Pretty much everything about the UX on all platforms I use it on, the constant breaking changes to the UX, which just keeps getting worse. How its still completely geared around lists and recommendations, while 90% of how I listen to music is album or discograpgy based. How its piss poor (I believe that's the technical term) at actually recommending me music I like or could like, or in any way challenging my tastes. Deliberately not fixing bugs and known issues, and never addressing or implementing popular feature requests from the community, even those that are ages old and still requested. Still no lossless alternative, and it keeps getting more and more expensive.

I have the opposite experience both with the interface and the recommendations. I look forward to my Discovery Weekly and often use the "Daily Mix" and "Radio from this track" features.

I usually pick off the songs I like from these recommendation-based features and then I go to listen to at least their album, while adding tracks to mood/subgenre-based playlists for other activities. I dedicate time out of most of my days to just listen to music while walking.

I don't remember ever seeing a bug on the android app. Which's a bit odd now that I think of it.

Really polar opposite experiences from both of us. It seems that they're catering to people with my usage patterns, however it may be that they differ from yours.
