Mr Soni

Dear develpoper, Thanks for making such a wonderful app. Absolutely useful. I use it frequently. But Let we Shazammed more than 200 songs And we need a song for lyrics Then it is very difficult to find the song in that big list. So try to arrange the previous shazaamed in alphabetical order. They are currently in order by date when they were Shazammed. Hope u be noticing my mention.

Ja Rivers

Thanks, but just one problem. It recognizes songs like a charm even with mild background noise. Comes in handy in a hurry even though the mall but the only thing that I can't get it to work is connecting to my Spotify account it says that it added the songs to My Shazam playlist but I check the play list and it hasn't added them. It used to but today I already tried resetting my phone giving it time to sync and even logged off and on again. Is it a bug?

Love this App! I really like the link to Spotify and My Shazam Playlist. I wish it had the ability to recognize previously Shazam'd songs though so I don't end up with duplicate songs in my playlist. More sort filters would be good as well.

Now...I give a 3 star for the following reason.. I used old version of Shazam and it was great.. New version, also great.. Found what I was looking for reasonably fast BUT is Shazam not supposed to be able to play the song? I can find the songs but can't listen to any.. Gives me 2 options... Play in Apple App or play in Deezer, even downloaded Deezer and nothing ... Perhaps I just can't figure that part out but that is a little frustrating! If I can figure out how to actually play the music before it bothers me to no end , I'll rate it 5 star.. Can someone please advise me?

I absolutely adore this app. Discover new music. Shazam a song you hear that you like Search top charts or what's hot in different cities all over the planet. Don't leave home without it. Pinky swear

Deon Appelcryn

This app is the best idea ever and has worked like wonders since i downloaded. But since upgrading to new version it keeps saying im offline and you guys are not supporting and replying to my messages. So its actually irritating me now

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

Carmen Smith June 23, 2017

If you were sent here to get more followers...DON'T INSTALL! it's a scam! Your helping them get money! I reported the instagram account, I hope it disappears!

Larz Menda June 23, 2017

Shazam is great.. But one thing I'd like you guys to include in the next update is... if we can be able to download songs from the app once we find them

Nooraida Rosita Diana June 17, 2017

Disappointed. Can't recognise Japanese songs :'( I'm searching for one of Love Live (Idol Anime) song its keep playing on my head but i don't know the tittle, i thought this app can't help me but mehh 😯

Dominique Johnson June 23, 2017

I love this app and have used it for years but recently it's not recognizing any songs playing around me, even with the volume on high. Never had this problem until recently

kotevi89 June 11, 2017

oh my god 😍 so much better than i expected. this app can do everything. wonderful. thank you so much. so helpful ❤

June 24, 2017

Awesome app. One problem, how do I listen to music in Google Play Music from Shazam? Only gives me option of Apple Music and Deezer...

Simran Sandhu June 9, 2017

This app sucks big time. No matter how many times I try to recognise a song with the help of this app it keeps on saying argh.., oops.., eww.., i even try to reach to the speakers most of the times but it just doesn't give any results. Don't understand why it keeps on getting updates when it just doesn't work. 👎 Improve it!

David Widdowson June 10, 2017

I like it but..... I wish that when it can't recognise a song, it would stop telling me to 'get closer to the sound' Most of the time I am as close as I can already get, even only a millimeter away from the speaker. Why can't it just admit that it doesn't know it, without blaming me?

Josh Bower June 15, 2017

I have never had this successfully identify a song or background music for me in my life! It's been years and it's never done what it said it'd do, annoying.

June 12, 2017

Sometimes app refuse to work offline. From time to time it will show splash screen "Setting up Shazam". If you will be offline during that time, it won't record anything, only will complain about internet connection. I couldn't figure out why this splash screen appears or when. So it's pretty random. Also, there is no option to change email address or disconnect fb account. No account management at all. Also no export, if you decide to change account using another email, then you will need to export your data somehow. It's a pain...

Shazam Entertainment Limited May 12, 2017

Hi Andrew, You can still Shazam when you are offline. We will save the track and then show you the result once you go back online.

