Changelog

What changed in each version of Navi Lyrics. Dates are when each version was finished; the Chrome Web Store can take a few days to roll it out.

v1.6.4 Latest

  • The lyrics cache now keeps up to 400 songs (was 120), so songs you replay load instantly.
  • Clearer error messages inside the floating window, with a hint about what to do next.
  • The font size you chose is applied again when you reopen the floating window.
  • The search status now updates step by step while lyrics are loading.
  • Fixed: the thumbs-down button walks through the available versions in order without freezing, and the version counter resets on every new song.
  • Fixed: lyrics search right after starting the browser is retried instead of failing.
  • Fixed: the title-only fallback search no longer matches unrelated songs.

v1.6.3

  • New Chrome Web Store title and description.
  • Fixed: the floating window no longer closes if a step fails right after opening it.

v1.6.1

  • If the full search finds nothing, Navi tries again with the song title only.
  • Tidier popup layout.
  • The visual “How it works” guide now includes an Apple Music button.

v1.6.0

  • Apple Music support on music.apple.com.

  • Skins: complete redesigns of the floating window. CRT Amber, Y2K Webcore, E-Ink Paper, ASCII / BBS and Arcade Operator.
