If you're only downloading this to look at the lyrics, then it's perfectly passable. However, in almost every way the website is better. With the app, you can't edit the lyrics, titles, or album tracklists or metadata, and it lags. I also didn't see a way to add a song, though I wasn't looking for it. On top of that there's a couple little things, such as the number of views not appearing alongside the songs as you're searching them. It's not terrible, but the website is so much more convenient.

It was good at first, ive been using it for a while. Recently, in the saved songs menu, the songs that i have saved are being shown repetatively. I updated it, thinking it would make the problem stop, but it only made the problem worse. Some songs in my saved, they're just completely blank. It takes a lot of scrolling to get to the bottom, and some songs in particular are a lot more repetative than others. Please fix this, its really annoying, and makes finding lyrics so much harder

This app is pretty terrible. More than 80% of the time it doesn't even identify the song you're listening to, and it doesn't even work when you have the app open. Even well known artists/songs aren't indentified. The app is slow, buggy, and the recently listened to artists don't refresh sometimes, even when done manually. The only upside is that it has the largest and most diverse catalogue of music, making finding almost any artist/song possible.
