Carplay not working
Shows what song is playing on CarPlay but doesn’t change the lyrics as the song goes on
Paywall?
Why would I suddenly start paying when I’ve had this for a year and been able to use it for free?
trash
never works at all. you could spend more time learning the song than trying to get this to work
New update
Am I tripping but now you have to pay to have the lyrics show up?
Don’t buy
Lyrics widget doesn’t work anymore with most recent iOS
Lyrics are always stuck on CarPlay
Lyrics are always frozen on one line. I have continuously refresh it by tapping the screen which is obviously unsafe so I deleted it after not being able to get it to work after troubleshooting. Don’t waste your money.
CARPLAY PAYWALL
The only reason you would download this app is to have the lyrics on CarPlay.they say that the app is free and after you connect your Spotify to test the lyrics on your CarPlay it pop-ups a paywall.USELESS
Decent
new ios update does not work with the new lyrics, it lags a lot but it works sometimes
Trash
Completely unusable on iOS 26.5
Was decent
It worked halfway decent for a while. I really had hoped they would improve on it, maybe they did but they decided to charge for it to work on your lock screen and or CarPlay, it’s a no go for me. Greedy, you can’t offer something for free and then take it away and expect it to go over well.
Waste of Money
This app is the biggest scam! Glitches out too much.
Don’t waste your time
Useless waste of storage. You have to manually refresh the widget every single time the song changes to make the new lyrics appear. Might as well just pull up the lyrics in the music app at that point.
Won’t work
I’ve tried everything and the lyrics just won’t display on CarPlay. “Enable Live Activities to show lyrics on CarPlay”. Everything is enabled already but won’t display.
Good then bad
Used to good when it was free lol
do not download. Costs money
This app isn’t free. Don’t be deceived. Working to get it removed from the Apple Store
Good but finicky
Good but doesn’t work all the time. The main thing is I wish the word could take up the whole screen out be aside the maps as well
基本没用
经常性卡死，不显示歌词，应该是属于屎山代码写的程序，一旦卡住，不管如何切换歌曲都没有用
Not worth it
Doesn’t always work. It will work sometimes and other times it won’t. I refuse to pay for an app that works when it wants to
It was good
At first didn’t need to have on lock screen for it to work, now you have to reset settings each time you use it, in app and on lock screen. Often doesn’t match with speed of song
Terrible now
Lags now when connected to CarPlay, they added the live activities all the time feature and ruined the app.
Not worth $10
Constantly having issues with it loading onto carplay. Stops working randomly then randomly pops up yet it's constantly running in the background drowning my battery. I can use it for MAYBE one song and it'll stop loading the lyrics mid-song. It was working fine before but curiously enough after I paid, I started having problem. Deleted the app, not worth it.
Can’t Cancel
There is no place to “cancel” subscription and sometimes the lyrics won’t refresh. Has a lot of issues that need fixed.
Do not work anymore
It’s not getting the musics anymore
DOESN’T WORK
The lyrics show up on the CarPlay screen, but they don’t scroll, at all. Defeats the purpose. Also they’re really small.
Slow ahh app
The lyrics keeps pausing after every word and I have to refresh it everytime
Doesn’t work well
Doesn’t work well
Doesn’t work
I have a new car, Apple CarPlay, and the widget populates but it ALWAYS lagged or even so behind the song has changed. Constantly having to sign into Spotify. Have had it a week and can’t get it to work once. Also it’s paid to get it on your car.
Not worth it whatsoever
Overall it works, but it’s extremely laggy and lyrics are almost never accurate. Carplay almost never loads and even if it does, the next song is for sure not gonna load. If anything, get rid of the price or at least lower it.
NOT WORTH IT
I purchased the lifetime thing for $9.99 and i want a refund and to cancel the subscription!!! it doesnt work in my car nor my phone!!!! I have email twice in the span of 2 months and havent heard anything because it wont let you cancel it anywhere on the app or app store!!! i am not happy!
