User Reviews for Genius: Song Lyrics Finder

Almost there!

The app is great, but even when putting certain song titles I get something else, and it gets annoying where I also have to put an artist name right after the title to find the right song, also there should be an option when going to search a song’s lyrics to be a quick select option instead of having to search for it, which could work out great if you have Apple Music connected to the app just like when you change songs within the app it lets your quickly select the songs lyrics I would like that but quick and easy when I open the app it shows the option to pull up the song lyrics easily, besides a few search problems which can be done better and quicker access to lyrics on a currently playing song the app is great but those two things hold it back from getting a 5 star rating from me

Genius is fantastic, but the app needs to stop asking for my iTunes password

i love genius. have loved it for years. i think the site/app is a must for anyone who cares about music & lyrics. however every time i open the app it asks me to sign into iTunes again, prompting me to re-enter my password. it’s been doing that for at least several months, on both my new XR and the 6s i had before that. they really need to fix this, as it is very frustrating. Face ID/Touch ID isn’t an option it seems; i have to type out my password manually every time i launch the app, or it becomes unusable. if i decline, then it hounds me incessantly with the password pop-up. (note to devs: FWIW, my iTunes account is different from my iCloud account. i have 2 accounts on my iPhone, one for iCloud and one older account for iTunes. iOS allows and understands this. it’s a normal - although perhaps not a super common - thing. perhaps that’s the issue... however the genius app is showing the correct account/email address - the one i use for iTunes - in the pop-up prompts, and it does accept my password each time. so maybe that’s not the issue. hard to say). anyway if they could fix this, i would be a much happier user. as it is, it can be a chore to use, if i just want to quickly peak at some lyrics on a whim.

Ripe with problems

Many problems render most of the features completely unusable. Hate to give it a two star but it’s borderline unusable and has been for a long, long time. The app is incredible on the rare occasion of working properly. It succeeds at its basic function of showing you lyrics of a song you want search, with an abundance of songs you may not have even known existed. Extremely large selection of songs with inputs and corrections from artists and users alike. But beyond this it’s provides almost nothing in regards to helping you understand the lyrics. Whenever you click on a lyric hoping to learn of its meaning, nothing happens. This was my most used feature of the app before it just stopped working many months ago. Often I can’t see the credited artists and other people who have worked on a song as that also does nothing when I click on the credits. Also unable to play any song even though I have Apple Music connected to the app, but this isn’t much of a problem as I never use this feature. Hope that these problems are resolved but they’ve been plaguing the app for many months and updates occasionally help but ultimately end up at the same point as always. I’ve tried updating the app and uninstalling multiple times but to no success. Absolutely love the app when it works but it almost never does.

I like it but some annoying issues

If you scroll to fast it simply just returns you to the top of the page. Sometimes you click on a line of lyrics to see the annotation and it displays the annotation for a completely different line. In NWA’s “Gangsta Gangsta”, on the last group of lines at the end of the page, it either fails to completely load a line of lyrics or makes them appear out of nowhere when clicking on a completely different line. These issues have been around on the app for a short while and honestly I thought they would have fixed them by now. I hate to say it, but I think they’re just ignoring these problems and bugs because they seem like minor issues that could be fixed. But the problem is that these minor issues make the app frustrating to use sometimes because they happen so often. Other than those bugs, I think it’s a great app.

Disgusting

This app is a utterly useless it runs incredibly slow takes a second for whatever is on the home/ recommended page to load then only responds to any other commands after that has finished loaded when I search a song and click on it the lyrics take forever to load basically I think it's a necessity of an app but it needs to be faster and I feel as if genius pays too much mind too the videos and all the supplements of the good stuff it has what most people really use it for are lyrics and their corresponding explanation I still have this app because I am hoping an update will fix it but whenever I need to find lyrics and meanings I Google it on the Google app and it loads instantly no lag no delay if the website loads faster and is more functioning than the company's app then there's a problem

