Scan doesn’t work lol
Response from developer
Hi, we're sorry to hear you're experiencing issues with the app. We're not aware of any issues with any of the scanning features in the app, so can you please write to us via the Settings tab in the app so we can help you troubleshoot? Thanks, WhoSampled Support
I feel dirty using this app
Lacking essential features,
- Can’t submit newly identified samples through the app. How is this not one of the main features?? They should have this feature along with the option to save drafts prior to submission
- No filter or sort options for searches (genre, sample type, exclude words in search, sort by year, filter by year range etc.)
- No dark mode
Other comments:
- The animation when switching between the song and the sampled song is so annoying. Please make it one smooth transition instead of pausing in the middle
- One feature that is ridiculous is the one where they pull in audio previews for sample listings from Apple Music and they specifically state “accuracy might vary” and whoo boy, yes it does vary. On the website it’s manually entered in so the audio previews are precise and usually plays at the correct timestamp even (depends on the source).

Thanks for the detailed feedback. We'll try to respond to all your comments: - Submission is a detailed and sensitive process, so we only allow it on desktop in order to reduce the chances of errors that are commonly associated with the use of mobile devices (such as autocorrect errors and typos) - Advanced search is something that we'd be looking to add in the future, though it doesn't seem to be a particularly commonly requested feature coming from our community - Dark mode is something we're looking at - You don't have to wait for the animation between the two sides, you can just swipe - Apple Music streaming can be switched off in the Settings tab, allowing you to view the manually curated streams as on the website. Unfortunately we aren't in direct control of the accuracy of the automatic matching, as the responses come from Apple Music
Love this app
Response from developer
Thanks for the nice review! Your support is greatly appreciated.
Best $3 every spent. But…
Thank you. No more web browsing now i got you.
Response from developer
Thanks for your kind words and suggestions. We'll consider them for future updates of the app.
They do not check new submissions.
Response from developer
Hi, we keep verifying submissions continuously, currently adding over 100,000 new songs a year to the database. We get thousands of submissions every week so some have to wait longer than others to be verified, but we do get round to all of them. Best regards, WhoSampled Support
I really regret with this app
Response from developer
Hi, our database includes over 1,098,000 songs and is growing rapidly every day. We do have wide coverage for music that is exclusive to Bandcamp, and that keeps growing. If we don't yet include the song you are looking for, you can try again in the future as it might get added later on. Best regards, WhoSampled Support
Network error??
Response from developer
We're sorry to hear that you're experiencing this issue. We haven't received any other similar complaints, so it sounds like this is specific to your device. Can you please get in touch with us at support@whosampled.com so we can help you troubleshoot? Thanks, WhoSampled Support
MUST READ
Response from developer
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
It’s good, but Is it worth 5 Dollars?
It’s like a slice of blueberry pie in my mouth. I truly believe it to be the height of man’s intuition. Perhaps the apex of God’s creation, among his highest blessings unto his chosen people, a testament to his goodness and divine love. This is the magnum opus of our generation.
Not only does it find every song with any relation to those in your catalogue (sampled by, samples, covers, remixes)- it has all artists and every song they are ever featured on, as well as every song they’ve ever produced. You don’t understand the gravity of this- EVERY SONG KANYE HAS EVER PRODUCED. Tidily arranged in one spot for your listening pleasure. Furthermore, when you find a song you like, the app works wonderfully in tandem with both Apple Music and Spotify. You don’t have to open Spotify, search the song, and add it to your playlist. You can add it directly from the app.
These are the important features but as a little bonus, you can join discussions about your favourite samples and gush over the sheer genius in production with other likeminded folk.
After creating my first playlist with WhoSampled, I was swept up to such a peak of endorphins and serenity that when I finally reached a climactic point in my ecstasy, the resulting valley of emotion left me bedridden with depression for a month.
They will hook me up to a polygraph and ask me if I love WhoSampled and I will say no but the needle will sputter and cough the way my heart does when I open the app.
If there is one WhoSampled lover in the world, it is me. If there are billions, I am among the masses. If there are none, I am dead.
