Most useful tool for figuring names of songs You hear a song on the radio, you like it, you wonder what the name of it is, Shazam is there to help. You open up the app and it typically figures out the songs in seconds. Not saying this is the safe thing, but people are going to use while driving regardless. It finds the name of the song quick so your not on your phone that long. If your forgetful like me, it saves all your findings.

Starts too long I run it once in a while, and it always fails to start before song is over, setting something inside it. Really first do the job, then ask for account or synchronize whatever it is

Always inaccurate. I always keep receiving Spanish or Latin music whenever there are acoustic guitars playing in the source music. And the song results don't even have the same melody. Unless it's a mainstream song, I'll never know what it is without lengthy research.

Its stupid When i log out or change my phones and log back in i lose all my music and i save alot of it 😑😔 would be great if i actually had my stuff saved. UPDATE: My shazams are still lost if i log out and log back in! Bullshittttt

Using this because Encore is half-assed I gave you my hard earned money yet still have to bear with the ads because the paid version (Shazam Encore) is missing key features like Google Now integration and Quick Settings panel shortcut. I'm not a happy camper.

Fix email logins! Update from my last review submitted a month ago.... I submitted support requests via your website, and my posts to your Facebook support page and main page have been ignored. The email logins do not work on a pc. The login page states it has been disabled for "improvements" for weeks. How about enabling email logins until these improvements are ready? Fix this and I change my rating to 5 stars and update my review. I have 600+ Shazams I can't access from my laptop.

Hopeless I have a Samsung Galaxy S5 and shazam is hopeless, out of the last 7 songs I attempted to identify it got 1. Which really annoys me as I think it should do better than that.

A Google User September 27, 2016

ITS DECENT I still like the old shazam where you can hit the button to start looking you can't do it no more I like sound hound better now they have the feature. Shouldn't of changed that..

Melinda Sharpe September 28, 2016

It's good, not great I like the Shazam app just fine, it serves its purpose, my only complaint is that after a song has been identified and it shows that it's available on Spotify it often doesn't sync up and download the song to my playlist. I considered logging in and out but I'm concerned I may lose my songs

Simon Says September 27, 2016

Way too many mistakes and not honest in the fact it couldn't find the track.. Instead it says we couldn't recognise... Please put phone nearer speaker. Putting it nearer doesn't mean it suddenly will find it. 😂

Kyle Leggott September 28, 2016

Become rubbish Oops that didn't work get closer to the song.... the music is blaring and I've got my phone practically touching the speaker.... it can't physically get any closer! !

Aaez Iqbal September 29, 2016

Useful app, but laggy Have lots of lag when using this app on my HTC 10. Pretty accurate in finding songs, even obscure electronic tracks.

Hernan Ducasse September 27, 2016

Excellent, Perfect It's just awesome. Just MindBlow. Works perfect. It's the BEST idea someone came up with in this century. Awesome. Nobel for you guys

Rahul Singh September 27, 2016

Unique one Good idea of identifying music but it shows error most of the time. U should be very close to the source of sound.

Patty Hoeler September 27, 2016

Used To Be Good I'm not sure what happened but now whenever I try to capture a aong it says to move closer to the sound. Seriously I had my device right next to the speaker and nothing.

Daniel Braksator September 29, 2016

Works but annoying Far from perfect user experience but the core functionality is solid.

Travis owen September 29, 2016

Amazing I love this app so much. I have yet to find a song it couldn't name and it's so useful for when you hear a really catchy song but don't know it's name.

kevin field September 23, 2016

Great app Luving the way it catches the music u like,when u don't know who the artist is or title of the song.

Debbie Jalil September 26, 2016

Never recognizes any music Too bad, would have been a useful app

Warren Hewett September 30, 2016

Think this is the best app on my phone! Only the odd occasion when it can't recognise a song. Inventor you are a genius!

Chris Smith September 27, 2016

Way to go This app has gotten much better since, it's more accurate easy to use and very useful.

Carla Connors September 27, 2016

Where has this been all my life?! I use this all the time. Probably my favorite app.

Jens Burvall September 29, 2016

Worthless Not sure what you geniouses did the app that was amazing a year or two ago, but hell. It doesn't even hear anything anymore. Move closer, move closer. Any closer than this and I'd have to shove the phone inside of my speaker.

Henrico Cijster September 24, 2016

Older version please. Not picking up the music

Fatma Danial September 29, 2016

I used to love it The new update is horrible now..

Jackie Isaac September 28, 2016

Crap Doesn't recognise non mainstream music.

satya siva prasad September 28, 2016

Not able to load data While app opening it is saying you r offline even I had Internet.

Rob Gonzalo September 29, 2016

Shazam! Great idea and so easy to use, I just wish that there were more varieties of music able to be recognized by your app. Thanks for creating it though, seriously comes in so handy.

chris whiting September 29, 2016

Doesn't work I've been trying it and it keeps saying I can't hear anything to out it closer when I knows that's not the reason

mizan Ali September 27, 2016

Really laggy app please fix this problem but overall really good app

Butch Maynard September 26, 2016

Butch3346 Great ap, just wish that more lyrics were available and that the lyrics scroll automatically with the song as it plays

Anton Paarup Kylling September 24, 2016

Slow Slow and uses lots of system resources.

Sec Achel September 27, 2016
