Detailed Review

Finish The Lyrics by Daniel Baczkowski occupies a specific niche within the music games category on iOS. It functions as a trivia challenge where players are given a line from a song and must correctly select the following lyric from multiple-choice options. The app bypasses lengthy tutorials, thrusting users directly into gameplay—a design choice that prioritizes immediacy. Its position in the market is as a lean, focused tool for testing musical knowledge rather than a multimedia entertainment suite. The core functionality revolves around answering sequential lyric questions to progress through rounds. Players begin with three lives, losing one for each incorrect answer. Coins earned during play can be used to purchase hints, such as revealing a letter or removing wrong choices. Additional song sets are locked initially, requiring progression or coins to unlock. A notable feature is the inclusion of a separate mini-game, though its specifics are less documented in user reviews. The structure is simple: identify the lyric, maintain your lives, and unlock more content. In practice, the user experience is defined by its speed and accessibility. The interface is minimal, with large text for lyrics and clear buttons for answers. This makes it suitable for short sessions, such as during a commute or a break. However, the difficulty curve can be steep for players with partial song knowledge, as the three-life system offers little room for error. The economy of earning and spending coins feels restrictive to some; rewards for correct answers are modest, and the primary method to gain more coins appears to be watching optional video advertisements, which some users report as intermittently non-functional. Analyzing user feedback reveals consistent trends. Reviews indicate high satisfaction with the app's addictive, straightforward gameplay, often citing its effectiveness as a mood booster or a fun way to learn songs. Specific critiques focus on the desire for more contemporary music updates and the inclusion of actual song clips, rather than just text. The coin system and ad mechanics are frequently mentioned as points of friction, with players wishing for more generous earning opportunities or fewer barriers to unlocking content. The lack of a sprawling level list is noted, but generally accepted given the app's casual nature. Overall, Finish The Lyrics succeeds as a focused lyric trivia game. Its strength lies in its immediate, challenging gameplay that appeals to music enthusiasts. The main limitations involve its somewhat punishing life system and a virtual currency model that can feel limiting. It is a solid choice for players seeking a pure test of lyrical memory, though those desiring a more audiovisual or consistently updated song database might find its scope narrow.

This is an awesome game. The only thing to make it better is that it needs music. I think that if it could be updated so that it has newer songs, it would be ever better.

If you do not want to get discontinue you have to raise your iOS version to iOS 26. It’s not a choice. You must do it. I mean it. Hi If you do not want to get discontinue you have to raise your iOS version to iOS 26. It’s not a choice. You must do it. I mean it.

Im always looking for dancing or singing games and I thought this would be fun to test my song lyric memory. I downloaded the game and it was nice since it went straight to the first round as I don’t like to wait through the menu or tutorial lol. However I feel like it’s pretty challenging to those who know some but not all of them (like me) and you only get three lives. My ads don’t work and there’s limited ways to get coins and there’s barely any coins when you do earn them. I would say make it a little easier and give us more ways to earn coins, but this is a great game! Pretty good!
