Spotify is finally allowing music lovers to share their subscriptions with their family and friends with a new Spotify Family plan. Prices starts at just $14.99 a month for up to two, while the top tier $29.99 a month plan allows one subscription to be shared with up to five people.

One of those apps is Gmail, which will finally support third-party email services, allowing you to use just the one app for all of your accounts.
