    Damn here I thought something that makes sense, like me using cracked APKs, was affecting their profits. Good good.

          So if you don’t have internet connection you can’t use it?

              Well… With Spotify premium you can download and play it offline, which is what I was specifically asking about.

        It’s pretty much free premium, just only on that device

      Are there any trust-worthy and reliable cracked Spotify APKs which you can recommend? I only want to know because I want to avoid downloading them accidentally.

        This one is simple and easy to use. So be extra aware to avoid this one https://www.xmanagerapp.com/
