### 1/5 — Keeps crashing

*2024-01-31*

I can connect my Spotify, and get all of the settings ready, but the app crashes when I try to begin the hour

### 1/5 — Crashes every time

*2023-12-28*

Crashes once you select all settings. Garbage app

### 1/5 — You have to have a Spotify account to use this

*2023-07-15*

Wish it mentioned that before I downloaded it

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2023-05-13, version 2021.1*

App closes the second you try and play

### 1/5 — Literally useless

*2023-01-19, version 2021.1*

I used this app for a couple months and it was great for a while, but lately I can’t get it to do anything - as soon as I pick a playlist and try to start, it shuts down. No amount of force quitting, removing the app, and re-installing has fixed the problem. Looks like others have had the same issue. Don’t even bother downloading unless they launch an update post-January 2023.

### 1/5 — Must be glitched

*2022-11-24, version 2021.1*

Seems to shut down as soon as you pick a playlist and try to start the timer. Bummer.

### 2/5 — Not accurate

*2020-12-27, version 1.0*

I timed the songs because it seemed way shorter than a minute and some songs went 38 seconds, some 22, some over 40. For workouts this is not an accurate timer

### 5/5 — DIY Power Hour!

*2020-10-02, version 1.0*

I love this app - my friends and I use it every weekend for a drinking game. The game goes like this

Setup: With friends make a collaborative Spotify playlist of 60 songs (evenly divided and anonymous). Disable ‘Collaborative’ on the playlist and then use the ‘SMOF’ app to create the power hour

Rules: At the end of each song (when you hear the can crack) everybody votes who they think added that song
• If your guess is wrong, you drink once
• If you added the song, your vote doesn’t count and you drink as many times as people voted for you
• If you added the song and NO ONE guessed you, then everyone but you drinks TWICE

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2020-06-20, version 1.0*

The app does not even work for me. It can’t log in to my Spotify.

### 4/5 — It mostly goblin stuf

*2020-04-10, version 1.0*

It mostly goblin stuf to be honest 
not best or worst but sometime it play good and we all like yea yea oh yeah
other time like this bad and weird not what we ask for 
be careful if you don’t want to be pregnant
