Spotify search works again, and game day sounds a lot better. In February, Spotify changed the rules for apps like WalkUp and cut how many results an app may request in a single search. WalkUp was still asking for the old number, and rather than trimming the list, Spotify rejected the whole request — so searches came back empty. If you spent weeks checking your subscription and your settings, I'm sorry. Nothing was wrong on your end. Search Spotify search is fixed. WalkUp now searches through its own service instead of through your account, which sidesteps the limit entirely. Searches return more results than they did before this broke. Search tells you what went wrong. Failed searches used to show "No Results" no matter the cause — no signal, expired login, service down. Now they name the reason and give you a way to fix it. Apple Music permission is handled properly. If you'd denied Apple Music access, search silently returned nothing forever. It now explains and links to Settings. Game day playback No more bouncing to Spotify between batters. WalkUp connects once and stays connected, instead of switching apps for every song. Songs start where you set them. A start time could be ignored if the track hadn't finished loading, so the song began from the top. Fixed. Auto-stop actually stops. A song with a late start time could run past its auto-stop and keep playing. Fade-out works, and ends quietly. The fade could snap back to full volume at the end — a jarring blast over the PA with a kid standing in the box. It now fades down, stops, and comes back up gently. Fixed playback failing right after opening the app, and a bug where the music service could silently switch on you, making Apple Music look broken when a Spotify login had expired. If your Spotify connection expires, you can reconnect. There was no way back before. Also Convert Spotify songs to Apple Music. Settings has a new converter that finds the Apple Music version of each Spotify song and shows you every match before changing anything. Optional — your Spotify songs keep working either way. One thing worth being straight about: Spotify's 2026 rules also cap how many accounts can connect to an app like WalkUp, and that cap is small enough that I can't offer Spotify to new users. If you're already connected, nothing changes for you. That's why the converter exists — so your lineups never depend on something I can't promise. Thanks to everyone who wrote in. You were right, it was broken, and your reports are what found it.

Spotify comes to WalkUp! • Spotify integration — Connect your Spotify Premium account and use it as your walk-up music source. Search and assign songs from Apple Music or Spotify, mix both in the same lineup, and play them straight from Game Mode. • Lock Screen & Dynamic Island controls — Run your whole lineup without opening the app. See who's at bat and on deck, play or pause the current batter's song, and move through the order — all from your Lock Screen or the Dynamic Island. • Playback polish and reliability improvements throughout. Spotify and Lock Screen Controls are Pro features. Play ball!
