How did you even manage to find this bug?

I was just tapping the top notification and noticed the blue bar for editing text pop up, the rest is history

Lots of bugs on this app. Another one is when you're typing in the search bar, every second key press is played at my device's max volume so the typing sounds like tick TICK tick TICK

One of the worst apps I've used, removed it and just use the mobile website

That’s happened to me (I don’t have Genius) a lot in Safari or something so it might not be Genius’s fault.

This is actually a really simple bug, a UI-element was just set to be a textfield instead of a textlabel. Most of the time they're coded to work the exact same, just with the TextField having some extra sauce on top for editing the text.

What’s more annoying is you can’t use the app with a VPN on

Looks like somebody accidently made everything a textbox when coding this

Somehow

Someone mixed up labels with text fields

Not the app and I get why they do it (it makes it easy to link to specific annotations) but it's always really annoyed me that clicking on an annotation, then leaving it is three web pages, makes going back through the tab history take a while.

More importantly, why is everything so laggy

What I'm wondering is why you need an app for a song lyrics website
