The app (v1.6.2) worked quite well until this week. Now, it's completely useless, as if it suddenly went deaf. When it doesn't give up and claims to have identified a song title and artist, it's laughably far off the mark. Restarting my phone didn't help, nor did clearing the app's cache and data. So, although I tend to despise Apple, I reluctantly installed Shazam. Now, I've regained the ability to identify a track by name and artist in seconds.

As long as you catch the song before the next one starts, you are good. I tried to find the current song but it had JUST transitioned to Motley Crue Kick Start My Heart. It found MC, and I was thinking that is totally not it, but it was ahead of my lousy brain. Seriously, it had three chords at the most! I hadn't even realized the song had changed. Had to uninstall, it couldn't find my browser? Firefox Focus.

When it works, this app is great. More often than not I see "no audio" and "microphone could be blocked" which makes app useless. I've tried tweaking media volume setting, it helps every once in a while. I've delayed Beatfind's search while picking the position in a song where it seems good place to start sampling. If I feel I've time to kill, I'll try that. Mostly it doesn't help, but it worked in couple of instances. I would not be surprised that I've missed a phone setting.
