## What is Popup Video Music?

Popup Music turns every song into a discovery. Using on‑device recognition, it identifies the track and displays timely pop‑ups with fun facts, trivia, artist insights, cultural nuggets, technical notes, and lyric highlights—synced to your music.

- Real‑time recognition: Fast, accurate song ID powered by Apple’s ShazamKit
- Rich, varied content: Fun Facts, Trivia, Artist/Album Info, Cultural Impact, Technical Analysis, Lyrics Insight
- Smart timing: Dozens of pop‑ups spread across the track, near the full song duration
- Elegant UI: Colorful pop‑ups, clear typography, smooth animations
- Easy controls: Listen, quick rewind/advance, stop, share highlights
- Works anywhere: Radio, streaming, speakers—any audio source

How it works:
- Tap Listen and let the app hear a few seconds of the song
- Enjoy synchronized pop‑ups as the music plays
- Share your favorite highlights with friends

Privacy:
- Microphone is used only to recognize music
- No audio is recorded, stored, or transmitted


## Version history (last 4 releases)

### 3.0 — 2025-08-18

New Features & Improvements 

•   New "Start Listening" Widget
    Get to the music faster! Our new home screen widget lets you start recognizing a song with a single tap.

    How to add the widget:
    1.  Press and hold an empty area on your Home Screen.
    2.  Tap the `+` button in the top-left corner.
    3.  Search for "PopupMusic" and select the widget.

•   A Cleaner, Simpler Look
    We've streamlined the main screen for a more intuitive experience. The "Listen" button is now conveniently located right on the song card, and the "Show Pop-ups" button is bigger and easier to press. Plus, all buttons are now perfectly readable in Dark Mode.

•   Smarter Translations in 33 Languages
    Experience more consistent translations across all supported languages. We've fixed a bug that sometimes showed AI translation notes in your popups and ensured the final "Thank You" message always appears in your chosen language.

•   Website Fixes
    We've resolved issues on our companion website where some song pages weren't loading correctly. Now you can reliably browse all your favorite song facts in English.

### 2.1 — 2025-08-14

- What’s new
  - Faster, more reliable music recognition on iOS. The app now listens briefly and then gets out of the way, so your audio returns to normal quickly.
  - A new “Listen” pill button on the website:
    - Latest Recognized Song
    - Songs list
    - Song detail page
    - Artist page song rows

- How the Listen button works
  - Opens the song directly in Apple Music when possible.
  - Falls back to a Shazam track page.
  - If needed, uses an Apple Music search.

- Fixes and polish
  - Smoother listening flow with fewer interruptions.
  - Small UI refinements across the website for consistency.

- Note
  - While the app is listening, your device may briefly lower other audio. This is normal and lasts only during the short listen.
