Android app that instantly fetches your lyrics for you.

QuickLyric

QuickLyric is an android app that instantly fetches your lyrics for you. Its main perks is that it's very fast, features Material Design as well as a search engine, a Karaoke mode, the downloading of all your lyrics on your device & some handy settings. While most lyrics app require you to type the name of the song you're searching for or annoy you with tedious notifications every time the song has changed, QuickLyric automatically detects what song is playing on your device and instantly delivers the lyrics to you.

QuickLyric is written in Java and runs on phones and tablets equipped with Android 4.0 or higher. The build system relies on Gradle and Android Studio is therefore recommended.
