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?

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!

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

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.

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.

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!

Wish I didn't update, it broke everything. Songs are detected but bring up a blank lyric sheet now. Tried to erase cache and data, and now it doesn't even detect songs, saying it couldn't make out a song that it just detected moments before I wiped cache and data.

Vanessa Villalva May 25, 2017

it keeps crashing ever since the last update. please fix it, because i really find this app useful when i am listening to kpop because i always use it to help understand what is being said and just try and learn the language in general.

Yamyam Lucman May 13, 2017

It's kind of useless yet useful. It kept saying that my device is not connected to the internet. I mean like, really? I'm like connected 24 hours a day to out wifi. Really?

Quentin Harris May 23, 2017

The app constantly crashes ever since the most recent update and now i cant use it at all. Id be happy to improve my rating to 5 stars if i could start using it again.

Alexander Ramnaraine April 26, 2017

Awful. App crashes very often App freezes when going into landscape, must reboot. You cant annotate lyrics, which is a main part of Genius. Identifying music is touch and go Needs more polish

Dipali Purohit May 3, 2017

It's amazing app. It is showning hindi songs also. I am finding this type of app which gives both english and hindi songs lyrics. I loved this app. One thing is that can i change my username in app.? And if yes thrn how can i change it.? Please reply me.

Clayshorn Ollivierre May 22, 2017

The notification stops coming up now wen i use Spotify so it doesn't suggest lyrics anymore. I encountered this when I was using the beta so I have been using the normal version for a while now and it had this feature. Seems like the last update broke it or you guys removed the feature.

Fasahat Hasan May 8, 2017

Your recently played was pretty good. It used to detect songs right away now its all over the place. Shows me a song that i played way back. Fix it please. This is a good app

Indi Nzila April 27, 2017

Before the update 2 days ago I loved this app. It was so very good. After the last update, I keep getting an error message that the app is turning off even though it isn't on. I am so frustrated that I am about to uninstall.

George Lyombo May 18, 2017

After last lastest update now I can't even open it. It crash every time I try to open it

Rin Navia May 12, 2017

It is an amazing app. I had musixmatch before, and it was horrid. I had to waste my data, and not every song I had was there. But here I can have it offline, and with funfacts!

Diachi Steven May 19, 2017

I was using the app on my infinix hot 4,it worked perfectly, Immediately I downloaded it on ma Samsung galaxy alpha unfortunately it stopped had to send a report. It's really annoying cos its my favorite lyric app

Reynal Kouurin May 26, 2017

Can't open it :' don't know why. I really love this app tho. Everytime i open this app, it's crash and close by itself.

Joane Kaith Rusel May 4, 2017

Why won't it open. I tried to download and reinstall it several times. I also freed my memory for more than 1 GB. It still does not work. :(

Lucas Foster April 27, 2017

Would be a great feature to be able to show the lyrics in the Spotify App. Obviously that's possible, otherwise the lyrics suggestion wouldn't. It's not intuitive to switch the app just to watch the lyrics.

Trevell Grant May 11, 2017

Android users are missing the 'Popular Lyrics' feature. We are unable to share lyrics in this way and it is about time we have this feature.

April 26, 2017

I had downloaded the app many times, yet the app would never allow me to open it. If its a good app, I sure won't be able to find out.

michael hodge May 4, 2017

It stopped working after the last update, I used to love it, please fix as soon as possible. I'm leaving it installed so when it does update, I'll know.

MusiK ManiaK May 1, 2017

Ok for the record, I hate this. At least make it good for android samsung instead of always saying genius song lyrics shut down.

Cage McCree May 2, 2017

It crashes every time I open it, I've tried uninstalling it and re-installing it, it didn't work. I tried restarting my phone, I didn't work. Nothing works

Samarth Singh May 21, 2017

This is the perfect app. Ten times better than musixmatch just because its free and easier to use. Please introduce batch searches or make an option to download the current playing song automatically. Also an option to back up lyrics to mail/genius account would be awesome so that I can get all my lyrics across all my devices wherever i am (multi device sync).

Abey Bawe May 22, 2017

The app is great for lyrics but the software needs updates. It lags a LOT. We should be able to search our saved list OFFLINE. And put more options etc....

Bojan Jovic May 18, 2017

I've used this app for some time and it was great, i had all the lyrics i needed, but at one point it just stopped working, i try to open it and it just says Genius has stopped working. I tried reinstalling a couple of times, but it didn't help, i dont know why this happened and i would like to know if someone can help!

Yuuri Kiseki May 25, 2017

I love the app but after updating it, it force stopped. Whenever I try to open it again, same thing happens. Please do something about this matter.

Andrew Wilson April 26, 2017

Completely stopped working with this update. Everytime I try to open it an error message says it crashed. Plz fix.

Ethan Hartel May 5, 2017

I love the app, but since the latest update I keep getting "Unfortunately, Genius has stopped." immediately whenever I open the app. Please fix this so I can use the amazing service that Genius is.

Sudhir K Thapliyal May 20, 2017

Thanx for developer for this Good idea. Best app. But icon is dull and video size be wide a little bit. Also, there should be option to save video.

Shahzad Mukhtar May 4, 2017
