Has anyone successfully used Spotify's new 'Now' feature they've been talking about for weeks? I'm a premium subscriber and don't see the new running features, videos, etc.

Here's a review of it. I'm excited to use it but don't understand how to get it...

For me it shows the 'Running' category in the sidebar menu. But I didn't found the 'Now' feature yet.
I'm also a premium user.

Yes, I've had it for almost 2 weeks (the day they announced it). Now always shows up as soon as I open Spotify on iOS.

If you want the new features, go to Settings. It should say "show me the new stuff" or something like that. At least that's what happened to me.

I'm not seeing it either, but since I'm not in the US I'm not surprised about that

Are you in the US? Most people I've talked to in the US don't have it either

i got the pop up for it yesterday (Germany)


Nice, I have 'Running' now as well (got it a couple days ago, seems glitchy in my experience so far) -- but aren't there more features? I remember reading about a new videos section with news and podcasts etc. I don't see those on my end.

In my opinion, this is a lame rollout approach from Spotify. They should be getting people excited about their new features and keeping them interested ahead of Apple Music launch; instead, many of us get to read about these new mystery features we're not privy to.
