### 1/5 — Useless without Spotify

*2017-05-27, version 1.0.1*

As someone previously mentioned, it never connects to Spotify. That defeats the whole purpose.

### 1/5 — Spotify Connect never works

*2016-12-02, version 1.0.1*

Authorization button redirects to Spotify app and back, but never takes. Useless.

### 5/5 — Timehop for music

*2016-09-25, version 1.0*

One of my favorite new apps! Really well designed and exectured.

### 5/5 — Pure Nostalgia

*2016-09-25, version 1.0*

The Often team does it again! Really fun and refreshing take on the time travel concept, now for music. 6 stars once they add Apple Music support. 😉

### 5/5 — Yessss!!!!!

*2016-09-25, version 1.0*

Where have you been all my life?!?!?!?
