Apollo for Watch - Standalone Spotify music player for the Apple Watch

I have been hoping beyond hope for this app for months so I could leave my phone at home while I run. I was very disappointed when Spotify announced they were releasing a watch app with neither standalone playback nor offline playback. It's pretty astounding that this developer quietly beat Spotify to the punch and that PH was the first I heard of it. This should be getting more buzz because their app really does just work as promised and it came out the same day as the official alternative.

Pros:

- Works (mostly) like it promises to! Was able to play music over LTE/Wifi without my phone after about 30 seconds of setup! Amazing!

Cons:

- Offline download has no feedback. Can't tell if mine is in progress or if it's broken.

- I wouldn't be surprised if Spotify shuts it down.

It's got some quirks, but it's the initial release from a one-person operation. It's frustrating that the official Spotify watch app is getting all the attention when it's just a Connect remote, where Apollo is the streaming/offline playback app everyone is disappointed the official app isn't (yet).

Awesome app! A bit laggy on my series 1 but it's suppose to be so, I think 😄, even though, was able to play music over WIFI without phone and download some playlists for offline use. Well done!

Only available in US app store 🙁
