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!!

If you're only downloading this to look at the lyrics, then it's perfectly passable. However, in almost every way the website is better. With the app, you can't edit the lyrics, titles, or album tracklists or metadata, and it lags. I also didn't see a way to add a song, though I wasn't looking for it. On top of that there's a couple little things, such as the number of views not appearing alongside the songs as you're searching them. It's not terrible, but the website is so much more convenient.
