### 1/5 — Used to work but stopped

*2021-12-04*

Used to work flawlessly but now instantly logs out of Spotify or says ‘The Coverflow API is offline’. Sad because this used to work really well!

### 1/5 — Doesn’t Work

*2021-02-10, version 1.4*

Hasn’t worked for me once yet. I have deleted and reinstalled the app and that is the only way I can even get a tiny bit further in the setup process. Currently, I am choosing Spotify, and then I go to connect the bridge, it finds the bridge (the IP is correct), then as soon as I press the button on the bridge, the app crashes. After this, as soon as you search for and click on the bridge the app crashes, not even asking you to press the button again. Must reinstall to get that far. Have also tried manually entering bridge IP.

### 5/5 — Solid
