I totally get that devs have got mouths to feed, just like everyone else. I use Genius multiple times daily, I WANT Genius to make money so it can continue to be a fun & useful tool to supplement my listening habits. ...but not offering users a premium ad-free version ,made accessible by a one-time payment or subscription plan, is straight garbage. The format of the ads, specifically, makes it even worse. The video ads hijack my audio, so the song I’m listening to... the one & only reason I’m opening Genius for in the first place... gets paused/muted until the 30 second ad is finished. I mean, if Genius absolutely has to keep the ads (you don’t), at least make it so they don’t interrupt my music by automatically playing with the audio on. Or even if they could be skipped after “X” amount of seconds, a la YouTube, it’d be a slight improvement. But I’d honestly much prefer to pay a fee and not have to deal with the headache. Spotify sends me a monthly bill so I don’t have to listen to ads. But if I decide to look up a song from my Spotify library on Genius and am confronted with advertisements, you’ve not only ruined the user experience on Genius, but you’ve rendered my monthly Spotify Premium payments obsolete as well. It seems pretty clear to me that the only solution to mitigating my frustration with the ads would be to continue listening to Spotify Premium, but finding an alternative app to substitute for Genius. I’m telling you right now that I would pay to continue using Genius ad-free. PLEASE get this straightened out right away. I can’t promise you that I would return to Genius after deleting the app and moving on to something else.

Glitchest waste of patience, it’s spazzes out, makes phone hot and kills my battery Plus the adds and news articles are stupider than heck I’d rather watch some 15 sec Homescapes adds than deal with anything other than what this app is for

Fix the app to stop crashing! Literally slows my phone down, lyrics won’t load, it’ll skip the music and randomly pause it, constantly shuts out the app and refuses to reopen.

App is poorly made, always crashes on me and now there are pop-up ads in this app. Just use safari genius.com

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.
Hey that's purty gewd
The lyrics thing that you can send through messages is just blank, it doesn’t show anything even after the latest update.

Sometimes it loads comments, sometimes pinwheels extensively. Seems to degrade after repeated use so I have to restart the app every 20 min or so. But reading hamlet with genius is great, please make your app reliable!

I Love the app it’s always help me learn the lyrics to my favorite songs. Only problem is that in iMessage it doesn’t let me open the app to share lyrics with people, it’s keeps saying unable to open Genius. Would love to see this fixed ??♂️??
