In Mid-July I received reports that the app was crashing as soon as a song-artist pair was chosen.
Initial logs pointed towards issues with the reactive elements songLines and songWords that were constructed via eventReactive as well as a potential connection problem (Error in open.connection: cannot open the connection). The app runs as expected and without any errors or warnings locally. The crash issues only occur when running on shinyapps.io.
Upon investigation, it seems that the issue is one of connecting the app to the lyric webpages. Potentially, genius.com has blacklisted the AWS that shinyapps.io lives in, similar to this community posting.