Lyrics on CarPlay
They don’t show and keep saying enable live activities even though they are enabled
Was good and now sucks
This app sucks, the lyrics never load, wish I never paid for it
sad
is not working 😒💔
Widget Lyrics Off
Even with maxing out the delay to 5000ms and having premium. Lyrics in CarPlay widgets don’t line up with audio.
bad
glitchy. premium features aren’t premium
Lyrics only show for one song.
Everytime the song changes it wants me to update the live activities settings to get lyrics to show. Half of the time toggling won’t even make them come on.
good until they got greedy
the one reason i downloaded this app was to use it for carplay, and it worked pretty good for this purpose until they decided to make it a payed feature. deleted bc that’s the dumbest thing ever unfortunately
Booo
Needs subscription
Don’t waste your money
Spent 10$ and 30 mins trying to figure this app out for Apple CarPlay just for the lyrics to not update in real time no matter how much trouble shooting I did. Don’t waste your money like I did if you want it for that purpose.
Misleading App
The lyrics never refreshes! What a waste of money!
Not worth the pay
Constantly having to refresh the lyrics, lyrics does not match the audio, even when Live lyrics enabled it still says it’s not
it’s not worth it
this app used to be free. now you have to pay to have lyrics displayed on your carplay. not worth it honestly
What a waste doesn’t work
Paid for the subscription so I could have the lyrics on my CarPlay. They kinda worked at first not much. I figured an update would make it better. It has only gotten worse now I have to allow to have all my data and it still won’t show the lyrics. The lyrics will not update or change to the next song unless you go into the app and keep finishing with it and what’s the point at that point, what a waste of money. Paid in full so can’t get a refund.
Another app, another pay wall
They recently pay walled pretty much the only important feature that this app has which is the live activities. I mainly used it for lyrics in CarPlay. Now I can’t anymore
Very hard to synchronize
Waste of time, very good idea but poorly executed
I WANT REFUND
Such a hassle to use now. It used to be free on CarPlay, but now is a premium feature.
Now I have to complete 2 steps EVERY SINGLE TIME I want to use the feature. I have to toggle live activities to turn on in the app then open up settings and permit live activities for CarPlay.
Thing is, I already have it set to on but the app won’t recognize that it. I have to toggle it in the Settings app EVERY SINGLE TIME.

No use anymore
App was amazing to use at first when everyone first started using it for CarPlay then developers got hungry and made it only a premium app and if you keep the free version you only use lyrics in the app and not on CarPlay, and if you want the widget you don’t even get a large one you get a small pop up that shows one line of the lyric so you won’t even know what’s next
Buggy
Never works without pressing the CarPlay screen. Then flip a coin to see if it continues to work. Usually it does not work. Update after update and no fix.
Not great but could be
It’s a great concept for CarPlay on your dash and has the right parts but it’s not functional. The lyrics continually freeze and need refreshing. The refresh takes a while and lasts only a few verses before it freezes again. I have car WiFi & unlimited 5G on my phone too and live within great cellular service areas so I imagine if you don’t have those things, this app will function even worse. Save yourself some money and just use the lyrics provided through your supported apps like Apple Music or Spotify.
Works 50% of the time WITH PREMIUM
Not worth it - you have to purchase premium to display the lyrics on CarPlay, and even then it comes with a delay and doesn’t work for most songs. Don’t get it yall
Barely Works… When it Works
As the title says, this app barely works. That is, when it’s even working. Maybe 30% of the time, I have zero problems. But, the other 70% of the time, it’s nothing but problems. The lock screen lyrics take several minutes to load, and often times it will error and make you reload them. Then, 90% of songs are out of sync with their lyrics. I’ve even seen quite a few songs with completely different lyrics from a completely different song. If you skip too quickly, the app gets majorly out of sync, playing the last song’s lyrics with your current song. The only reason I’m not giving it a one star is because it’s so cheap, but as the saying goes, you get what you pay for.
