Festify is a Spotify-powered app designed to liven the party. This Mac app allows everyone to collectively decide on the party playlist. At most parties, music plays in the background, but one person is often in charge of the beats. Not everyone gets a say in the night's playlist. Luckily, Festify changes that by giving everyone the power to help decide. It's an ingenious app that tends to work without a hitch.

Users must first download the app onto their compatible Mac computer. From there, they launch the app and create their own Party. The app then provides the user with a code that they provide to their guests. Guests then log onto a website through their mobile phone with the code and start building a playlist. Within this interface, users select songs for the playlist, and everyone can vote on their preferred selections.

While this process involves a couple steps, party guests won't mind the quick setup. Festify tends to work more often than not. Plus, users shouldn't experience too many bugs or glitches. The app technically remains in beta testing, yet stability doesn't seem to be a major issue. Any current problems reported by regular users seem to be minor, and the development team remains dedicated to improving the entire experience.

Although Festify utilizes Spotify, the app itself is quite unique. Creating a party playlist couldn't be easier, and the app doesn't ask for countless permissions. The fact that mobile users only need to visit a website is nice as well. In the end, building a party playlist doesn't have to be tedious or one-sided. Everyone can have their say in the matter thanks to an app like Festify.
