User Reviews

Users appreciate Now Playing to Spotify for its core function of syncing detected songs to Spotify playlists, filling a gap in native Now Playing features, and ease of setup. However, multiple users report privacy concerns over extensive notification permissions required. Many also face functionality issues on newer Android versions and devices, along with troubles logging into Spotify via embedded browsers. Users desire improvements like refined permissions, better duplicate management, and enhanced login methods.

Pros

Does exactly what it says by syncing Now Playing music to Spotify playlists.
Easy and straightforward to set up.
Provides functionality missing from native Now Playing features on devices like Google Pixel.
Useful for creating Spotify playlists from songs detected on other devices.
Good idea and well appreciated by users looking for this feature.

Cons

Requires broad notification access permissions which raises privacy concerns among users.
Does not work properly or at all on newer Android versions or certain devices (e.g., Pixel 6, Android 11).
Issues with logging into Spotify: embedded browsers causing login errors, Facebook login blocked.
Duplicate songs added repeatedly sometimes due to playback from other devices or speakers.
Some features like limiting saved songs to 'liked' only or duplicate song prevention are unavailable or greyed out.

Update this. It's too good and now I can't use it on newer android versions

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.
