You guys are great. From a UX standpoint, I get what you're going for. As a marketer, it makes sense. And as a developer, I can honestly say 1.0.2.6 wouldn't come CLOSE to qualifying as a gold master, let alone something you pushed out to millions of people.

The 'bugs':

1) Rendering. Composite views in the app take 1-2s to render on an 8-core Xeon and a T1 line--I've seen much better performance from React which is DOM-based, so what gives? Are you firing synchronous API calls before loading the resources??

2) Local Files. More below under 'personal grievances,' but I consider this a bug for two reasons: first, you cannot sort by date added or adjust columns in any meaningful way. Second, it's not scanning local directories properly because plenty of local music found in 'Songs' is missing from this view.

3) Hover states. Dear god, hover states. If you actually are coding this native, then you've got something weird going on with your first responder, layering, or a timer somewhere because drag selection states are buggy everywhere. Songs, playlists, and starred. Play around with this and you'll notice how something keeps interrupting the current layer event.

4) Play bar. I don't know if you changed the protocol on the local server responsible for actually streaming, or if you shifted over to some event/dispatch structure, but I'm getting a 1s delay and surprising lag on the play bar. Not exactly sure of the culprit, but it makes it very difficult to quickly drag and scan. To clarify again--this is not related to the network. Probably related to buffers and however current_position is reconciled.

5) Spotify Helper. Did I mention it's eating up 100% CPU on one core consistently? Whatever you're doing on the rendering side with bindings is foobar. I get this 50% of the time launching the app. Yes, I've run disk utility, verified and repaired permissions and the primary sector. And my RAM (and VRAM) is fine.

6) A little one. When creating a new playlist and the artist + album fields are all uniform, it should auto-populate the playlist title. Not a big deal, but worth noting.

On to the 'personal gripes,' or 'dark patterns.' I get why you're doing it, but I don't like it:

1) You can't hide the social bar. I realize you want people to use the feature, but why not turn it on by default and still LEAVE the option to hide it in the 'advanced' section of preferences most people never visit anyway?

2) Local files are treated as second rate. Worse still, as mentioned above the local files view is actually broken. But even going through search and songs, trying to work with any kind of local media has become a pain in the ass.

For what it's worth, the API seems very well designed and as a whole the ecosystem has traditionally worked quite well. Especially when handing off streams between multiple devices and/or protocols.

I'll stick with my subscription for the time being, but can someone with actual clout take these issues seriously rather than just echoing the same old 'we'll notify the devs, thanks for your suggestion!'
