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.
