Denied for Android

I’m a design teacher and love to play Spotify in my classroom when students are working independently. Denied allows me to play those playlists I used to have to bypass due to the multiple titles with explicit content.

I can finally skip all of the christian rock music that Spotify is so intent on playing! I built a list of over 1,000 christian artists based on Spotify playlists and Wikipedia. The import feature in Denied reads in JSON, I converted my list to the right format and ran the import. It’s working perfectly! My devil worshipping can continue uninterrupted now! Skipping recently played songs is a big plus, I didn’t realize how often the same songs were repeated. I’ve found so many new artists and songs because of this feature! If I leave Spotify up on my desktop and start playing it on my phone the app on the computer still continues to skip repeats and blocked artists/songs. A big thank you to the developers for producing an incredibly useful app!

This is a must have add on to Spotify. Shame on Spotify for not implementing these features themselves. Setting a time that you don’t want to hear a repeat song is an awesome feature since Spotify can’t seem to make a decent shuffle algorithm.

Users have been asking Spotify for the option to exclude songs with “Explicit" tags since 2012! After 5 years it appears that this will never be implemented in their code. I’m glad to have found this app, which accomplishes this easily and affordably. Thank you!

This app is so good it should be integrated into Spotify itself. If you listen to public playlists and are tired of that one song that just keeps playing all the time — get Denied. You can also save your ears from Justin Bieber & Co. Worth every penny!
