[Spotify](http://www.engadget.com/tag/Spotify/) gave its Android app a very overdue [interface overhaul](http://www.engadget.com/2012/04/19/new-spotify-for-android-preview-hands-on/) last year. The iOS version wasn't in quite as dire straits, but we'd still call today's redesign a long-needed modernization that pulls out some of the clutter. Its 0.6 update mostly brings in useful concepts from the Android version, including the always-on Now Playing strip and the seemingly inescapable navigation [sidebar](http://www.engadget.com/tag/sidebar/). The update also solves a handful of stand-out flaws, such as reflecting the right track on the lock screen -- about time, really. Listeners will need a Premium subscription for more than [just radio](http://www.engadget.com/2012/06/19/spotify-brings-radio-feature-to-ios-offers-streaming-to-non-pre/), but everyone in Spotify-supported countries can grab the update today.
