What just happened? It appears that you've added a very nice feature to allow users to play their Favorites either in order or shuffled. Well, shuffled doesn't work correctly on my Samsung Galaxy S9. It plays the first song correctly, but then plays about a half-second of all subsequent songs, rendering it completely useless. Please fix immediately, and I'll readjust my ratings back to 5 stars!

Great for automatically detecting or manually searching for songs, albums, artists, lyrics, and all sorts of info about all of the above. LiveLyrics is an awesome feature that acts like a "karaoke mode", highlighting the current line being sung, as a detected song plays. It used to offer a fullscreen, landscape mode in LiveLyrics. I took off one star, as landscape mode seems to have been replaced with an option to make the text bigger in portrait mode. Bring back landscape get your star back!

This was a phenomenal app 7 or 8 years ago when I first started using it, but a few updates ago it started logging me out every time I exit the app. The app and widget are both useless if not signed in because it keeps throwing error messages when IDing songs, and by the time I get signed in again the song is usually done. When it works, it's great, the hard part is just getting it to work.
