Best App Ever !

I’ve been using Shazam’s app since they launched ! I love this app , and i use it for multiple things! I like to use Shazam when I hear a new song and want to upload it to a playlist on my Apple Music , or if I hear an old song and just want to add it to my recent lists of music to listen to ! Also , when you can’t figure out the words and your having a debate about they correct lyrics, it’s a great reference and almost always spot on accurate! I love the auto Shazam’s feature , in case I want to add music I like from a friends playlist so I can explore later on my own time ! Thanks for the best app ever guys , hands down all around the board for this one ! You guys are genius ! Love y’all! Update : my only current issue is navigating to the blue Shazam button every since the upgrade , it’s really annoying not being able to find it , esp when your at the end of a great song and your in some settings or some recent mixes y’all curate for us , I love the feature however I need my blue button back on a main separate screen and Easy to find like the old Shazam’s I grew accustomed to. Other that that , great app , I hope you guys take this as constructive criticism , and for anyone who hasn’t ever used the app , don’t let this scare you off , it definitely still way worth it to download it . This small function is something I’m sure newbies wouldn’t even notice being new users and easily taught new tricks, lol , but ya Shazam’s veterans seem to be all having an issue with this feature or the lack there of ..

There’s this one thing that Shazam does so well since it’s infancy. That is not give you the song that you actually wanted. Hey, has it gradually gotten better over the years? Yes it has but that’s not why I use it. I use it to find the music that I didn’t know about I would never know about because we’re all stuck in our little bubbles. Not complaining it does when it’s supposed to do find rhythms chords that are in a certain pattern and gives you a suggestion. Of what that song might be as a music producer a DJ or I should just say a lover of music. I literally can’t live without it. It has to be on all the time, I find this feature, not a bug of Shazam as one of the greatest gifts, a music app could give to me. I have broaden my musical taste. I have fell in love with international artists that sounded like American artist that I would’ve never even heard about. I get to introduce new music to my friends that I’m passionate about all because I like a beat a rhythm accord or a song. And I use Shazam to find out what it is and granted most of time especially with commercial Pop, music hip-hop, etc. etc.. but that 79.9% of the time that he gets it wrong is the golden goose an egg. Every day I get to eat them sunny side up.

As a lover of both technology and music, Shazam is one of the best apps I’ve come across. Often times I will hear a beautiful piece of composition that catches my ear and don’t know the artist, song title or variant of it and can’t find it - but with Shazam, that’s a thing of the past.I’ve been using this program for some years now and one thing that has amazed me is the quickness in which Shazam can identify the music piece in question, currently watching “The Creator” (great Sci-Fi film btw) and it had a japanese or asian song that caught my ear (during the scene where the police raid the apartment to recapture Alpha) and I started the program up to capture the song on a part where it was just instrumentation under sounds and dialogue and within in less than 2 seconds Shazam picked up on what the song was and that is what motivated me to write this review.With the advent of A.I. I can only wonder what amazing benefits and new advancements can be made with Shazam.If you’re ever in search of a song artist, title or variant you hear in any media, THIS IS THE APP YOU WANT!Thank you Shazam devs for creating, maintaining and keeping this amazing application up to date. Keep up the great work!

Utterly disappointing failure unfortunately

Just downloaded it and tried something like this for the first time in my life. It failed to recognize a very common piece of freaking classical music because it was used in an informational video with someone talking over it. The volume of the music was fine, it wasn’t hard to hear at all and something like famous classical pieces should be one of the easiest things to identify and an easy measure of success for such an app. It was very disappointing that this app couldn’t solve a simple problem I would think would be very common. That basically tells me that this app doesn’t function except in the most ideal of circumstances. What hope does this have of working in other realistic everyday circumstances like hearing music at a bar or in a tv show or at any other event you encounter in life. Really what is the point and utility in such an app then. It isn’t practical at all, it’s far far too limited. I don’t know who this benefits or how the business model could possibly be successful. Especially in this day and age, you guys should really invest in using AI or something to improve the success. I hope you read these reviews to improve the app because I don’t know how else to send feedback, and I hope it improves because I wouldn’t have a purpose in using it again until/if it does, but I would love if it could help me do what I’d like and what I thought its very intended purpose is. Please do something to make it better.
