The Spotify app has far too much clutter in its current version. The addition of audiobooks in the future seems like a disaster waiting to happen.
There’s been a lot of chatter about Spotify turning into a platform that will support audiobooks. Last year, the streaming company announced an acquisition of Findaway, an audiobook platform similar to Anchor. And according to a recent report from The Verge, Spotify executives have begun pitching investors the idea of hosting audiobooks on the platform.
An app full of clutter The Spotify mobile app has seen several significant redesigns over the last few years, but the current way it’s organized leaves much to be desired. Searching for new music and podcasts has never been easier thanks to the many improvements to the app’s search engine, but much of the UI has been made drastically worse as the app has grown older.
Many of the issues I have with the Spotify app stem from the fact that it allows music and podcasts to mingle in the same spaces together — making it difficult to find either. If audiobooks are added to the mix, the Spotify app might teeter on the edge of being unusable due to the sheer number of worlds colliding without proper organization.
How Spotify can fix this mess The way I see it, there are two solutions that Spotify could employ to potentially fix the issue. The first is to create an entirely separate app for Spotify audiobooks. This is the least attractive option as managing multiple apps is hardly ever convenient, but it could have tremendous benefits for separating the different media.
