When this app fails to identify a song i then try Shazam and its identified in a couple of seconds. May. As well delete it and just use Shazam. ### 1/5 — Trash *2025-07-17, version 3.0.3* Somehow misidentified “Living on a Prayer” as a bunch of random Japanese songs. Literally how? ### 1/5 — Cancellation help *2023-08-01, version 3.0.3* I have tried to cancel this before my auto renewal date and none of the links or email addresses provided work. I DO NO WANT to be charged for monthly subscription because I COULD NOT cancel before deadline. HELP!!! ### 5/5 — Yemen *2023-07-24* I have had many apps like this and this one is my favourite!! Quick and easy to use :) I use this to find the films soundtracks احب التطبيق هذا استخدامه سهل ويعطيك الاغنيه في ثواني بس ### 1/5 — Terrible *2023-07-06, version 3.0.3* What a pointless app can’t identify 1 song waste of time & memory DELETE ### 1/5 — Poor capacity *2023-01-29, version 3.0.3* Since few years, i have very poor results, even no result. Deezer doing the job, so i remove the app. ### 2/5 — WTH *2022-11-30, version 3.0.3* Worked great, then all of a sudden , when you open the app it just closes. ### 1/5 — Terrible *2022-10-20, version 3.0.3* Rubbish, take forever to identify a song even then it couldn’t recognise the music....... i tried it multiple times but it can’t ### 1/5 — Don’t pay for this app. *2022-02-25, version 3.0.3* If you can’t identify Mr. Crowley what good are you? No good is the answer. ### 1/5 — Found only wrong matches for all the songs I tried. *2021-09-06* What more is there to say? I tried several different songs. I tried singing, playing them from a recording, humming (and I CAN carry a tune). I tried older and more recent stuff. Nothing match correctly. I tried the same song 5 or 6 times and it gave me a different match every time (though to be fair, maybe that's how is supposed to work if you play the same song again -- maybe it's supposed to realize that you're trying again because it wasn't a match...) Anyway, just didn't work for me at all. ## Frequently asked questions about MusicID ### What does MusicID do? MusicID instantly identifies music playing around you.
