Bug: can't open Google Play music link from shazam'd songs now. Clicking the Google Play button doesn't do anything Also would be good to have in the pull down notification bar menu not only an auto Shazam but just an instant Shazam button that does one off identifications. Auto takes too long to identify when there's a song I really quickly need to identify

Valus Mckindley

Cannot save song offline because after every update the app requires internet to open up again. It gives the message/splash "Setting up shazam" and requires internet. This is very stupid and fustrating..what was the point of the offline saving then if you cant even open the app. Will have to look for another app because this is ridiculous design.

Josh Pruett

This app doesn't work for the intended use. It can't pick up something that you might be singing and can't think of the name of the song. It basically requires you to have the actual song playing in order to find it, in which case I wouldn't even need the app to begin with. I even tried popular songs that were quite east to pick up and it still showed No Results.

Cristi Tomy

Too bad for the technology. Theguys in charge of the design shoild look for other jobs. The worst design ever. The worst choice of colours and fonts. Thanks for the spam, though. It's just like you don't care. Let me say that Again. White fonts on Orange background is kind of stupid Don't you think?

Horrible experience. One can find other free apps from well know search engine providers that work perfectly well with a non invasive nature. Shazam work as well as others tested, buttttt, you have to log in, endure countless useless spam, assault of pointless notifications. This service almost demands more attention and of your time than some of our most popular social profile services. And to think, all i wanted was to was id songs.

Ashley Fee

I'm really upset with this app right now! I have used this app for years & absolutely LOVE it... I did the last update & now every time I use it, it says "no results". I've signed out & back in... I've uninstalled & Reinstalled it & still the same thing! PLEASE FIX THIS!

This app is not perfect, but it's very helpful! I use it often when I'm listening to the radio, but today I gave it a challenge. From the passenger seat of my fiance's car I managed to Shazam what the man in the car next to us was listening to. It was a very obscure remix that I actually had to go on to SoundCloud to even find, but I'll be damned, Shazam was 100% correct!

Todd Pruett July 19, 2017

Love this app. Have had it on all my phones that I've had over the years. Love how quick it identifies songs and then i can add them to my Spotify playlist. Also love the fact that you can watch the video and also get the lyrics. I also use it when I'm watching a movie on TV and there's a song that I don't recognize and Shazam will identify if for me. Recommend to any music lover.

Literally just didn't work. Installed, uninstalled and reinstalled. Worked some of the time and then just stopped being able to pick up on any sounds, songs or anything really, despite checking all my settings and the app settings, then just point blank stopped working at all and issued a report problem message. Quite disappointing and pretty useless for purpose

Emily Jordan July 22, 2017

Shazaam is excellent for identifying recognizing studio recorded performances, but is useless if you watch the performers live. I use it when listening to the one radio station that provides reception at my job and when watching tv. But at live concerts it won't recognize diddly squat.

Liam Price July 16, 2017

Used to be such a great app. Now a days it crashes every time I try to identity a song. If it doesn't do that it will instantly say no result found after a split second of searching.

BirdFrogTurtle BirdFrogTurtle June 30, 2017

Shazam's use of the "What's new" section to advertise and ask for ratings instead of providing viable change logs is disrespectful to users. Don't be fooled by their uninformative boasting as Shazam descends into an aggressive form advertising, all too similar to adware and spamware.

Tahir Bayramov June 30, 2017

What is wrong with shazam? I can not log in to my old account and even register with new one, i confirm the confirmation email but it shows same "confirm or resend the email" text, please guys fix it, it is an awesome application though.

Danielle Winkler July 15, 2017

Would be great, except that when I switched phones and logged back in to Shazam, I didn't have ANY of my old playlist saved! 😠 I can't explain how mad this made me. If it wasn't for this problem, wouldda been five stars. •{7/15/17} This App is honestly my FAVORITE App! I'm frustrated with how poorly the app is performing lately.. Often times, when I'm not home with wifi & use it, it just "listens" to the song endlessly. It used to do this occasionally, but later it would find the song. Now it just wastes my time listening infinitely. Samsung Galaxy S6.

Fab Mini July 1, 2017

The actual point of this app is to use it quickly to discover a song in any place at any time. It takes ages to start, numerous ads and registration remarks and no availability offline. It became useless

David Noel July 9, 2017

Used to be excellent. Not anymore. With the new look you can't tell if it's really listening other than it says it is. Unlike older versions that graphically moved to the beat of the music. The worst part is that it only identifies songs 1 out of 10 times. Update-- The old look is back and working well. Let's hope it stays that way.

Michael Warren July 21, 2017

I should be on that Shazam show, I can Google the lyrics faster than this app. Not that it takes time to find the song , the app takes forever to load, which defeats the purpose. Auto Shazam times out soo fast. It's been buggy since inception.

patricia gonzales July 5, 2017

Too many permissions why do you need to know my location. Everytime that I try to shazam a song it tells me song not found.

