Ratings and reviews

I've been a Shazam for a few years now and i enjoy the app a lot. But the issue I'm having is that the notification shazaming feature of the app doesn't permanently stay up. I literally physically have to open the app just to get the notification feature to appear and even then it doesn't stay up for a long period of time. So if there is a way you can make the notification feature permanently stay up all the time I would appreciate it.

That this type of app is still offered for free is appreciated. It recognizes most songs that it should. I wish it included obscure records like international house music songs from the 80's and 90's. But that's a very tall order and no one does that, however it knows most songs that played on the radio, which is good enough!

I dont usually do reviews, but I love the Shazam app. I use it almost every day. Since music is a huge part of everyday life, it's great having a tool to find the one song you hear at the supermarket/restaurant. Or settling a little debate between friends on which song is playing at the bar. One thing that is annoying me is that I have to continuously turn on my settings for the notification bar. When I came to make the review, I noticed I needed to update the app. Hopefully, it helps.

What's new

Our improved watch app now recognizes songs without your phone app. It even works offline too! When you're back online, Shazam will work to find the name of that song. Songs identified also now instantly sync across your devices in real-time.

To get started, simply download the latest version of the Shazam app for your smartwatch.
