Ratings and reviews

I liked that the previous version had a search function for your saved songs. also saved songs are now in a seemingly random order instead of being ordered from oldest to newest saved edit to reply: thank you for your reply. Regarding song order. When going into saved songs, the songs that had been saved first would be at the bottom of the list and the most recently saved songs would be at the top. Now they've been reordered, and the new order seems to have no rhythm or reason.

EDIT: As of 12/19/25 rating raised from three stars up to five stars now. Just checking out some of the songs on my list and decided to try the music video button again to see if it was fixed since I noticed it was a new icon. To my surprise it actually worked and a video came up and started playing! I quickly picked another song and tried again and once again it worked perfectly! I want to say thank you to the devs and to anyone else involved that worked on fixing the problem!! Thank you!!!

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???
