| 2024-08-16 |  | | I'd feel more comfortable if the Advanced permissions were used so the app didn't need permission to see all my notifications, just the ones from the Now Playing system. It's a pity Google doesn't just provide a direct API for this. |
| 2023-12-27 |  | | I'd love to use this but access to all notifications is too much. If it were open source, I would probably gladly accept after taking a look at the code, but it's not worth the risk. Though it may not have been previously possible to gain permissions to more specific subsets notifications, it looks like that's now possible, at least on my Pixel. If it were possible to update this to allow access to only the apps necessary, I would gladly use it and share it around. |
| 2023-10-13 |  | | Appears to be straightforward to setup. Connect to Spotify, enable notifications, and hit synchronize within the app. However it does not work for my device and operating system as the playlist remains empty and the app does not show anything in the Music page. If it works in a future update I will change my rating, as this app does exactly what I feel What's Listening should have innately. |
| 2023-04-08 |  | | Does exactly what it says. Great app! |
| 2023-03-05 |  | | Does what it says on the tin. Great idea |
| 2023-01-15 |  | | Works well, but it would be nice to only save liked songs - then I would buy the developer a coffee 😉☕ |
| 2022-11-24 |  | | Unfortunately this doesn't work as I am unable to log into Spotify though the app embedded browser |
| 2022-11-15 |  | | Getting errors when I try to login. Attempted both facebook which is embedded browser error blocked by Facebook. Then tried to login with email account and it failed there as well. |
| 2022-03-17 |  | | It doesn't do anything! I just login to my Spotify account on PC and on this app. Enable notification listeners : OK After that I play a music on my PC But didn't show anything on this app😔 Only says : "login Spotify ok"🙄 I just want to remote my Spotify on another device with an ' unofficial ' mobile app |
