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.

I live in this goddamn app. my residence is the most desolate corners this app. Well- As for security, I got my account deactivated the first time I put a annotation in. functionally, you can't edit metadata on the mobile app. along with the "my music/library" section being difficult to navigate and a bit strange- It's still one of the best things I've found on my journey through the internet.

Hi Yui, we have already added the search feature to the My Music section, improving the navigation. Just update to the latest version and check it out.

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???
