I like Genius as a platform, but I think the Android app is very buggy. It regularly freezes while performing normal tasks, like viewing an annotation and returning back to the lyrics, or it just doesn't load in the page content at all, even though my internet connection is fine. I also don't like that the app has way less functionality than the desktop web version, especially for people that transcribe and annotate. Opening a notification from an email link is not possible for instance.

Been using the website for a while so I was surprised when I saw an app for it. The reviews were great, but one thing I am annoyed with is the "sign up". I'm stuck, I can't create a username befitting the app. At first it says that it can only contain some certain characters, then after recreating the username it says it must look like an email? The username? After changing it for a while it ends with "OOPS SOMETHING IS WRONG". So I just skipped the sign up.

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???
