Official Spotify iPad app leaked in Instagram snap

Spotify iPad app

We love Spotify, but the lack of an iPad app is a major drawback (yeah, we know you can use the iPhone app but it looks awful on a 10-inch screen). Spotify’s website says that a version of the app for Apple's slate is “planned” – but it seems development may be a little more advanced than it's been letting on..

The Verge spotted an Instagram photo of a Spotify iPad app that looks very much like the real deal. The photo – since removed – was posted by a Swedish technology consultant who claimed the app was at the beta stage and “getting closer”.

The picture is a bit dark – that's what you get for using Instagram – but it shows a layout with overlapping panes, looking quite similar to the official Twitter app.

It looks like we can expect to see the official Spotify iPad app made available very soon – and there’s also an unofficial app in the works, as this tweet from the designer makes clear.
