Want to use Spotify on the new iPad Pro? Too damn bad, you’ll have to wait [Update: Fixed]

Spotify doesn’t work on your spanking new iPad Pro? Yeah, me too.

Again and again, I try tapping the Spotify icon, and I very briefly see the black background take up the whole screen of the new device and the big green logo show up in the middle, but then it all disappears, and I’m back to seeing the home screen.

It sucks. I’ve been dealing with it for a couple of days now.

Other people have noticed, too.

Spotify is working on a fix.

“Hey folks, we’re aware that users are having trouble opening Spotify on the iPad Pro running iOS 9.1,” Spotify community manager Meredith Humphrey wrote in a company forum post today. “We are currently investigating and we will update you here when we have a fix. Thanks for your patience while we sort this out.”

Spotify is the one music app I would like to use on the new iPad Pro. Fortunately you can play music with other apps, like Rdio or Pandora or 8tracks or Songza or Google Play Music or even Apple Music.

We’ll update this post once Spotify is working on the iPad Pro.

Update at 3:29 p.m. Pacific on November 23: Spotify today rolled out an update to its iOS app that fixes this problem. “No more pesky crashing on the iPad Pro,” Spotify wrote in the description of the updated app.
