While iPhone users wait, Spotify unofficial app hits Google Android app store

The Spotify app for the iPhone may still be waiting approval from Apple, but that hasn't stopped an app for handsets running the Google Android platform being made available in the Android app store.

The unofficial Droidify has been created by a third-party developer using the Spotify open API and allows users to listen to songs on the move as well as manage their own playlists from the music streaming service, using both 3G and Wi-Fi.

However, unlike Spotify's own Android app, which it demoed earlier in the year, Droidify doesn't allow offline playback.

Droidify can only be used by Spotify Premium account holders. The music streaming service is peppered with adverts, just like commercial radio, but premium account holders pay a monthly subscription of 10 to enjoy ad-free listening.

On Monday, Spotify responded to Twitter chat which suggested the iPhone version of the app had been rejected by Apple.

"Twitter, right? We've also been reading Tweets claiming the exact opposite. Absolutely nothing in it - we've still to hear back from Apple. We ran over some technical questions with them the other week but that's as far as it's gone. We're as eager to hear back as you are!" Spotify said.
