with an account you have a really impressive application. Wherever you are you can listen to anything from Spotify’s huge and expanding library. You can sync with playlists you have on your desktop, create new ones, or just listen to albums, or artist selections.
The Spotify for iOS 4 interface is really slick and intuitive. Searching is simple, while results are easy to browse and well-organized. Any track you listen to can easily be added to playlists, which themselves are easy to edit, reorder and shuffle.
There is support for offline listening too, although obviously you can’t use music saved in any other app. Another limiting factor is when streaming using your 3G connection, Spotify for iOS 4 will eat away your battery!
Despite these small issues, the Spotify for iOS 4 app is quite an achievement, and if you have an account and an iPhone, downloading it is a no brainer! If you don’t have a Spotify premium account, this might be the app that changes your mind.
Listen to almost anything you like, whenever you feel like it. Spotify for iOS 4 is a powerful and really intuitive music application for your iPhone.