Pretty good overall but has some glitches

I love the app. I love the interface and the way you navigate throughout the app. But a few things that are really irritating and annoying are:1. When you watch the videos in the app and you try to flip your device sideways the video will stay in the upright position (even with lock rotation on allowing you to freely move your portrait), which is annoying since the picture is already as small as it is. 2. There is a feature in the app where in a song you can take a picture given to you from the artist or your own picture and take lyrics from a particular song and put it over the picture. It makes for a cool background but every time i want to make one right before i save it to my camera roll the app decides to crash. It’s a bummer because i can’t find a way to get around it. 3. When you download the app you can sign into a profile like any other app now but in Genius your profile is almost meaningless. They make it out like you can personalize your profile based on your style of music, which seems cool, but is not really the case. If you sign into google it takes your google account picture and makes it your profile picture without giving you a way to change it later. Overall the profile tab seems worthless now, but could be better in the future. Great app overall tho, 4.5 / 5.

Love it but it closes itself in the background too quick

Love the app. Overall it is fantastic and super helpful. One major annoyance for me is the fact that the app closes fully when put on the background within maybe 30 seconds. This means I have to tap the search bar and find the song I had up each time I switch apps. Hardly any other apps close fully this quickly so I wish there was a setting for this as it's pretty annoying (as often I switch between apps while using)Also- the search feature should customize based on the genres you listen to most or based off songs you have looked up in your history. Often I type in a rock song and pop or rap songs come up in the first slots which means I have to type more info in. I understand some songs or more popular and should show up first but I think a "smart" search option that learns from its user would be a fantastic addition for those who don't like mainstream music

Problems

I use genius multiple times a day and I think it’s probably the best app for its purpose. There’s just a couple problems I have with it. First problem and the worst is the Apple ID sign in. Every time I get on the app it pulls up the little box to sign into my Apple ID. I’ll sign in and after about 10 minutes it pops up again and it’s not my phone it’s got to be the app. It’s the only one that makes me do it and I’ve tried different devices and deleting it but nothing has fixed the problem. My second problem isn’t as bad as the first. Now I know there are a lot of artists out there but there are a lot of song lyrics and artist that have around one hundred thousand listeners and are missing music on here. Along with the problem of when you search an artist and go to their page there will be duplicates of songs.

Great when it works, which isn’t now (ok now it is)

After the latest update did nothing to fix Genius’s many issues, i deleted and reinstalled the app, and it’s been working quite well since, so I bumped the rating back up, but I’m going to leave my original review in case said problems come back. Plus it’s a handy guide to the types of issues that in my case at least could be addressed with reinstallation. I looooooove Genius, a treasure trove of hidden insights into songs you already love and thought you knew, as well as a portal for discovering new music you haven’t had a chance to love yet. Problem is, over the last 2 or 3 updates, it’s become a chore to interact with, frequently freezing on the very first screen. Today was the first day in ~two weeks that I’ve even been able to get to the search bar, and only then by popping in Siri and then exiting. The app hung with me as I perused four annotations on one song, but when I tried to follow a link to a different song in the fourth annotation, *CRASH*. Started the app back up, frozen at the home screen, and this time summoning SIRI was no help. For the past two weeks I’ve wanted to see if there are any good annotations for Deerhunter songs. The app in its current state deserves one star, but I gave it two just because Genius is so wonderful...when it actually works.

Missing Great Feature and Minor Bug

The app is great overall but there’s a feature that used to exist but was removed for some reason. 1. While playing a song on Apple Music you used to be able to open the genius app and a pop up if the song playing would appear at the bottom of the screen but that’s gone now for some reason. It’s a bummer that you have to search the song now. (Maybe this happened after the addition of the “play on Apple Music” bar but it’s annoying when I’m already listening to the song I’m reading the lyrics too. We can still have both features simultaneously though.)2. The bug is when I’m playing a song and reading the lyrics to it the Genius app stops playing the song once I reach an add. The only way to fix this is to click play on the “play on Apple Music” bar which is aggravating because I was already playing it. This is obviously not a feature but a bug. If I switch to reading a different song then yes I’ll click to play it on the genius app but I’d just prefer if the apps worked together better.
