Customize your Spotify Music app experience with Xanify

Spotify Music is perhaps one of the most popular alternatives to Apple Music on the iOS platform, but if you sport a jailbroken handset, then you probably enjoy the thought of customizing the Spotify app.

Assuming you fall under the category mentioned above, a new free jailbreak tweak called Xanify by iOS developer Codey Moore might be of interest. This tweak lets you address several pain points in Spotify and customize the app to your liking.

iPhone owners can use the included Low Power Mode to save battery life on their iPhone in a pinch, and while it can be useful, I don’t particularly care for how it forces a 30-second auto-lock down your throat.
