While I doubt remote working contributes to the shitty app, the following specific things annoy me:

* Opening the app on my phone while music is playing on my desktop causes it to start playing on my phone automatically at max volume.

* Closing the lid of my laptop when music is playing on my phone causes my phone to pause the music. (Here's a tip: I'm closing my laptop because I'm leaving, therefore I want to use my phone.)

* Having a weak internet connection causes the album page to take forever to load. (This is for albums that I've downloaded.)

* Gaining/loosing internet connection while scrolling causes the scroll view to jump to the top.

* Every time I reopen it I have to click on the album view.

I'll give some things I don't like, but I don't think they have anything to do with WFH:

1.) I don't like that I can only see the top 10 for an artist. I'd like to see beyond the top 10 please. Unless I'm mistaken, there isn't a way to go to the artist's discography and sort by listens.

2.) I don't like that you can only see stats about what you listened to in a particular year if you happened to save or view that weird reflection end of year thing they do. It would be nice to just be able to see a playlist of your songs for the year, and would be cool to see # listens for year and total listens.

3.) It very frequently doesn't show me my top listened to podcast(s). Despite following them, I have to search for them every time.

To each their own. Their app and especially their recommendation algorithm are the best in the industry imo.