July 7, 2017

I have a galaxy s5 and I don't think it's the phone but it just won't understand! My mic works, because I just used it to look up something five minutes ago. I'm going to reinstall it, but if it doesn't work again, I'm uninstalling it. FOREVER.

Omar Ahmad July 22, 2017

Most useless app. It can never find the song playing unless it's a song that is top of the charts. Most fraudulent app on the market that doesn't deliver on what it claims to do. Complete garbage.

Chandana Gunawardana July 9, 2017

Recently I noticed that it started to fail to identify some song. And no results screen shows. Most of these songs are radio play. Previously I haven't encountered this problem.

Tiffany Jackson July 21, 2017

This app is no longer working correctly. It doesn't recognize any of the music that I try to shazam and it's been doing this for days. I've tried deleting the app and reinstalling but that was unsuccessful. Please fix the issue.

July 1, 2017

Music is a big part of anybody's life. So much great music out there, impossible to remember all data. But very nice when you here an oltime favourite , an with shazam you instantly have the necessary data available....wonderful!!!!!

Nuning Soedibjo July 4, 2017

It even can't regocnize every song that I played, got worst than previous version. Am regretting to update shazam!! 😒

David morrison July 23, 2017

Ekkkk. Oppps. What a joke. Get rid of that junk as i cant shazaam one after another idiots because I have to clear your stupid messages.

Fujoshi Queen July 23, 2017

It used to be great but now every time it listens to a sing it won't even try to pick it up. I'm very disappointed

Mark Bolland July 7, 2017

Used to be a great app. Works 2 out if 5 times now. How can you screw up something as simple as the original fantastic app. Developers egos I guess.

The kid Gamer July 10, 2017

So here's how it goes if i type a lot i will be bumped up to the top with that being said i really do love this app it is literally the most useful app ever made

Damaris Kaecha July 13, 2017

Terrible version, doesn't help if you are not too close to the song. The older version was way better

Marcus M. July 20, 2017

This is great for me, because I have sometimers not altimers 😃. Now, that I have been using Shazam a lot....this is TRULY THE BEST APP I HAVE EVER HAD. OUT OF ALL THE APPS I USE. THIS IS ABSOLUTELY MY FAVORITE ONE. I SWEAR😇.

Keenan Walker July 22, 2017

Shazam often fails in identifying music from new "urban" artists - even those featured on mainstream radio? I sense a cultural bias - esp when established R&B artists are played on TV and Shazam still fails!

Jakub Kuban July 1, 2017

This review has nothing to do with what this app is supposed to do. I downloaded it for promotion run by bulmers where you scan bottle to win 1 bottle free. Bottle scanned, got prompted to link where Im suppose to find out if I won or not. That link leads to bulmers website where you find nothing.

yves durbin July 4, 2017

I love that Shazam is trying to do different things with its app. But in doing so but in doing so they have lost the ability to recognize simple songs played over the radio. I'm heavily considering finding another music app

Prettyred T July 14, 2017

I only downloaded this slow app because track ID is shutting down soon. This app is too damn slow and it doesn't recognize most of my favorite music. Hate it!!

Shazam Entertainment Limited July 18, 2017

Hi Prettyred, Thank you for your feedback. We are sorry that you did not find the song you were looking for. Our teams are working very hard to make our algorithms as smooth as possible making sure this will not happen in the future. Please do not hesitate to email our support team at shazam.support@shazam.com. We would hate to see you go Shazam

Angela Carmouche July 2, 2017

This app doesnt know many songs. It only knows common songs, I need this to tell me a song I dont know. If i It cant do that, what is the point? DELETED

July 9, 2017

I Google this app on what music app doesn't need data,WiFi or INTERNET then I saw it and downloaded it but genus what it needs everything I just listed this is such a dissaponitment cause I thought that I could listen to music with out data, WiFi or INTERNET but now look and it has all my favourait songs so it's just a bummer .

Michelle Bates June 30, 2017

I think its absolutely phenomenal, & probably one of the most consist apps available for free that there is! Spotify would be nothing without Shazam, basing playlist new, or continued is the only way I created my DJ mixes, and genre mix's. Thank u Shazam!

Arbhell Dasmarinas June 30, 2017

Bring back the option where we can shazam songs offline and you can view the song when there's internet. This is what I loved about Shazam but now it's gone. It just keeps asking for internet everytime I open the app.

Chris Brandon July 10, 2017

Very fast and accurate during any part of the song, plus it saves your shazams practically forever so you can look them up later! Love it

July 4, 2017

What the hell i mean when i opened it my tablet stop working for a while and i tried 3 times but it couldnot guess the song bad app ever i hate it

What's New
