A very simple app that skips songs that Spotify has marked explicit, since that feature is confusingly absent, despite people asking for it. The app works simply, by listening to Spotify's Device Broadcasts. When a song starts playing, it looks up its information in Spotify's catalog. If it's marked explicit, it emulates pressing the "next" button on a media controller. This can help if you like listening to radio or top 40 playlists around your kids.There is some lag between when a song starts
and when Skiplicit can skip it while it gets track information. If your data connection is bad, this lag can be quite long, but the explicitness of recently played songs is cached to make the lookup faster. Depending on how long this lag is, and how Spotify sends message, it can cause multiple "skip" events in a row.Note that you need to turn on "Device Broadcast Status" in your Spotify app's settings.
