As you can see on the image, you can barely see the artist, title and controls in the drop down menu "widget" on Android. This is not the worst case I've had but it's a good illustration, it didn't use to be this way, and I'd like to go back to how it was or anything better than this.

I’m really disgusted with the lack of control to dismiss recommendations etc. as a PAID subscriber.

The only recommendations they give is to listen to MORE to change the nature of the advertising.

I don’t want to see (insert some brand of shit podcast) on my home screen but there’s no way to make it go away!
