You can add a Spotify widget to your phone's home screen on both iPhone and Android, but what the widget does will differ on each phone.

Follow these steps to turn your cell phone or tablet into a Spotify remote control, allowing you to skip a song or queue up a new playlist on your computer without leaving the couch.

Install the older version of Spotify, and you’ll be able to plop the widget back onto any screen you want. More importantly, you’ll be able to access and play your music without any issue.

To set a Spotify song as your alarm on an Android device, you need to download both Spotify and Google's Clock app.
