My favorite app…but…

I’ve used this app for a couple years and love it to death. Use it almost daily if not for sure a few times a week. Lately there has been a ton of issues regarding “network issues” and it won’t let me search anything at all, even on WiFi amd with full bars 4g.

I hope it can be resolved as I use this app more than any other and absolutely love it.

MUST READ

I’d like to say that not only do you need the $3.99 to buy the app and use it for minimal things such as a few lyrics to find a song and that’s about it. You’re almost forced to spend the extra $9.99 to allow it to use your microphone to listen, pretty much the whole purpose of downloading the FREE app called “Shazam”. I tried this app thinking it could find sampled songs but if you’re into more underground music you’ll find nothing, fan-made, unreleased, leaked, unfinished, etc… You’ll only find completely published and sometimes a song name with an “unknown artist”. The last amazing feature is how after being so dissatisfied and wanting a refund, the app refuses to let me contact any staff relating to this joke of an app. I hope whoever reads this enjoys my aggravating experience and goes to soundcloud, google, shazam, anything else.

Developer Response ,

Hi, we're sorry to hear that you're unhappy with your purchase. The app is forever ad free and allows you to perform a text search for the samples, covers and remixes in over 1 million songs, at no additional cost. The audio recognition feature specifically is available under an additional subscription, and we try to make that very clear in the app's description and screenshots. All other unique features, such as Spotify and Apple Music library scanning, are included in the app without a subscription. We hope you give the app another try and find it useful after all, but if not, you can request a refund from the App Store. If you ever need to contact us, you can do so via the Settings tab in the app, or write to us at support@whosampled.com. Best regards, WhoSampled Support

Not worth the money

I paid for the full version because I thought it'd be better than the website. I still wouldn't recommend this app. One reviewer hit the nail on the head when they said the app looked like it was for an iPhone 4. It's incredibly slow and primitive and to be honest, is extremely lacking with sampling information. Half of the time they don't even have the answer I'm looking for. The Genius app usually has better information on samples and that isn't even the primary function of the app. I'd recommend that app over this one any day. And don't even think about paying for this.
