User reviews

SLyrics is highly praised for providing synchronized and comprehensive song lyrics on platforms like Spotify and YouTube Music, enhancing user experience with a clean interface and useful features. However, it primarily functions only on browser versions (not desktop apps), and users report limited lyric availability for some songs, especially non-English ones. Activation can be confusing, and users have experienced temporary functionality issues. It currently does not support Apple Music. Overall, it is considered a valuable and well-designed extension for lyric display.

Pros

Provides synchronized lyrics that enhance the music listening experience.
Works effectively with Spotify and YouTube Music to display song lyrics.
Has a neat and user-friendly interface for managing the extension.
Often offers a more comprehensive lyrics database than the host music platforms.
Includes useful features like picture-in-picture lyric display and smooth lyric appearance.

Cons

Does not work with Spotify's desktop app; only works on the browser version.
Lyrics are unavailable for some songs, particularly for certain languages or less common tracks.
There is some confusion about activation, especially regarding the 'L' key shortcut versus the lyric button.
Extension occasionally stops working and requires a waiting period before functioning again.
Does not support Apple Music as per user feedback.

I had gotten confused on how to activate the extension. I use youtube music and the "Welcome" pop up page said to press "L" , which didnt work. Just now realizing the little lyric button. Blew my mind when I changed the option for site data, allowing it to be a little hover box for every tab? WAIT! No. Everywhere?! This extension is best by far for synchronized lyrics. (Dont not add it after reading this)
