Spotify App Goes Live
On August 28th Apple announced that they had approved the Spotify iPhone app. Yesterday, the music streaming service officially launched in the app store and you can now download it for your iPhone or Android.
I myself don’t have an iPhone so I can’t give it a test drive (as much as I am dying to!), but early reviews say it is pretty much just as it was described in the video demo we saw back in July (see it after the jump).
As we said before; the mobile service is only available to Spotify premium users, so if you want it on your phone you’ll have to sign up to the €10 ($15) a month agreement.
The most exciting feature about the mobile app is the “offline mode”. Spotify can cache a playlist created by the user and allows you to play it offline, for example in the subway or on a plane. I’ve also been told the streaming is lightening quick compared to other services.
At the moment the app is only available in Europe, a U.S. launch is expected later this year.
For my fellow Europeans, you can download the app here. Hit the jump for the video demo.
