- (2024-05-01) magic yisus: Le falta identificar la canción en automatico y seguirla y dejar modificar cosas como el tamaño y tipo de fuente, pero en general encuentra la mitad de las letras a la mitad de velocidad asi que está gud
- (2024-01-21) Ethan Reddekopp: 90% of the time it shows lyrics from a completely different song. Sometimes it shows the correct artist, but it's almost always the wrong song. For example, today I was listening to Kingslayer by Bring Me The Horizon, and the first set of lyrics it showed was Roxanne by Police, then 3 other incorrect songs, and then it said "cannot find the lyrics for this song." You'd think since it's searching 75 sources by the title of the current song, it would display the correct lyrics 100% of the time, but what do I know. 🤷♂️
- (2023-09-03) Mayank Singh: @author please add music source for youtube music : https://music.youtube.com/ Thank you <3
- (2023-06-14) le Crow: i'll give you a 2 because it needs to be better. the most annoying feature is the search bar being at the bottom. Many videos on YouTube are named incorrectly and so you have to manually look them up. but the search bar won't allow you to search until it has tried to find the video in ever single source you have enabled. This can get quite tiresome. Just move the search bar to the top and/ or add a secondary search bar that is not affected by the sources searching. That is my opinion. If not for that issue I would probably give a 4 star rating.
- (2023-05-16) Chris Vydas: It's worse now. "Permission not granted'i is all this useless extension is capable of
- (2023-05-11) Lucas Albuquerque: works perfectly
- (2023-04-11) Rajesh Shrestha: Great Extension. Works really well. Thanks to all the developers who made this. And also can you guys please center the lyrics position while displaying, it would look great and easy to read!!! Hope you guys will fix this issue soon. Again 5 stars guys!!!
- (2023-02-05) Daniel Rem.: Does not work!
- (2022-10-08) silvia benjamim: A EXTENSÃO NÃO FUNCIONA MAIS!!
- (2022-09-07) José A.: Funciona bien; justo lo que buscaba, ahora no tengo que abrir otra pestaña y escribir todo el nombre de la cancion para ver las letras
- (2022-08-11) Erin: Love the way it works but it is not auto detecting for Spotify Web Player. Also JUST SEARCHING isn't even working let alone auto detect... probably one star is more appropriate but I'm hoping it is user error. I read the entire guide provided and changed settings. Oh well... hope the creator can and will address this
- (2022-07-25) William Silva: Só funciona quando quer, têm que ficar pesquisando manualmente o nome da música e autor de várias maneiras diferente até a ferramenta conseguir achar
- (2022-06-09) Alexander Popov (AlexWayfer): Seems it doesn't work on music dot youtube dot com.
- (2022-06-03) Sagar Soni: Exactly what I was looking for! I think automatically highlighting the current line of the song could work since extensions can inject a script and fect current timing from YT player. It would be like Musixmatch for Chrome
- (2022-05-31) Alcume Zuke: please and thank you allow this to work with this website: youtube-playlist-randomizer(dot)bitbucket(dot)io
- (2022-05-15) Leonardo Trindade: Awesome extension, but I would like it a lot more if it worked on Youtube Music besides normal Youtube, congrats!
- (2022-05-01) Bragi Odinsen: The absolute best extension for displaying lyrics reliably and conveniently from youtube. Great for language learners.
- (2022-04-03) WigglyWings: Best extension for lyrics so far. PS pls remove this site "www.ixquick.eu" keeps freaking out about it.
- (2022-03-26) Relmon: Best extension on it's topic.
- (2022-03-10) Chris Vydas: The configuration page is glitchy can't enable any sites in the top list, they only switch to off and can't be turned back on again. The grant all button is nonresponsive.
- (2022-02-27) Miguel Beltran Altamirano: Pensé que no se iba acomodar o que iba a estorbar, pero no, puedo ver las letras y no empalma mi lista de canciones.
