It was in early March when Spotify officially announced that users who made use of a pirated APK of Spotify would be banned for life from the aforementioned music service. As a result of this news, thousands of users have decided to contract a premium subscription to avoid this same cancellation of the service. However, to this day there are still pirated applications that, in addition to allowing us to play music without any type of limit, promise us its validity and operation even after the announcement of the company.
At your expert we have dared to install one of these pirated Spotify APKs and its operation has surprised us with respect to its paid homonym and the free version, which has recently been updated.
Do pirated Spotify APKs work in 2018?
The eternal question: will I be able to use pirated Spotify in 2018? As we have just mentioned, in your expert we have done the test for a little over three months and the answer is very clear: yes, and without any kind of limit. Like the premium version, we do not have limits when it comes to playing music or listening to long-distance playlists. Of course, we do not have advertising either, either visually or through radio spots.
Regarding the application interface, it is still based on one of the latest versions of Spotify Free; specifically the one prior to March of this year. However, we can practically enjoy the latest developments implemented in the famous music service. What we will not be able to do is download the songs to listen to them later without connection, after all it is still a modified version of the free application.
Will I get banned if I install one of these pirated APKs on Android?
The main concern of most users of the application is whether they will be banned from the service after using a pirated APK from Spotify. The answer in this case, as in the previous one, is very clear: we will not be expelled from the application.
Under our tests during the last three months with an email and an account with false data, we have not received at any time any email that alerts us to the misuse of the service. The functions of the application for Android, iOS or Windows / Mac have not been cut either, so we should not have problems regarding the validity of the service.
Do you recommend installing a modified version of Spotify?
This question should always be valued personally. Currently the Spotify application offers several plans that allow us to contract a subscription for just under 3 euros per month if we take advantage of the Family Plan or less than 6 if we are students. In our opinion, we do not recommend installing one of these applications. Although in our case we have not been penalized during these three months, the massive use of these versions could result in a new notice by the company. If you finally decide to install a pirated APK, we recommend creating a new account with data that does not correspond to your person.
