Spotify Stations, the streaming service’s lightweight listening app offering easy access to curated playlists, has arrived in the U.S. The app has been considered an experiment by Spotify and by some others, a Pandora copycat, due to its support for instant music playback at launch.
The Stations app is designed for those who want a more radio-like experience, rather than having to seek out music or customize their own playlists — both of which take time and effort. It could also appeal to those who want a simpler user interface, as Spotify’s flagship app’s look-and-feel isn’t something that everyone likes.
Instead, Stations keeps things minimalist with a scrollable list of playlists and easy tools to customize your own.
In Stations, free users will hear ads and be able to thumbs up and down songs, but don’t have unlimited skips. Spotify Premium users will get unlimited skips and ad-free listening.
