I stopped using a spotify cracked apk years ago when I noticed my email got hacked (technically, it may have been Pandora apk but I still decided to stop).

I have been recently paying premium for almost 1 year but I stopped working for a while I'd like to save some money. I'm wondering if BlockTheSpot by mrpond on GitHub is safe?

It looks like it's been updated 1 week ago so it should work. I'd assume anything on GitHub is safe but I'd still like to ask you guys.

Also, is there a way to download "Spotify for Windows (64 bit) 1.2.33.1039.g8ddb5918" safely... or do I just have to hope it works on the latest desktop version from the official spotify website and never update it?

EDIT: I'd like to also ask if xmanager for android is safe, I've been googling a bit about it and it'd be fantastic to be able to keep using spotify on my phone too, without listening to 1-2 ads per song

Yeah this works perfect for me too. Using full installation it even download the latest working Spotify and removes the ms store version automatically. But I can also confirm mrpond blockthespot is also safe, just different developers and less features.
