The first app to bring you mobile Spotify friend activity since August 25th, 2021. The new widget will update in real-time: - If the app is closed or in the background, expect the widget to only update around every 15 minutes or so. - If the app is open, the widget and the app will both update in real time. (Apparently sometimes faster than Spotify itself) This app allows you to see your friends' listening activity on Spotify.
