My experience with this app has been both fun and annoying. The recent addition of annotation on the app feels half-baked because you can't type out anything too long, otherwise, it fades out into nothing. Annotating even three sentences together also causes the issue of the text box being placed far below your keyboard, preventing you from even seeing what you're typing. Another thing of note is the app's seeming incompatibility with Samsung Music. Causing it to not display lyrics or history.

I love this app and the lyrics are 99% of the time top quality! What I find annoying though, is how sometimes the app hangs (loading indefinitely) at random. You search for the song, results come up almost instantly, you select the song to open the lyrics and you see the template loading and loading. No reset of the app or phone works, changing the internet connection type makes no difference. It all points to the host not responding. It happens around 10% of the time.

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.
