The website is terrible. You would think a company that routinely collaborates with big name artists would be able to run a website but apparently not. It refreshes every 5 seconds, ads cover a large... See more

Best meditation wellbeing app

Genius by Jay Getty is a great wellbeing, meditation, positive psychology, coaching app. Thank you Jay Shetty and all of the team that work to put this app together.
My 19 year old son was struggling with mental health and I was looking for a way to help him. A way to grasp the main ideas of wellbeing and positive psychology to help him gain confidence and self-esteem.
When I came across Jay Shetty in YouTube I really liked his energy, message, vibe... I realized he is aiming to reach audiences between 18 and 35.
I bought the app to test it and get my money back before the first month if I did not like it.
It has been 23 days; I have meditated 21 days, listened to one journey and two life workshops.
I absolutely love this app.
Jay Shetty teaches wellbeing and positive psychology in the most amazing way. He is not boring, at the contrary, his style is really engaging and fun. He speaks from his experiences and wisdom he gained while being a monk. He also speaks from the latest research of positive psychology.
He is always studying and keeping up to day with scientific information. He bring together science and spirituality.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart. The world needs this app.
I am definitely keeping this app forever. Regarding my son, he has listened to a couple of workshops that he found helpful.
I want to buy him the app and he agreed to get it after his exams.
Thank you Jay, from the bottom of my heart

Totally unprofessional and uncaring site!

My rating is based on my experiences as a songwriter submitting lyrics to this site. If it was possible to give a no star rating I would. They do not deserve a one star rating. When I first used the site I was impressed by being able to put metadata down on the site to credit others who had sung or played on my songs and write about the song inspiration etc. However, what I have noticed is that Genius sends the lyrics to other sites and the Metadata gets twisted around in the process with people being given credit for writing my songs when they didn't write any lyrics or arrange/write the music. I don't know how many times I have written to this faceless company to rectify false recording of info but they never respond to anything you send. All my songs show as unreviewed on their site even though some have been there for years now. I had to remove others from the credits on their metadata myself to try and stop the false reporting but it still happens regardless. I noted my song 'Anti-Vaxxer' is currently showing as having been written by Mark Hocknell who co-produced and played on it but Mark didn't write any of the lyrics and I have 100% copyright of them all registered. What sort of bogus company is this that doesn't respond to or give a toss about contributors. Bruce Neilsen aka The Immaculate Crows

An absolute crapfest

An absolute crapfest. Mods that don't remove users who spam hate comments, site owners don't give two craps how unprofessional their site appears. I cannot believe this site is considered good enough for Spotify to even consider at this point. So much spam and hate comments.

Avoid this place at all cost

Avoid this place at all cost. Their "Staff" is just members of the site. You will never get emailed back over an issue aka there "real staff" completely tosses out any emails they receive.

It's not bad but they let members of…

Fifedoms with uncreditable takes on lyrics.
It's not bad but they let members of the community run sections. As you'd expect they get bogged down in their personal interpretation.
Overall if you're looking for what the author said about the song, be prepared to see a ton of unproven wild theories.
And if you have something to offer yourself, don't dare disagree with the tone of the page you're on. I even changed lyrics based on a printed lyrics book by the artist, and was told I was making it up and my contributions deleted.
Human nature has ruined a good idea.
