What's New in tipSkip 2

2.1

February 8, 2018

This app has been updated by Apple to display the Apple Watch app icon. New features in this version: - Musicplayer design: We updated the musicplayer design. From now on, there is only one musicplayer active at a time, and it is always present at the bottom of your screen. - Knocking sounds: You can now enable to hear a short sound, when a knock is detected. This helps you to identify the number of times you knocked already. - Auto suspend: TipSkip now automatically shuts down when you didn't use it for a while, to save battery. This can be adjusted in the settings. - Insights screen: For the first time ever, you can have a detailed view of our algorithm and how it reacts to knocking, shaking and movement. This will help you to figure out the right sensitivity for your activities.

Not as I hoped

The Spotify connectivity doesn’t work and it sucks for people who don’t have Apple Music cause that’s the only thing that works

Just WOW!!

What an awesome app that works perfectly for me. Thank you so very much to whoever created this app.

Coolest app I didn’t know I needed

This little app is awesome! I didn’t know how much I needed it until I used it.

Edit- It is very cool when it works, but after using for a while now it is incredibly unreliable and doesn’t work most of the time.

It doesn't work

I've been trying to use it for a big while now but it won't work, everything was perfect, I linked my Spotify account the playlists appeared but when I clicked in any playlist it would say everytime:
tipSkip Error
Error getting STPlaylistSnapshot.
Please try again

And so I tried again but everytime it would say the same thing. I tried disconnecting my account and putting it back, I tried reseting the app, I tried erasing and downloading the app again but nothing, the same "Error" would come up

Love it

I downloaded this app many years ago and it has been so useful! It's great when you're walking, doing house work, or just sitting around and you don't want to get your phone out of your pocket. I love that it has Spotify connectivity, but it would be great if it could recognize that a playlist has been downloaded, so you don't have to use an internet or cellular connection.
