Spotify deals with degraded connections absolutely horrendously (on iOs anyway).

If I have a podcast already downloaded, but I am on an iffy connection, Spotify will block me from getting to that podcast view while it tries to load the podcast view from the web instead of using downloaded data.

I frequently put my phone in airplane mode to force spotify into offline mode to get content to play.
