the best and most useful music app. just switched from apple music. spotify has provided a better user experience so far.

pros:

always dark theme

supported by many 3rd party platforms

accurate music, playlist, and podcast suggestions

finding/following friends

has the most number of users. so it is easy to share music with other users

hulu and spotify bundle

great apple watch app

has a larger turkish music library. i don't know whether this is the same for all genres

cons:
