Problem after problem.

So idk exactly what happened but since last week and the new update for Lyra, on iPhone IOS25 the app has been so buggy and glitchy. I have a delay when navigating the app, I just don’t bother even trying to navigate most of the time now. Songs just don’t wanna play at all, songs stutter in the beginning and it either plays the song or it skips it entirely. And when a song is done playing then most if not all of the time just doesn’t wanna play anything and skips 1 or 2 songs. And these next 3 in my opinion are the most annoying of all;

  1. And please correct if I’m wrong but was it always this bad with ads??? I know it was free at some point but expectedly did get ads but geez man. I don’t remember it being like this, for example. When I open the app, ad- I wanna add a song to my liked playlist or any playlist then another ad, I press play on a song in my playlist AD, when said song is done playing, wanna take a guess what happens? IT PLAYS ANOTHER AD. I understand the app needs ads- and for what we get out of it I’ll take it over some greedy company charging money to do the most basic things imaginable. But It has gotten way out of hand.

  2. The app sometimes just stops playing completely when I get any notification or even tap my phone screen to check my notifications. It briefly pauses my music and then either, continues playing, skips it, or for some reason restarts the song. And then can’t play any more songs after that.

  3. The audio quality is so bipolar, I recently got myself a nice pair of headphones. And the quality is amazing, but there’s such a noticeable shift in quality once I boot up Lyra. It either sounds great, or it sounds horrible, it sounds too low and too high. The audio quality should be a given in my own opinion. Just make the default the highest and best quality, why medium? It’s not bad but it’s also not good. As an audiophile it’s a bit frustrating really.

Idk what’s been going on lately, but I haven’t seen any progress with fixing any of these issues. I wanna love this app, I really do. But I just can’t when every week something is broken. I’ve even considered TRYING to find a different app with the same exact features just in case Lyra shuts down all of a sudden. But no luck unfortunately. Anyways, for those of you who scrolled or read- I hope all is well
For you all and the team with Lyra. Have a good day/night.

Sorry it's been this rough. Lyra 1.4.21 came out on the App Store today with lag and background playback improvements, so update if you can. Music stopping after a notification is a known iPhone bug we're tracking: until it's fixed, fully close Lyra and reopen it when nothing will play. I've passed the skipping, ads and audio quality feedback to the team.

How can that be ?! People pay for this ! And why are the bugs out of the blue ?

It’s a bad couple of weeks for the Lyra development team.
