I'm thinking about switching from play music to Spotify and the Spotify app is just so damn ugly, and inconvenient. I hate that all my stuff and recent listenings aren't at the forefront.

It could use a refresh, however, I use my phone to control everything and play to my tv/many googlecast enabled speakers throughout the house so I hardly notice how bad it is.
App is the same on the Xbox One, and they just released the app so I can't imagine they'll change it anytime soon. Although I wouldn't say that the app is "bad", it doesn't fit into material design but Spotify does have a unified UI on Windows, mac OS, iOS, Android, Xbox, PlayStation etc.
Not being able to browse by artist catalog and instead having to browse by album/playlist really annoys me.
I'm just happy there is one. For a long time we had nothing at all.
It's not the best app but you can always use your phone or tablet (or even PC) and play the music on the TV using Spotify Connect.
Agree, spotify on PS4/Android is really bad...
To some extent, I hate Spotify on Android TV until I met TuneFab Spotify Music Converter then I think that it is not bad for listening Spotify Music on Android TV.
My old carrier gave me a free Napster music flatrate - now that was a truly terrible app, as in 2001 RealPlayer bad.
Spotify is fine. They don't really follow OS UI guidelines, but instead provide a unified look and feel across platforms - and that's not necessarily a bad thing, most people use it across platforms after all. It's also subtle enough not to stand out too much either. It works, is intuitive enough and the black UI looks good on my OLED screen.
It certainly has its quirks and cold use tweaking, but hate is far too strong of an emotion. It also does a whole lot of stuff better than Play Music - especially cross device playback.
