Ratings and reviews

My initial experience with this app was weird with a barrage of notifications, and I un-installed. But after trying some other apps, I decided to give it another chance. It seems to be working now, and I plan to continue to use it. My wish would be that it could highlight the current line and follow along like karaoke, but I'm pretty happy that it identifies my currently streaming song and loads the lyrics quickly. But why do I need a username???

Great app, hands down the best lyrics software I've ever used, although I did prefer when on the website there was a drop down menu for translations and romanizations as opposed to on the app where you have to search the language for translation or add "romanized" to the end of your search or they won't show up, which took me a long time to figure out. Overall, great, though!!

The search is frustrating af. Like, if I search for something and tap on "show more songs", I expect to see songs with titles that actually match my search. For example, if I enter "Awaken" in the search bar and press "show more songs", I get a bunch of songs by NLE Choppa instead of, you know, songs with "Awaken" in the title. Another example is searching "Pluto" and getting songs by Future as results
