Spotube App for iOS
Spotube is an open source Spotify client app for iOS, macOS, Windows, and Linux. It gives you access to premium features like no ads, endless skips, high-quality music, and the ability to download songs to listen to later.
In addition, Spotube anonymous/guest login and time-synced Spotify lyrics. However, it will never support Spotify shows and podcasts. To use this app, you should download the ipa file and use a third-party app to install IPA on iPhone.
To use this Spotube on iPhone, you should also turn on Developer Mode. Additionally, it loads slow after log in to Spotify. It may be because of my poor internet connection. Feel free to try it yourself and share your thoughts.
