This app will require 15.3 MB of free space on your iOS device.

How it Works

The Genius - Search and Understand user interface is very user friendly. On the home screen you’ll see a list of categories at the top to choose from, and a search bar if you want to enter your own query.

If you want to you can create your own profile but it’s not a requirement for using the app. There is one other feature that’s really cool though.
