Great application over all, but when I switched to a Pixel from the Nexus 6, I lost the ability to have notifications show up for songs playing on the device. Tried disabling and re-enabling, as well as reinstalling a few times without luck.

Ok, this app is really good for lyrics and finding the meaning and all that but it freezes almost every time I open it. It's brutal

Cinder Feliz

The best app ever. But, it's quite confusing how to increase iq if I'm a newbie

auq na

Cant read the album descriptions when on an album page. It wont let me maximize the description.

This app is always freezing or crashing and it's pretty annoying when you're trying to listen to a song and read the lyrics but genius is frozen on the homepage for 10 minutes

Okay, honestly, I wish I knew about this app sooner, it detects the song you are currently listening to (without having to listen to it like shazam does) and gives you the alert to read along with the lyrics. Freaking dope.

siamak shahbazi July 17, 2017

I had this app before.... but now it doesn't open in my phone and your company doesn't answer my feedback

Matheus Paulino July 17, 2017

working perfectly now, thanks ♡

I like it but can you guys make verified videos with more artists and more deconstructed with hit songs.

Van Seu July 15, 2017

Hahahahha happy writing notes the song

Bonee Thiyam July 19, 2017

Need annotation facility.

Haidar Adi July 15, 2017

The best app for music lyrics

Joshua MacLeod July 20, 2017

It's good overall, but oftentimes, the application will freeze.

July 17, 2017

I use it all the time and it's more efficient then going on the website. I highly recommend

Sylvester Pereira July 17, 2017

Amazing app for learning about the deeper meaning behind stuff!

Natalio Solis July 18, 2017

Awesome

aaron king July 8, 2017

Every time I look up the lyrics of a longer song sometimes the app crashes as its loading the search results and sometimes it crashes during me scrolling the lyrics....this app is amazing but it crashes way too much

Drew Keller May 12, 2017

The most useful feature this app HAD was that it could detect the song you were playing and suggest lyrics on the app's main screen. You also had the additional option to have it suggest lyrics in your notification shade. I like the option to have the main screen suggest lyrics without the notification to prevent clutter, but this option appears to have been removed for some reason, and you have to have the persistent notification. Why? The option was there before and has now been arbitrarily removed. Am I missing something?

David Demianovich June 29, 2017

Really like the app, but the ads with audio/video will actually pause the song playing on your phone. This is a deal breaker for me. I use Google Play Music so I can't speak for other music player apps. Would gladly pay for an ad-free version. Until that time comes I'll have to use something else.

Yamkela Kutu May 12, 2017

I love the app. Especially the fact that it combines Shazam features and enhances them with its added feature list. However, one thing I found in the latest update is that once you've updated, all the lyrics you saved for viewing offline are discarded. If that could be fixed, I would give it 5 star

April 29, 2017

I can now watch videos, listen, n read the wealth of knowledge that is rap genius...for free, exactly how it should be. To charge would discredit rap genius from being a "for the people" type organization, in my opinion . Especially since music lovers, run, and thrive off of passion not making money. Thx, i love all my people rap genius for their hard work!

Adam Droge June 5, 2017

I love this app! But it broke in the latest update. I can't even open it and the screen where it says Genius stopped working keeps popping up and screwing up whatever app I have open. Fix this and I'll gladly change my score, because right now it's so bad I have to uninstall it.

Jack Keane June 28, 2017

For years I have loved genius, by far the best lyric site out. But recently on the app it freezes quite frequently especially when I switch over to Spotify and back to genius. This has been going on for a while for me and I am using the app with a brand new device. Please fix or help me out and I'll rate 5 stars thanks. Also would be really helpful if we could annotate from the app.

Knew Genius from the browser version, always used it so wanted to give it a go on my cell. Installed it and crashed as soon as I was trying to open the app. Reinstalled, kept on crashing. Needless to say, but I'm still going to say it; worthless.

Doo-Wop Wop-Doo May 8, 2017

It's genius! But flawed. The song identifier is really dismal as it takes a long time for the song to be identified. There is no "songs identified" history page to look back too. If I wanted to find a song played on the radio a few hours before, it's gone.

Lia Ristiana July 1, 2017

I have sent feedback to complain numerous times, but no response. It always closes itself every time I open the app. I won't change my rating until there is a new update and the problem has been fixed.

Dan Leary June 22, 2017

I love the content but you guys need to fix this app. It crashes all the time. Other times scrolling through lyrics gets buggy and I'm unable to scroll back to the top. I report these crashes but still no fix?

Gamer with no Life June 18, 2017

I don't know why, but ever since I reinstalled this app, I can't use it anymore. Everytime I open it, it says "Unfortunately, Genius has stopped" and closes itself again. I tried restarting already and nothing works still. I would say: "please fix this", but I honestly think it's really just because of my phone.

Yair Gordon May 10, 2017

I loved it... until a recent update, which erased all my saved songs! 🙁 This is a real shame. I would otherwise give it a higher rating. Search works well. YouTube play hasn't worked well for me, but it's a neat feature when it works. Please fix an otherwise awesome app!

Iris Staalman June 20, 2017

Love this app, but it has been crashing ever since the latest update. Won't open, and keeps giving the crash notification whenever a new song comes on. Had to uninstall but really hoping the issue will get fixed. It's a great app otherwise! Edit: tried installing again... same problems remain. Please fix! I miss the app a lot

Delilah Ruth May 29, 2017

This app gives the best song lyrics and you can see what the lyrics mean with just one tap instead of searching all over. I also love how it shows which artist has what parts. Another thing that's amazing is that it connects with my Spotify so whatever I listen to on Spotify I can easily get the full lyrics with just one tap. AMAZINGGGGG!!

HUNHAN BIASED June 2, 2017

I have great experience using this one. I test this app to search lyrics for foreign song (korean and chinese) and it's great because they show up the original lyric (hangul,hanja), romanization, and english sub though some of them just romanization and eng sub

Most important app of our generation. music journalism and criticism meets lyrics website and forum for interpretation and discussion. this arena made available for free. this community hears you, listens, confirms, and becons. walls tumble. awareness, and therefore wisdom, arise. poetry and noise close the gulfs between us finally, not in theory, but in practice. this is it.
