I really like the concept of the platform, however, the app does not work well. I have issues with it crashing frequently. It also almost never actually shows the lyrics for whatever I'm currently listening to. And that is like the only thing that drew me to the app over the browser site in the first place. plus you have to go to the browser site for a lot of edits anyways.

pretty annoying and extremely laggy. lyrics are fine thats not the issue, the issue is that it doesnt ever connect to my music app consistently. it'll do it for about 5 songs and then turn off and not come back until i turn it off and on again. its not youtube music messing up or the song not being on genius, genius is just not a very good app.

It USED to be good. Garbage now. You'll just end up frustrated. It really struggles to recognize songs, and when it does, it doesn't give you the lyrics. It shows you the name of the artist and tons of other useless things related to them. Absolute waste of time and garbage.
