Spotify redesign

My relaxing app was perfect until i noticed i was having to strain more and more to reach the profile button.

My music app experience was seamless until I found myself awkwardly stretching my thumb just to reach the profile button. It felt like a small inconvenience at first, but over time, it became a frustrating habit. But then, with a few thoughtful adjustments—bringing the profile to an easier-to-reach spot, making the loop button more accessible, and refining the greeting 🤍—it all started to make sense. The small changes made a big difference, ✨turning the experience from slightly frustrating to effortlessly smooth :)

until I found myself stuck in silence every time I went offline. I’d open the app, ready to play my favorite songs, only to realize I needed to be online to choose them. 🥹 I couldn’t even tell right away that I was offline. The tiny notification at the bottom? wasn't serving. so, reimagining the experience. A clear offline notification lets users know their status immediately. A dedicated ‘Downloaded’ tab means no more hunting for playable songs. The clutter is gone, pooof! making offline mode feel like a seamless part of the experience— not an afterthought.
