I originally rated this app 1 star due to frustration but the developer replied with how to fix my issues. Worked perfectly and instantly. I'm a fan now! I tried this app before cancelling my other music service and before purchasing the premium version. I was happy with what I had found however, since I started using this app exclusively, I have found more than a handful of songs that are incorrect. They are not the songs they say they are. There are also songs that are poor quality live versions of songs when they are supposed to be there album version. Lastly, if there are alternate versions of songs that are on extended albums the originals are seemingly all replaced by the alternate versions, e.g. duets and I can't find the original versions. Overall I'm frustrated because I'm constantly worrying whether I'll hear the actual song I want or not.

Sorry to hear that! Lyra pulls from YouTube, and sometimes the auto-matcher picks an alternate version (live, remix, instrumental) instead of the official track.Here's how to fix it: long-press the song → tap the three dots → "Report problem → Wrong audio." That teaches our system to use the correct version next time.You can also search directly for the artist and song to find the right one. Once you pick the correct track, it stays in your library.We're always improving our matching — thanks for your patience!

I love the app but there’s some issues

I’ve been using the app for a couple weeks now and have been mostly happy with it. It has a large library and I haven’t had any issues with finding the songs I like. Though an issue I’ve been having is a song playing the acoustic or live version instead of the original. This can be easily resolved by just changing the source audio but the problem is that the song will change back to the acoustic or live version within half an hour. This has happened with multiple songs multiple times. Its especially annoying for songs that only have one non-remix version that shows up when searching. Another issue I have is when trying to sort songs. You can’t see the titles of songs, only the cover art, which makes it so you have to remember the cover of every song you’re trying to sort. This becomes a more of a problem when trying to sort songs off the same album. The last issue that has been coming up lately is songs not wanting to play. This has been happening more often recently where every other song I click won’t play and I’ll either have to exit out of the app or restart my phone just to get a song to play.I understand that this is a free app and I’m not expecting absolute perfection. I’ve been able to find songs that aren’t available on other apps and that alone is enough for me to keep using it. In the long run these aren’t huge issues and if you’re willing to overlook them then I would still recommend this as a good alternative to the larger music apps.

Thanks for the detailed feedback! The audio source reverting is a known issue — sorry for the hassle. For songs not playing: what device/OS are you on? That helps narrow it down. The sort view showing only art is noted.

Amazing when it works

I’ve been using this app as my main music player for months now and proudly spreading the word about it cause when the app is working as intended, it’s phenomenal! Aside from a few bugs every now and then like music overlapping or long pauses between songs, or certain songs not playing at all, it works well enough 90% of the time, however I’ve been having some issues lately that escalated and now the app isn fully nonfunctional for me. I’ve been getting annoyed with the app lately as it’s pretty distracting to use when I’m driving due to all of the bugs it has. There was a bug I encountered a few times where I would pick a song from my playlist, then nothing would play for a long while, then eventually it would just move back up to the top of the playlist or even just pick a random song from the playlist instead. Sometimes the music would stop playing all together if I slipped too many songs. The other day while showering, I noticed that every song in my liked playlist was slightly off, playing a different audio for the song despite it working perfectly before and picking the right songs. As of yesterday, no songs work anymore at all and the app is nonfunctional. I dearly love this app, appreciate the teams hard work and dedication, and I would hate for it to be passed up on because of these issues so I hope to see them resolved soon!

Thank you for sticking with Lyra and spreading the word — it means a lot. The playback issues you're hitting (loading then jumping/stopping, and songs suddenly not playing) are known and with our team. For the tracks that play the wrong audio, long-press the song → Report a problem → Wrong audio, and it'll re-source it. To help us pin down the total no-play, could you share your iPhone model, iOS version, and Lyra app version (Settings → About)?

Almost perfect app, could be better

The app is almost perfect it’s amazing. Though there’s just one problem that is so annoying. Every time I’m just listening and vibing with my playlist, but then the app just decides to break after like 30 minutes to an hour after using it. The music decides to stop playing, and it usually takes like a couple of hours until the app works again. I’ve done the steps when I reported the problem like deleting the app, resetting my phone. But that doesn’t solve the problem, so I just have to wait a couple hours until the music starts working again, idk why this glitch happens, but overall the app is amazing almost perfect. Just fix the bug where I can’t play any song after 30 ish minutes of listening music. I would rate the app five stars if only the app didn’t decide to break after 30 minutes of use. Today the app actually let me play music for quite longer than usual, until the app just broke again which was sad. Just please fix this bug it’s a bit annoying that the app just doesn’t let me play music anymore after 30 minutes.
