Warning!! You’ll probably get phished if you use this!

garbage, does not work, hasn’t been updated in 5 years. probably a phishing/security breach at this point. launch app on phone, approve spotify login, go to app on watch to connect watch to phone… no. Just infinite cannot connect to phone but sure have pure access to my spotify account! No thanks! Let’s go spotify just add apple watch mechanic already.

Doesn’t recognize premium account

Waste of space. Doesn’t recognize my premium Spotify account and thus won’t allow me to login. No support or help link available; just kicks me out. Don’t waste your time and energy downloading and installing.

Great potential

This app does what it says it does. No hiccups. If you can add volume control via the crown and a complication icon (it's there but no icon) please. Unfortunately, it does not do what I want; play music directly from my watch. Like the developer said, this problem stems from Spotify's end. Best of luck!
