🎉 Songify 1.8

Songify 1.8 is our biggest update yet.

⚠️ Important – Action Required After Updating

🔄 Re-link Your Accounts

After updating to 1.8, you must:

Due to internal changes and new Spotify API requirements, existing connections may not work correctly until reconnected.

  Without Premium, creating a Spotify Developer App is no longer possible.

• Only one Spotify Developer App per user is allowed
  Existing apps still work.
  ⚠️ Do NOT delete your existing Spotify Developer App.
