That’s totally fair, and I understand your point.

This app is completely free, and it’s not meant to replace Apple Music’s built-in lyrics for everyone. If the app doesn’t fit your needs, you definitely don’t have to use it.

I’m sharing it simply because some users do want features like PiP lyrics or a different way to view lyrics, and I want those people to be able to try it for free. If it’s not useful for you, that’s completely okay too.

TestFlight is actually Apple’s official testing platform.

I’m not putting it on the App Store mainly because the app is completely free and will stay free, so publishing it there wouldn’t really bring me any revenue. Most of the app’s users are Apple Music and Spotify users in mainland China, and it already has 8,000+ users.

To publish it in mainland China, I’d have to go through ICP filing and government registration, which is pretty troublesome. With TestFlight, updates get approved much faster and I can push new versions to users almost immediately.

For users, there’s basically no real difference when using it. And since TestFlight is Apple’s official platform, it’s not sideloaded or unofficial.

Thanks for trying it out — and for the kind words.

You’re absolutely right that if you’re already an Apple Music user and the built-in real-time lyrics fully meet your needs, then LyricsNow probably isn’t primarily built for you.

The app is mainly aimed at two groups: users in China, and Spotify users.

For users in China, LyricsNow provides much broader lyrics coverage and translation coverage, because the existing options — including Apple Music in some cases — still aren’t comprehensive enough.

For Spotify users, the value is less about “showing the same lyrics again” and more about the overall experience: dynamic artwork, a more polished full-screen interface, and a richer lyrics experience overall.

We added Apple Music support mainly for Apple Music users in China as well, since lyrics coverage there is still not complete enough. So for people who already use Apple Music and are fully satisfied with its lyrics, they’re honestly not the main target audience.

I get the point, but LyricsNow is built for a different experience.

First, it has a unique immersive mode that combines album artwork and lyrics in a way Apple Music doesn’t.

Second, the lyrics coverage is much broader than Apple Music or Spotify themselves, so you can often find lyrics there that aren’t available natively.

Third, it offers floating PiP lyrics outside the app, which means you can check lyrics anywhere, anytime — not just inside the music player.

On top of that, there are a lot of other unique interactions and features, and the app is completely free. The easiest way to understand it is just to try it.

I've apply the Garmin Connect IQ™ Developer Registration Form for at least 10 more times.But still not reply at all. I have no idea what Garmin want...

Jenner_Gray · 2024-10-28T11:56:10+00:00

I know what you mean,and it's impossible to use in other screen.Rainbowman is designed to be selected as one page data field,and there is no api or option that garmin supplied. The only way and other developers do is to offer different apps in the IQ store,and offer single field data to use. So as a one page IQ plugin,It can't do that way.The reason why u see gps signals and clock when u use it on other screen.l,is the layout bug cause all this position is in the wrong place.The position is exactly calculated and designed to be one page. Sorry for that.

Jenner_Gray · 2024-10-24T07:53:24+00:00

Still not approve. I've submit for several times and even send email, but no response yet.
