Leave a Review WhoSampled
MUST READ
I’d like to say that not only do you need the $3.99 to buy the app and use it for minimal things such as a few lyrics to find a song and that’s about it. You’re almost forced to spend the extra $9.99 to allow it to use your microphone to listen, pretty much the whole purpose of downloading the FREE app called “Shazam”. I tried this app thinking it could find sampled songs but if you’re into more underground music you’ll find nothing, fan-made, unreleased, leaked, unfinished, etc… You’ll only find completely published and sometimes a song name with an “unknown artist”. The last amazing feature is how after being so dissatisfied and wanting a refund, the app refuses to let me contact any staff relating to this joke of an app. I hope whoever reads this enjoys my aggravating experience and goes to soundcloud, google, shazam, anything else.Show lessDeveloper Response
Hi, we're sorry to hear that you're unhappy with your purchase. The app is forever ad free and allows you to perform a text search for the samples, covers and remixes in over 1 million songs, at no additional cost. The audio recognition feature specifically is available under an additional subscription, and we try to make that very clear in the app's description and screenshots. All other unique features, such as Spotify and Apple Music library scanning, are included in the app without a subscription. We hope you give the app another try and find it useful after all, but if not, you can request a refund from the App Store. If you ever need to contact us, you can do so via the Settings tab in the app, or write to us at support@whosampled.com. Best regards, WhoSampled Support“tap to listen” feature absolutely useless
i wrote a review before, but wanted to give the app a second chance. i wish i didn’t.
so i went ahead and paid for the stupid “tap to listen” feature and quickly found out that it only detects songs that are already in the whosampled database. if someone hasn’t already reported a specific song’s samples on the website, then therefore the app can’t tell you what samples are in it.
so my question is, why pay $9 for this feature when you could just shazam the song for FREE and then look up the song on the whosampled website.
useless feature and i wish i could get my $9 back.
just save yourself the time and phone storage, stick to the whosampled website. their site is wonderful but this app is useless.Show lessDeveloper Response
Hi, we're sorry to hear that you're unhappy with your purchase. The app is forever ad free (unlike our website) and allows you to perform a text search for the samples, covers and remixes in nearly 1 million songs, at no additional cost. The audio recognition feature specifically is subject to an optional subscription (to cover our direct costs in providing it to you), and we try to make that very clear in the app's description and screenshots. All other features, such as Spotify and Apple Music library scanning, are included in the app without a subscription and not available on our website. We hope you give the app another try and find it useful after all, but if not, you can request a refund from the App Store. Best regards, WhoSampled Supportyou’ve gotta be kidding me
so first of all you’re paying $4 for an app which gives you the same functionality as the free website.
you have to pay an EXTRA 9.99 per year to use the apps main advertised function, which is finding samples in songs playing near you using the iphone microphone.
what a money grab!!! if you’re going to do that, why not just make the base app free to download??
how scummy.
so disappointedShow lessDeveloper Response
