“New to Apex, some devices/builds have spotlight lumped in with the multitasking dialog box. If we couldn’t get to springboard the old way, try the new one (it’s just a double-tap of home button)”

I couldn’t help but think how this could seriously improve the experience of enjoying music on the internet. But sadly, still a demo.
