    Universal Spotify and iTunes in one app - Plum Music Player

    Spotify is a great platform, with awesome curated playlists and music discovery algorithms, but I always thought that their mobile app had a pretty, yet not very intuitive interface and that browsing music saved in library seriously sucked (as I’ve seen, it’s not exclusively my opinion) So I...

Also, it's possible a newer version of iOS is installed...
