Spotify Officially Debuts Apple Watch App, Rolling Out to Everyone Over Coming Week

Spotify for the Apple Watch (https://www.macrumors.com/roundup/apple-watch/) is rolling out to all users over the coming week. Announced by the company today (https://newsroom.spotify.com/2018-11-13/spotify-for-apple-watch-helps-you-keep-time-with-the-music/), the release follows a beta version of the app that appeared in early November (https://www.macrumors.com/2018/11/02/spotify-apple-watch-watchos-app-in-works/), and comes well over a year since Spotify hired (https://www.macrumors.com/2017/04/12/spotify-coming-to-apple-watch/) "Snowy" developer Andrew Chang onto its team to help build the app.
