Spotify doesn't release through the app store because every single update has to be approved by Apple before it can be released. This slows down product development and is a bad experience for the users. Mac users with a preference for streaming their favorite music tracks via Spotify instead of Apple Music are going to love an extension for macOS dubbed SpotMenu. Written entirely from Swift, this app is a combination of two older apps known as Trayplay and Statusfy.
Spotify is one of the most popular music streaming platforms today. Users can listen to their favorite artists and podcasts, and make their own music playlists. Even though people typically listen to music through their cell phone, many use the Spotify desktop app while working.
