I’ve tried to create more and it’s completely broken. I even upgraded to a paid version, thinking that was the problem, but it still doesn’t work. This would be a really great app if you could get it to work. I’ll be seeking a refund in the meantime. ### 1/5 — Not working g at all *2025-04-26* I set it up with my Spotify but it just keeps being busy and never generates anything. I paid for Premium so 8 guess I’ll be getting a refund. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work after upgrading to premium *2024-11-23* It worked just fine on the free version, as soon as I paid for it, the only playlist it will show me is my favorites. It won’t show the other other playlists to select like it did before. **Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback and bringing this to my attention! The issue you described should be fixed in the latest update. If you want to give the app another try I hope everything works as you expected! ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2024-05-07* Doesn’t show up with any playlists except Liked Songs. Even if you select this playlist it then says no playlists selected. You essentially can’t use the app **Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback and bringing this to my attention! The issue you described should be fixed in the latest update. If you want to give the app another try I hope it will be what you've been looking for! ### 3/5 — Love the concept, yet too many bugs *2024-04-14* This is the kind of app I've been searching for years since Spotify removed their Running feature in 2018. Unfortunately, playlists aren't loading properly. Only 'Liked Songs' appear, and when I attempt to generate a playlist from them, the message 'No playlists Selected' pops up. **Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback and bringing this to my attention! The issue you described should be fixed in the latest update. If you want to give the app another try I hope it will be what you've been looking for! ### 1/5 — Doesn’t even play *2023-08-09* You did everything correct, except for the part where you add sound to the music, or even play the song. **Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback, I encountered this same issue last week and will look for a fix. In the meantime if you still enjoy the playlists generated by the app you can always open Spotify and start playing the music from there. Hope this helps and if you have more feedback feel free to reach out! ### 2/5 — Slow *2022-12-31* Doesn’t sink. I have to turn my phone on and off for it to generate a new playlist. ### 3/5 — Right idea, incomplete *2022-03-02* This app works, sorta; let’s you filter your existing playlists by bpm but the UX is squirrelly- the bpm/player control screen disappears with no way to bring it back ## Frequently asked questions about Running Beats BPM for Spotify ### Does Running Beats have ads?
