There are already many apps that post “#NowPlaying,” but it’s hard to know which one to use, right? I don’t know either. So I made one! Once you launch the app, you can send a post to your linked account in just a few taps! - Not available yet (planned for future support) ↓ It will also automatically post when the song changes! (Auto posting is a paid feature) These can be toggled on/off from the settings screen. I’m developing this in between work and family time while taking your valuable feedback into account. Your support is greatly appreciated!! Thank you for 3,400 monthly active users!! ================================================== The source code of this app is available on GitHub, so I’d be very happy if you submit Issues or Pull Requests! ================================================== Term of User: https://github.com/nnsnodnb/nowplaying-ios/wiki/Terms-of-use Privacy Poclicy: https://github.com/nnsnodnb/nowplaying-ios/wiki/Privacy-Policy Notation based on Japan's Act on Specified Commercial Transactions: https://nnsnodnb.moe/commercial-law/
