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.

Works well with a good UI. Probably the best app for rap lyrics and meaningful lyrics in general, with commentary, context & some verified content from the artists. 🔸There's no way to make use of the lyrics in other apps (e.g. for karaoke) 🔸Detecting music only works of you've launched genius 🔸It doesn't let you select all the text (lyrics) to copy to clipboard, only 1 section/paragraph at a time (unlike web version)

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.
