Listening function stopped working

I used to use the listening function to identify songs. This function doesn’t work anymore. It just opens the settings for the app. I already have all the permissions allowed in settings but the listen function isn’t working anymore. Please fix this issue.

Awesome when it works, but the problem is…

This is a great app when it works. The problem is it doesn’t work more times it does work. I usually use the song display and it’s forever searching.
I really want to use this app, but I can’t depend on it

Tolles Tool

Sehr vielfältige Anwendung. Könnte noch mehr Fans erhalten, wenn noch weitere Sprachen dazu kommen würden. Zum Beispiel Deutsch.

Response from developer

Vielen Dank für die freundlichen Worte! Der einzige Grund, warum wir nicht mehr Sprachen unterstützen, ist, dass ein Großteil der Inhalte in anderen Sprachen nicht verfügbar ist. Dies würde etwas seltsam aussehen, wenn ein Teil auf Englisch und ein Teil auf Deutsch ist. Wir ziehen es in Betracht, dies in Zukunft zu ändern, da wir gerne mehr Menschen helfen würden, neue Musik in jeder Sprache zu entdecken.

Ein Satz mit X…

Ich kann die positiven Bewertungen leider überhaupt nicht nachvollziehen. Zumindest für die von mir gehörten Musiktitel nahezu ohne jeglichen Wert. Lediglich das Einblenden des Covers ist wirklich zu wenig.
Ich höre viel Jazz und Musik aus so ziemlich allen anderen Genres abseits des Mainstream.
Dazu liefert die App in etwa 9 von 10 Fällen keine zusätzlichen Informationen.
Leider keine Möglichkeit eines Probeabos - so ärgere ich mich schon ein wenig über die für einen Monat sinnlos investierten 2,99€.
Direkt wieder gelöscht!
Dann doch lieber selbst im Netz nach gewünschten Informationen (Musiker, Komponist, Produzent, etc.) suchen!

Excellent Design, but Issues Remain

It’s been a while since I’ve come across an app that truly reflects the developer’s passion for design. Among music-related apps, the design quality here really stands out.
The Achievement feature is nothing short of an invention—I hope to see more of these added in the future.

This is a truly wonderful app, but at the same time I feel there are still some issues that need to be addressed.

Needs Improvement:
A loading screen appears every time you navigate between pages. This significantly harms the user experience.

Bugs:
- When opening Apple Music or Marvis from NowPlaying, the app sometimes opens the wrong album.
- Using “Open in Marvis Pro” often results in the error: “Unable to find the Album on Apple Music.”
- Selecting “Open in Soor” opens Apple Music instead of Soor.
- The menu that should appear when long-pressing lyrics flashes and disappears immediately.

Feature Request:
It would be very helpful for non-English-speaking users if a “Translate” option were added to the text long-press menu.

Thank you for considering these points.

Great tool for music explorers

NowPlaying takes music discovery to a new level. From an "Album of the Day" to a regularly updated "record box" that you can browse through to suggestions of similar music, you can immerse yourself in a world of music in a playful way. The best thing is of course the "Now Playing" feature, which provides information on the current album and artists. The app is not for organising music - there are better things to do that. The focus is clearly on discovery - and I haven't found anything comparable yet.
