I agree some apps need to be beefed up. And yes google maps is good. But nothing can compare to the simplicity of my iPhone 6S by 3D-touching the maps icon for directions home. Its insanely quick and easy to find my quickest route home from work every day. The google app by comparison has no 3D touch actions . So for my use case the maps app/iPhone 6S is an amazing combo. Everyones use case is different.
I've used AirPlay with it before a few times, but it’s a little more cumbersome and would crap out too much making it not worth the effort.
My wife says I've been far too nice lately. So now she wants us to go on couples dates with her friends. I gotta change that attitude post haste. You're the first victim. 🙁 Anywho, I wasn't aware the devs were asking for all the information you listed. Without that confirmation, it's kind of unfair to assume that's what they're asking for and base an objection on that assumption. You already know I've read those privacy policies. All of them (including Apple) explicitly tell you they share some information with vendors. It's irrelevant though. You didn't claim any sharing. You said sell data. Distinct difference and in no way are those terms synonymous.
After Apple announced a handful of new changes heading to the App Store under Phil Schiller's reign -- including a new revenue split for subscriptions and ads in search results -- Spotify recently commented its opinion on the announcements. Speaking with The Verge, Jonathan Prince, Spotify's head of corporate communications and global policy, said simply, "It's a nice gesture, but doesn't get to the core of the problem."
One of Spotify's major hangups centers around the fact that the new rules still prohibit apps from offering "special offers or discounts," because price flexibility is prohibited. The Cupertino company's policy makes sure that it's a constant presence between the customer and developer, "which means developers will continue to lack visibility into why customers churn."
Prince also said that the rules make it hard to even determine which customers could be considered as a long-term subscriber - an important factor to take into account now that Apple will take only a 15 percent cut if a user stays subscribed to a service for more than a year. Apple currently takes 30 percent of a subscription fee when users sign up to a service on the App Store.
Spotify's concerns follow an uptick in subscriber activity in the year since Apple's rival subscription music service, Apple Music, launched to the public. While the latter platform is on track to gain 15 million subscribers for its one-year anniversary in late June, Spotify has grown from 20 million paid users last June, to 30 million in May of 2016. The company noted that since Apple Music launched it has "been growing quicker and adding more users than before."

Lowery is not alone in "complaining" about mechanical licenses. There has been a tremendous amount of coverage of this issue. Problem is, it's complex — and very dry — and most of us just want to listen to music.
I went back and in my original post I said sell and that was wrong. Mea Culpa. In the last post I did use the correct term of share.
You quoted me correctly using the word "share," not the word "sell." Therefore, WT* are you talking about here?Keep spreading the lie.
Because they open source your information.Keep spreading the lie.
Now that's a word salad. It's missing bacon bits. Allow me to add some. From your quote: "What I am against is sharing of PII... This Spotify claim is not real because as I have shown there are clear ways to get the information. They either don't want people to know or they are too lazy to develop what others already have."
For me, I am content with streaming precisely because I don't want to have to manage a music library. I like the idea of having accessing to any song I want in a heartbeat. I realise all this is gone once I stop subscribing, and I am fine with that.
Because people don't turn off newsletters? If I don't get an IA notification it will likely go unseen because I turn off my email subscriptions for 90% of the apps and sites I use.
