A music visualizer is a program or application that generates shapes and colors according to music on your cell phone or computer screen. In this article, we gathered the best visualizers for Spotify.
What are the best visualizers for Spotify mobile app?
Spectrum
Spectrum - Music Visualizer is a mobile app that shows you psychedelic images according to the sound and plays them on the screen of your device.
The app is easy to use. Once installed you simply open Spectrum, then play music on Spotify. When you return to Spectrum you will see that the images have been generated. You can also set it as your locked wallpaper.
You can create certain filters for viewing. There is a free version and a paid version which gives more viewing options and also does not show advertising or the watermark with the name of the program on the images.
This last detail is relevant especially when we consider that one of Spectrum's strong points is that it allows you to record. That is, there is an option within the application to make videos including the sound it plays and the images that are produced from it. Later you can share it with your contacts.
You can download the app from the Google Play Store here.
