Pros and cons of Instalyrics app for iPhone and iPad

Instalyrics app good for

I used to have Siri love lyrics but now its no longer supported. This app is better and quicker. I love this app.
Yes I could do a google search and get the same results, but this saves the effort. There are only 2 things that would make this better. 1 if the lyric sites on the Internet were perfect, which theyre not. So I dont blame the app. 2 if it could somehow plug into the iPod/iPhone music player so I wouldnt have to switch between the player and app. Apple would never allow this. So I dont blame the app for that either. It does exactly what Id expect and for that, Im happy.
Other than the lyrics being opened in a browser window, the app is great
Its fast, perfect. You get the lyrics before the first line is sung. Well done. Well said. Word.
Installyrics allows you to easily retrieve lyrics for all your favorite songs. It is good for all ages. I should know! I am nine years old, I like it.So does my dad!
A good source. Easy way, finding the words to songs. Remember copy rite,. Unless the artist has approved the actual release. One, or several words may be incorrect. Complement it,with the audio sound track.

Some bad moments

Sticking to Shazam even though its a few more clicks to get lyrics. Unlike this, true "music ID" type apps can listen to music from any background source on the device, such as Slacker, Songza etc. Instalyrics treats all those as "nothing playing" and will only give you results from the native Music app. Oh well, was a nice thought.
The lyrics should be available inside the app. Otherwise, i could call it "a simple google search app".
App takes me to sites that do not contain lyrics for the songs I search for. Out of all the songs I searched for, it only displayed lyrics for one song correctly
Is it really so difficult to make it show the lyrics inside the app? Before that its just another search machine.
I purchased this app had great reviews purchased it for both iMac iPad iPhone wrote for support just get back a form letter saying there may be to much traffic or I should check updates Got to buy at least one loser
The songs I searched with it just pulled up pages for the download of the song and never actually found any lyrics. The songs it could get lyrics for arent hard, all it would take you is 2 minutes of searching yourself. Not worth the money.
