I suppose it is irony, isn’t it????

Atleast my reply was.

Although I have no trust in Spotify actually releasing a Watch app with LTE support in any near future. I will however applaud them should they actually do so.

Are there any music streaming apps?

I believe Apple Music allows streaming LTE Watches.

I sold mi Apple Watch gen1 3 month after the Release and i‘m waiting since then for a Spotify app with offline storage...
I think its hopeless.
But what a is smartwatch worth if i need to bring my Phone with me for Running.
I hate Apple for that

Totally agree. This is the one thing preventing me from buying an Apple Watch. It’s a dealbreaker.

Is Apple preventing Spotify from doing so?

I think so. Soon or later we will pass through the ring with Apple Music.

I didn’t know Apple was preventing it. That’s pretty suboptimal.

Pandora have an app, so does Audible. I doubt Spotify is restricted by Apple. Heck, I can even stream my local radio on TuneIn on LTE.
What is Spotify excuse?

 

[Luiggi7]

I don’t really want a Spotify LTE, because I haven’t the watch LTE. But the offline version of Spotify (with downloaded music) would be great for all of us!!!

This is a thread I started last year. Discusses how I moved everything from Spotify Premium to Apple Music. The situation with Spotify seems unchanged and I have no regrets moving.

I guess people don't know that there is a Spotify app for the Apple Watch? It's in open beta right now. An official Spotify-app that is.

Didn’t know.

However, no offline and no LTE streaming at this point. I really see no use of it then tbh.

If you want offline playback or LTE streaming a new third party app, Apollo, will do it for you. Here's an article with more info.

The Spotify-app is out now. I just got it downloaded on the watch.

Brilliant. Looks exactly like what I’d expect directly from Spotify.

Will give it a whirl during the next days and see how it works.

Note this currently is just a remote control for your iPhone and doesn’t offer standalone playback when out and about on cellular - hopefully they turn this into something more useful soon!

That is always disappointing. I really wish app that needs the phone nearby would be labled a helper app somehow, so apps that are standalone when you are not by your phone (either over LTE, or WiFi) are easier to identify.
