Lyrics Finder 1.0 is a new windows phone app developed by rvanavr from ppcgeeks.com , the app will download the lyrics for your favorite song on windows mobile. Check out our full review and see why you should give it a go.

Lyrics-Finder

Lyrics Finder has got a very basic UI. When you fire up the app you have a Search and Cache button. The cache allows you to view your previous lyrics search. They are downloaded to your device so you can use it offline. The Search button will take you to the search page. Here you have the option to search for lyrics using 3 criteria

Title
Artist
Text ( any text with in the song )

Once you search the app loads the first 20 results ( it can be changed in settings ) if you hit More the app loads another 20 results up to a maximum of 100 results. Select any of the result by clicking on it and then hit the Text button to load the lyrics. The app automatically marks ( in green )the songs for which the lyrics have been downloaded. One rather good feature is that it shows you a random Quote when the app is trying to fetch the data from the server, so there is no boring loading screen

We are not sure where the app downloads the data from. We are waiting for the developer to get back to us on that. If you go in to settings you can change the language and the number of results the app should load in one go. I was a bit disappointed with the UI, I believe the app makes use of too many buttons , like the lyrics can be downloaded on double click rather than by using the text button. At times the app loads blank lyrics but overall its a great app and I think every one should give it a go, especially since it is Free !!

Tested On : WM6.5 Emulator VGA

Pros :

Works quite Well and Fast
The Cache Mode is great
Random Quote while Loading is Fantastic

Cons :

UI can use some work
Can be made more finger friendly

Possible Improvements :

Load a result by double clicking the result ( instead of using the Text button )
The results should be made scrollable by fingers ( not by using buttons , sidebar )

Windows Mobile App : Lyrics Finder

Price : Free

Version Under Review : 1.0
