To start using this app you will be asked to authorize with your Spotify account by logging in to existing one or signing up as a new user. By having official Spotify app installed on same device and connected to your account you will be also authorized on this app automatically. When you performed the authentication, this app will allow you to search database for an artist and display the results with their thumbnail art in a list to choose from. Selecting an artist will show you the artists top 10 tracks based on selected country from the settings screen. Results will be provided in the new screen for phones and the same screen for tablets using the concept of the Master/Detail user interface design. By selecting a track you can listen to 30 seconds preview of that selected track if it is available. Music player with artist, album, track names and album cover will be showed in a new screen or a dialog again based on device type. Notification controls will be build based on app settings.
