The app in its current state deserves one star, but I gave it two just because Genius is so wonderful.when it actually works.How many times do I have to try to tell you Started the app back up, frozen at the home screen, and this time summoning SIRI was no help.įor the past two weeks I’ve wanted to see if there are any good annotations for Deerhunter songs. 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*. 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. Problem is, over the last 2 or 3 updates, it’s become a chore to interact with, frequently freezing on the very first screen. 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. Plus it’s a handy guide to the types of issues that in my case at least could be addressed with reinstallation.

Great when it works, which isn’t now (ok now it is)Īfter 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. Overall the profile tab seems worthless now, but could be better in the future. 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. 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. When you download the app you can sign into a profile like any other app now but in Genius your profile is almost meaningless. It’s a bummer because i can’t find a way to get around it.ģ.

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. 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. 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.Ģ.

But a few things that are really irritating and annoying are:ġ. I love the interface and the way you navigate throughout the app.

Pretty good overall but has some glitches

Please tell me why song lyrics
