As much as I appreciate this app, in order to have the Lyric Suggestions, you have to give the app WAY too many permissions, including, but not limited to: "contact names and text of messages you receive," "dismiss notifications or take action on buttons in notifications, including answering phone calls" and more. I'm not giving an app all of this just to not have to look up song names

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.

Great app for finding lyrics & learning the meanings behind them. I do have a small issue with the Suggest Genius Lyrics feature. For example, Taylor Swift has rerecorded some of her albums, & these are labeled as Taylor's Version. When I play a song like Style (Taylor's Version), the app suggests lyrics from the older, original version instead. It seems like the app doesn’t fully recognize songs with parentheses in the title. I hope this gets improved because the rest of the app is excellent.

Thanks for your review! We did it like this because on platforms like YouTube, songs frequently have suffixes like "(Official Music Video)", which causes issues when trying to match with a Genius song page. To prevent this, we try to strip out anything in parenthesis. It's a trade-off, but in most cases it makes the end result more accurate.
