This makes it so I can’t listen to the song while reading lyrics. This is disappointing, annoying, and makes me want to delete the app. ### 2/5 — Great to find lyrics, doesn’t like to be selected *2026-08-14, version 7.13.1* Either on the website or app, the adds are aggravating, the lyrics that are selected jump up and down of the display, and the app keeps lagging. This has to be fixed. ### 3/5 — Needs quality control *2026-07-31, version 7.13.1* People just putting what they think. ### 5/5 — Love this app *2026-07-29, version 7.13.1* Perfect lyrics every time damn near ### 5/5 — Works *2026-07-28, version 7.13.1* Does it's job very well it's super fun checking on lyrics meanings even if you already know what they mean just to see others opinions ### 5/5 — Like no other *2026-07-22, version 7.13.1* The only song lyrics finder I’d use. ### 5/5 — USE THIS APP *2026-07-17, version 7.13.1* i'm absolutely obsessed with this app!!! sooooo helpful for songs i wanna learn!!! ### 2/5 — poo *2026-07-17, version 7.13.1* i was clicking fast and you gave me the review and accidentally hit 2 stars so you get what you get ### 3/5 — Spotify IOS compatibility *2026-07-08, version 7.13.1* Love genius and their app, it’s incredibly helpful and easy to use and I love the community. One major thing that has bugged me for a while though is that when I switched from android to iOS, I could automatically select the song I am listening to anymore. I can if I use Apple Music but on iOS they don’t allow you to enable the feature for Spotify. Would love to see this brought in and I would use the app so much more! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Unusable now *2026-08-25, version 7.14.0* The popup ads that appear when tapping in to a highlighted lyric have are extremely annoying and have broken the app ### 1/5 — Yuck *2026-08-17, version 7.13.1* Ick ### 1/5 — Won't load on iOS 26.5.2 on iPhone 17 *2026-08-11, version 7.13.1* I am running the genius iPhone app on iOS 26.5.2 on iPhone 17 and I can't get past the intro pages (using either "skip" or "next" it always freezes on Taylor Swift screen. ### 1/5 — app does not load *2026-08-10, version 7.13.1* for some reason it never let me go fully in the app, it’s always blank and none of the buttons work.2 ### 1/5 — Death by Ads *2026-08-09, version 7.13.1* Pop up ads break the app, making it not worth using anymore. You tap on highlighted lyrics, a pop up appears, you close the pop up, then you can’t go back to the main song lyrics. You have to close the app and search again. ### 1/5 — Abysmal *2026-08-05, version 7.13.1* For an app that released before I could drive, there has never been a good update. I don’t care about ui I don’t care about ads. The goal of the app is broken, the search function is unusable, the brand itself is stale and depreciating. This idea has great potential but unfortunately I only use this app if I have to. ### 1/5 — Can’t sort way I want *2026-08-03, version 7.13.1* This app is awful. I can’t sort songs by artists by release date the way I can on the desktop version. When I’m on my phone using the desktop version in Safari it often persuades me to use the awful app be throwing ads in my face and occasionally switching to an app version on Safari. I prefer other music databases. ### 1/5 — Loading *2026-08-01, version 7.13.1* Why don’t lyric descriptions load anymore on this app ### 1/5 — Often wrong *2026-07-30, version 7.13.1* Fail ### 1/5 — You can only leave comments on the website *2026-07-25, version 7.13.1* It’s absolutely ridiculous that you can’t leave comments on the app. This is such a basic in fundamental feature that is just ignored. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Amazing app but some customization features would be nice *2026-08-26, version 7.14.0* The app overall is great i have no issues with it whatsoever. Though, I dont really like that profile customization is not an option. Especially since it forces you to keep your google pfp/apple/what you signed in with. My profile pic is Albert/Flamingo but like when he was 12 or smth lol. But unfortunately not everyone knows that so i look like a child. ### 5/5 — Excellent *2026-08-21, version 7.14.0* Backbone of the industry. ### 5/5 — Great *2026-08-20, version 7.14.0* Awesome ### 5/5 — 😄 *2026-08-19, version 7.14.0* Cool that it saves songs with a ❤️ how about adding being able to follow artists? And also saving albums too with a ❤️ ### 5/5 — Genius *2026-08-14, version 7.13.1* I really love this app because they contribute some of the lyrics ### 5/5 — Very pleasant ride with Charles. I felt very safe with his driving. He is a very pleasant man. *2026-08-13, version 7.13.1* Charles made my ride enjoyable. I felt safe with Charle at the helm. Very spacious vehicle, and Charles was a delight to meet and ride with him. ### 5/5 — I love you *2026-08-10, version 7.13.1* This app is perfect, cuz usually I use google and it takes around 5 minutes to find the most accurate lyric but this only takes FIVE MINUTES. I love you Genius (^_^) ### 5/5 — Thanks *2026-08-09, version 7.13.1* Thanks for your help. ### 5/5 — Best lyric app ever *2026-08-08, version 7.13.1* This is amassing or sum ### 5/5 — Super recomendo! *2026-07-29* O GENIUS é o melhor aplicativo de letras completo, com as letras originais e com algumas letras com tradução em português também. Resumindo: completo e perfeito! Recomendo. Baixem. (Observação: falta apenas reconhecer o aplicativo Spotify. Ele só reconhece Apple Music, mas ele é completo). --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
