Ratings and reviews

Maybe it just doesn't like my phone, but this app keeps glitching more lately. My phone is new so it's not the issue. But often when searching songs, it takes a long time to load and even struggles to download if I try deleting and redownloading to fix it (I have plenty of space). I love this app, I just need it to work better.

My experience with this app has been both fun and annoying. The recent addition of annotation on the app feels half-baked because you can't type out anything too long, otherwise, it fades out into nothing. Annotating even three sentences together also causes the issue of the text box being placed far below your keyboard, preventing you from even seeing what you're typing. Another thing of note is the app's seeming incompatibility with Samsung Music. Causing it to not display lyrics or history.

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???
