Genius — Song Lyrics & More 1.2.0
One of such applications is Genius — Song Lyrics & More. It's packed with all sort of features and tools that you can use in order to detect song lyrics and get explanations for them. Think of it as Shazam focused on lyrics, but it has some stability issues and it needs more work.
Easy-to-use UI with lots of tools at hand
The app launches with a nice tutorial presenting new users with all the neat features and tools that they can find inside the app. The first thing that you need to do inside the app is to register with an account.
You can only use your email address and the app has some trouble with registering new users, so don't expect it to work every time. It comes with material design and a side menu that provides users with quick access to all sort of sections.
Find all sort of lyrics
It opens with a list of the recently searched lyrics, so you can check out what's trending on the network. There's a search bar at the top of the screen, use it to type in the name of songs and artists in order to find lyrics.
There's also a feature that detects music playing in the background and it displays lyrics on the home page. It comes with a link to the video, but that doesn't work all the time and the app sometimes fails to detect a song no matter how many times you try even though it is on the network.
Some more features
It takes a while to load, so you'll have to be patient with that, but once it detects lyrics you can tap on them to get more explanations and truly understand what the song is about.
Although it has a settings menu, the app doesn't really have any changes that you can make to its interface or features, so don't expect much. It lacks a history of searched songs and it could use some more tools, like the option to display lyrics when the video is playing.

Bottom Line
Design / UI8
The interface is nice, but it could use some more tools and customization options, like an additional dark theme. |
Function6
It has trouble finding lyrics, loading, registering new users and even playing videos, so it does need improvements. |
Security8
It needs access to some areas of your phone, but they're connected to its features so you don't need to worry. |
Battery7
Consumption is quite moderate, but keep an eye on resources when using this app as it may contribute to your battery drainage. |
Price10
It doesn't come with any ads or in-app purchases, which is quite nice. |
Compatibility7
The app should work on devices running Android version 4.1 or later, making it available to many users. |
It needs some improvements in stability, but otherwise it's a good idea.
