Hopefully it does work with other OS versions. ### 1/5 — Doesn't really work *2015-02-23, version 1.3.1* Can't even get it to connect. Shame. At least it's free. ### 5/5 — "Simply" Perfect! *2014-12-08, version 1.3.1* This app is a simple remote from which you can control tracks (forward/back) and control volume. Why pay for another Spotify remote when you can get this beauty for free?! I have two "AirPlay" wifi speakers (JBL Soundfly Airs) in different rooms on my main floor and a an Apple TV in my basement. From my Mac I use Airfoil (by rogue amoeba) to push spotify music to all three locations... To create a whole-home sound experience. Great for entertaining guests! My problem in the past is that when an obnoxious song comes on (too loud or different tone) I can use this great Spotmote app to skip to the next track or just lower the volume. A clean, simple, and free solution to perfectly meet my needs! Thanks Alex!!! Strong work! ### 4/5 — Functional! *2014-11-12, version 1.3.1* For being free, this works great for when I need to pause/play and adjust volume on Spotify on my iMac. Some features that would be nice would be the ability to control playlists and songs :) ### 4/5 — Works *2014-10-24, version 1.3.1* Clean look and it works. I do wish album art wasn't fuzzy and that I had ability to choose playlists. Not bad for free though. ### 1/5 — Not working *2014-10-18, version 1.3.1* Unfortunately doesnt work on iPhone5 - Macbook pro. ### 1/5 — iPad mini support *2014-10-09, version 1.3* It doesn't work in iPad mini iOS 8 ### 5/5 — Easy to setup and works perfectly *2014-09-15, version 1.3* Great free app. Hopefully will be more spotify integration in the future to change playlists ### 5/5 — Works great! *2014-06-21, version 1.3* Downloaded it on both my iPhone and MacBook and in about 5 minutes I was controlling my playlists wirelessly for my party. It works flawlessly for me... ### 1/5 — App doesn't work *2014-05-30, version 1.3* This app doesn't work - period. And yes, I downloaded the app on my Mac. ## Frequently asked questions about Spotmote ### Does Spotmote have ads?