- (2022-02-17) Blitx: It used to work But now it just won't show lyrics via for example Genius, it shows "lyrics not find", but if I go to Genius site lyrics are there. Manual search doesn't work either.
- (2022-02-14) GianZ73: Used to be great, but on MS Edge many setup options won't work. Only 6 lyrics sources are active and oftentimes deliver wrong or very limited results. Hope it will be fixed.
- (2022-02-14) Iliasdouk06: Always finds the wrong song
- (2022-01-23) tagout rida: I tried different extensions for lyrics, and this one is the best ! 100% recommended
- (2022-01-02) Ruby IsRight: Awesome, all I needed ♥
- (2022-01-01) Paka14: it won't show lyrics anymore
- (2021-11-16) Ryan M: The automatic searching isn't working for me for spotify. I have my configuration like so https://imgur.com/a/b6h8For I can manually search but it would be killer if it searched right when I hit play on a song like advertised. Any advice?
- (2021-08-26) Aleksey Yatskiv: doesn't work with spotify web
- (2021-08-26) DAMLS: Really useful application, matches lyrics in 98% cases correctly, if not after choosing different source of data lyrics are ok - it probably depends on how the title - artist pair is written and what kind of additional information is provided. My rate is 5/5 <3.
- (2021-08-21) Alvaro Eduardo: 1 Agregar una pestaña de minimizaciòn 2 cambio de tamaño, estilo de fuente (no color, sobretodo tamaño para mejor accesibilidad) ▲▲
- (2021-08-13) Nikola Malešević: Does not work for Spotify (I enabled Spotify in settings). Also does not work in Firefox. Too bad. It used to work perfectly in the past.
- (2021-08-08) Himanshu Khanna: Man this is the extension I needed I downloaded like 10+ extensions none were able to find the Hindi music I was trying finally found that works for multiple languages best lyrics extension i could find i dont know why i couldnt find this when i searched it inside the chrome extension browser search but found it in google search, Anyways thankyou loved the extension
- (2021-06-30) DarkYuan: It's an amazing Youtube lyrics finder, and the customizable search engine list is very robust. I do wish I could put the button somewhere else on the site though, like in the video description.
- (2021-06-17) Angel ique: The extension worked great, been using it for years. Only the last couple of months it won't show the lyrics on Spotify, which is a real bummer! Hope this can be fixed soon! it still works on YT though
- (2021-05-28) Takayuki Mori: I tried totally about 20 lyrics extensions for "Chromium Based Browser"s over, until Today, "May 28th,2021". At the present, This Lyrics Extension is the best customizable one, from my point of view. This extension has "Option", "Where do you want to see lyrics?". There is the Older "Google Music"(now Out of Date) but no Newer "YouTube Music". So, I really hope the developer up-to-date this extension for Today's Use. No need to say, this extension still almost perfectly works with "YouTube (Movie)". Thanks. Rob.
- (2021-05-25) Roger Llovet Majó: Is it working for Spotify web player? It does for youtube, but no in Spotify, the windows shows but it is not automatically showing, i need to search manually.
- (2021-04-28) Moxis: Does not work at all on Spotify Web Player, neither in Chrome or Firefox
- (2021-04-26) Jaime Callejón Bejarano: Please add https://open.spotify.com/ you only track play.spotify.com
- (2021-04-10) Jasper: it doesn't work with youtube music!!!!!
- (2021-04-01) Андрей Плеханов: Шикарное расширение. Показывает лирику да же если нет субтитров к видео.
- (2021-03-23) Gökhan Koyuncu: Will there be support for Youtube Music? Some songs don't have lyrics and it could work great with title artist name properly.
- (2021-03-21) Sunny Sherman: Its great! Could you try to implement a feature to try to detect the artist of the song to increase accuracy?
- (2021-03-13) Redwood: Remove this extension from the store.
- (2021-02-11) Pinasti W Adhitama: Works really well Pls add support for music.apple.com
