I LUV YOUTUBE

I WOULD GIVE THIS 5 STARS IF ONLY This app is life like omg u don't know how many times I heard a song I really like but don't know what its called so I open this app and BAM in 3 secs it gave me info bout the song but the only thing is that I wish it could play in the background like for example I could start it up then I would exit the app and it would still work but unfortunately when I exit the app it stops listening if the could do that then this would be 5 stars

Shazam... The app that WAS! Used to be my go to for music and now unfortunately its slow, clunky to start and has poor recognition of tracks and doesn't appear to be as sensitive as Soundhound. It's not worth me using any more so I'm uninstalling after all these years sadly.

Kaitlyn Vacetti

HATE I hate this stupid app it sucks... I'm trying to just listen to a song it only dose a flipping little part of the song this is useless if you want to listen to the whole song you have to get is with money .... STUPID the only thing I like is that you touch the little button and the app will listen to the song and tell you the name and stuff don't get this DONT HATE USELESS 😡😣👎👎👎👎

Charlie Ruano

Amazing and easy I've had this app for over 5 years and it's been getting better and better. There is no other app I use for music

Monica Gurrola

Things changes I loved this app so much until one day, for some reason, it has stopped working. I would try to open it up and then it would just send me to my home screen. Disappointed. 👎

A gift from heaven Hardly fails me, i owe my play list to it

Awful Used to be good, now it's slow and clunky

D. Harley May 24, 2016

Love I'm always asking who sings that? What is the name of this song? My favorite app by far!!!

nikolay codogno May 24, 2016

Good app but is using to much memory in background, I will think to look for some alternative

Elias Sayegh May 25, 2016

Must have A very handy application ! It does what it says ! It had a very high detection rate (very old songs did not get a match).

Brian Tran May 27, 2016

One thing I need I don't really care about the other features the app has, but only for the detection program. It works amazingly well even when there's lots of background noises. The app has helped me countless times to find those beautiful music played at events, stores, etc.

Janay Stewart May 26, 2016

Ehh It's alright. Wish all songs had the streaming lyrics. Fix please! But does a good job as far as identifying the song.

Michael Harris May 24, 2016

Annoying I like this app, however I wish the app would just say it doesn't know the song, rather than telling me to get closer to the source, sometimes I turn up volume and set the phone right next to the speaker and it still says the same thing, just very annoying...

Christina Raig May 27, 2016

Widget It needs a widget so that I don't have to open up the app every time, it's difficult when driving.

avenger232 May 24, 2016

Garbage. It doesn't work very well at all. Running on a S6 edge and the app claims to not hear anything properly.

john idgaf May 24, 2016

Doesn't recognize crap Useless unless you like mainstream garbage.

G Arnes May 25, 2016

Was amazingly good! When I first used this app it was on an iphone3. I loved it then! it did what it was meant to do & gave options to listening to samples of tunes on albums relevant to tune/artist. You could then buy single track or whole LP. It also had a search option. I since changed to an android & with this updated version don't get the mentioned options. It hardly recognises tunes I get it to listen to & recommends stuff I am not interested in. I haven't bought any music since. 😦

Amjeth Singh May 24, 2016

Wonderful app I very much useful me and those who try to find the album just with in 5 second of listening in it.

Sashi Kanth May 24, 2016

Please add apple music integration found in IOS version Apple music integration(as apple music is now available for android) with app. when shazam identifies a song there is an option to open that particular song in saavn and youtube but not in apple music which is available in IOS version of your app

Jack Joynson May 26, 2016

This app works for mainstream music but fails to recognise any remix correctly- soundhound works much better

A Google User May 24, 2016

Updated 5/24/16 now it doesn't work

Tyler Durden May 24, 2016

Great when I hear song on radio I however don't have spotify

Dren606 May 27, 2016

Best app ever. I searched and searched for the title of a song I heard on an Uber ad but I got nothing. This app found the song right away. 10/10 would recommend.

Mark Dickinson May 24, 2016

Erm Doesn't work,

Shoueb Chishti May 25, 2016

Great app It's unique, quick and easy. It's very practical to most of music lovers.

Tyrone Whiston May 24, 2016

Great Continues to work well. Running on Galaxy S6 Edge.

John Yong May 26, 2016

We didn't quite get that please put near to the source Useless!

yoobi lee May 24, 2016

Alastair Desouza May 27, 2016

Please fix Direct link to purchase music in Google Play doesn't appear any longer

Conor Lynch May 27, 2016

Good app Best thing is u can listen to music without wifi

Total Security May 24, 2016

Security issues! You should not allow this app location permissions.

Rodney Heinrich May 25, 2016

The best You need to know what you listen to!

Lesley Albin May 27, 2016

Shazam rocks Love this app when I just can't remember band, singer, lyrics, everything!

Lorena Terry May 24, 2016

This is pretty good! I just really wish this app could detect humming to get the song match when I don't know the lyrics, and I wish that this app could detect what song it is by the instrumental tidbits! That would help SO MUCH! 😃

Michael Angels May 24, 2016

good app..only if we could download..

Kevin Alvino May 24, 2016

Bad Music recognition was bad, trying to listen exact same song for 5 times and none of them is right. It's Avicii - Broken Arrows btw.

Zamoma Senior May 25, 2016

Best This is one of the best music 🎶 app.

Alexander Sarajlic May 27, 2016

What !!! My first song i ever used to find out what the song was and it wad a bosnian folk song the people who made this app must be rocketscientists 😄
