Downloaded it and gave it a try. Recommendations were not bad! Are you using the Spotify recommendation API with multiple seed inputs?

@jonathanzwhite nope. I built algo before that was released. But I'm gonna AB test that to see which one gets more saves or something. Thanks for checking it out.

Any chance of Apple Music integration?

Sounds cool, I always regret no having a "load more" button in the discover tab, this could do the trick. Any chance to have a web version (so that it's not platform specific)?

@oelmekki Thanks for checking it out. yea web version is certainly possible, and maybe something in the future I'll work on. There is also a mac OSX version too if that works for you.

@mai_hauran Actually, I'm on android and linux. But I know I'm in minority, so that's ok ;)

Downloaded straight away! Will give my feedback later today, but the UI looks sleek. @mai_hauran Starts playing straight after launch, is there anyway to disable that? Apart from that, recommendations were great!

@anthony_abitbol is possible. I can add a preferences or something. Next release.

I love the app but why the long name? It really doesn't look good to have under the icon "Discover o...."

Just released the iOS version of Discover on Demand. I love Spotify's Discover Weekly but by Wednesday, I've already listened to the whole thing. I created this iOS mini app to bring you Discover Weekly but whenever you want. Not just on Mondays.

@mai_hauran stuck on getting it to authenticate. No way to cancel and try again. Probably check that user flow out. 'Authentication Failed unknown_error Are you sure that your token swap service is set up correctly?'

@clarencewee thanks. Just got off plane. SFO! I'll check it out when as soon as I can

@mai_hauran sweet! Oh and I tried for the fifth or so time and it finally worked. Anyway to show you logs so you can identify the issue?

@clarencewee thanks for letting me know. I'll check the sever logs to see what I can find. I have seen this before and like you experienced, it fixes itself. Pretty sure it's spotify issue since their sdk demo app was also failing at that moment.

@mai_hauran it would be great to see a little more context in the app. While the minimally pure playlist is interesting, how can I cancel? Are there any options to customise?
Tom
Great idea. Spotify's Discover is brilliant. It could be more magical: instead of flat number why not 21 tunes or 42 or something that relates to the days or number of artists? So much space to have fun with!
Tristan Pringle
@mai_hauran hi this looks so good, is there any plan to make available for UK iOS?
Samir Doshi
