Anyone else having issues with Spotify jumping around?

Ever since a few IOS updates back, I, as well as another VIP, have had issues with Spotify jumping around. When we click on the app, it's fine. When we click where the song is listed so we can open the player controls and add to playlists, it will jump, usually, to the previous track, or, sometimes, back several, if the music is on shuffle. I've tried rdownloading the app, resetting the phone, and nothing is working. I was wondering if anyone else has had any issues with this or knows of any work arounds.

I don't think it has anything to do with iOS. I think it's a bug with the Spotify App itself. I've found that exploring by touch can help sometimes, but it's not a full-proof work-around. Here is what I do. Any time I skip or go back a song I immediately start dragging my finger around the screen to hopefully stop it from changing to a song I don't want it to change to. I hope this helps.

Yeah, I think it's a bug too, I think I worded it wrong. From what I could tell, it's been like this for several app updates now. I've left reviews for Spotify and nothing.

On the Player screen of the application, it constantly skips back to the previous track automatically. Additionally, the slider used for fast-forwarding and rewinding on the same screen is not accessible with VoiceOver. I have recorded the screen multiple times regarding these issues and sent emails to Spotify to have them resolved.
However, no progress has been made in any way.
Despite not knowing English, I explained the problem to them both in my native language and in English.
In the end, I received a refund for my payment. It seems like the issue will not be resolved.