Jaco Steyn June 19, 2017

I shazamed the same song 5 times. Each time it gave me different results, none of which were NEAR the original song title. Eventually I phoned a friend who gave me the title, artist and even on which cd's it came out on

PariSsa Goodarzi June 23, 2017

Its perfect!!! It litteraly saved my life😂😂 Ive been searching for songs always and trying hard to find them and now its aoooooo easy!! Thanks Shazam!! Im so excited about this app

IC Harris June 23, 2017

Works 4/me Lover of music, appreciate Spotify connect to add to my playlist & lyrics🤗

kedar kotkunde June 24, 2017

My favorite app ..only problem with video player. It's very slow on my Device. Sometimes unresponsive. Make it better video player.

Andy Chuang June 19, 2017

Works okay. Not the most accurate, but can identify about 70% of songs. When linked to Spotify though, would be great if clicking the Spotify button brings you directly to the song instead of "searching" for it, as Shazam sometimes uses English names (or transliteration) for the songs, while Spotify uses its original name. This is a problem for about 90% of the Chinese songs I have identified so far.

Hayley Baker June 14, 2017

I like it, it's handy. Only complaint is every time I try & connect with Spotify it says "can't connect, try again later". It's been a few weeks now...

Michel K June 12, 2017

Doesn't recognize most of my songs. Does work offline ("airplane mode"), but does NOT work when the internet connection is bad. It should also save the track for when the connection is better !

Kryptic Reaper June 15, 2017

Love it, discovering music has never been so easy. Usually you have that friend that knows all songs, but what if he doesn't know one?? SHAZAM!

reuven w June 15, 2017

The app is almost useless now. It doesn't recognize any song any more. Too bad! It used to be very good at recognizing the music. Then all of a sudden it draws a blank! on all songs!

Victoria Griggs June 23, 2017

Luv music. Hearing new songs all the time, thank you for helping me find the artist

A Google User June 18, 2017

Should be called the No Result app. I get a successful tag about 5% of th3 time. Pointless app that does nothing.

Keenan naidoo June 14, 2017

This app is usually very useful to me but recently there's a sort of pop up notification that comes up every 3-5 seconds even after acknowledging the pop up and closing it, making it very annoying to use the app. Please fix this as I really do like this app

Best Hero 1 June 9, 2017

Please add a download button on the top right corner to install the song, instead of the whole process to get it from youtube.... Really useful trust me... (^◡^ )

Jamie Lange June 12, 2017

Does what it does without a problem. Only reason for omitting 1 star is it doesn't do out of this world things.

KingPieMal June 9, 2017

This app can't discover instrumental music like kevin macleod song. If i watch the video in shazam , it always turn off my screen like , prevent this App from turning off the screen, they didn't have it.

Karl Heinz June 20, 2017

Just performed latest update and Shazam no longer takes you to full video and details as it did before. Screen just goes blank.

Moh. Ramdhani Satriawan June 11, 2017

I've been used this app more than 2years and this is very useful. but you can make it better and better because I think the last version is better than now. can you solve the problem? thanks.

Samantha Collins June 11, 2017

I love Shazam.. But it would be so much more awesome if there was a search head that just floats on your home screen that you can press to Shazam a song without going into the app.. It'd be even more awesome if you could do it with the screen locked!

Richa Maryandina June 22, 2017

It will be better if I can download the song immedietly after I found it with this app

Abdelrhman Tarek June 14, 2017

The app is awesome in everything but it need to be more speedy🐢and fast 🐢and has more animation to be great at all btw Thanks team Shazam for work hard to make it easy for us n 😉👌really care for app speed little👍

Tushar chaudhary June 22, 2017

Used to be good , Now its garbage. Doesn't find accurate results & even prompts you to buy that inaccurate songs.

Colleen Carroll June 15, 2017

App is a necessity! Amazing!!! Tags your songs less than 5 seconds most of the time almost all the time. Couple buttons n bam u got that tracks title to DL

Mark Elfering June 9, 2017

I don't remember why I have this app, and now it's added a huge icon or widget or whatever but I can't get rid of it. So, this app is getting uninstalled. Invasive much??
