Ratings and reviews

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.

My experience with this app has been both fun and annoying. The recent addition of annotation on the app feels half-baked because you can't type out anything too long, otherwise, it fades out into nothing. Annotating even three sentences together also causes the issue of the text box being placed far below your keyboard, preventing you from even seeing what you're typing. Another thing of note is the app's seeming incompatibility with Samsung Music. Causing it to not display lyrics or history.

Its a great app. There is just something enriching about following the lyrics of songs that connect to you, it makes the connection stronger. The well thought out annotations and the speculation of what several lines could mean in the comment, gives different angles and perspectives to the songs and its just beautiful really. Now that said, I'm not against ads but I'm not sure if I like those obnoxious little boxes, playing data eating ads in the background. I wish they'd took another approach.
