Is it just me? ### 5/5 — Replying to Shazam *2026-08-24, version 26.15* Writing about Shazam music Yes indeed 5+ stars. However I hope they have a shared connection with serato music that would be dope ### 5/5 — Fantastic discovery tool *2026-08-24, version 26.15* Brilliant A slight improvement would be for Shazam to be able to see most used folders from private Music providers 🩷🩷😁 ### 5/5 — Works great! *2026-08-24, version 26.15* Always accurate! Great tool to find music. ### 5/5 — Winnie *2026-08-24, version 26.15* This app helped me out so much was wrong.

Thank you Shazam 🫶🏾🙏🏾♥️ ### 5/5 — So easy to use *2026-08-24, version 26.15* I love using Shazam. So easy to use. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — iWatch *2026-08-25, version 26.15* This app used to be great. However, they removed the iWatch functionality. Nearly useless to me now. Very disappointed! ### 1/5 — Bad *2026-08-25, version 26.15* Wasn’t working): ### 1/5 — Useless *2026-08-24, version 26.15* One of the most useless apps I have on my device. Wasting time just to get you to a track that’s not even close or same genre! It failed to give me the right answer for more than 200 tracks. I tested it all the time, clearly and what I get every time “This is very difficult, try again… etc”, just wasting time! Not accurate and giving false information and misleading! Even when I test it with something I knew very much I get the wrong answer! You should update it, work on it and make it more accurate! Otherwise, it’s just taking a space on my device but sitting there just useless, no benefit of it at all! Thanks! ### 1/5 — Не находит песню *2026-08-23, version 26.15* Раньше возможно было послушать трек , а сейчас вообще убрали , верните треки пожалуйста! ### 1/5 — Not as useful *2026-08-23, version 26.15* Couldn’t help me find the song I was looking for at all. I genuinely thought it was me at first, maybe I remembered wrong or something. Because of this, I wanted to test it out, so I started singing “Ain’t no mountain high enough” but not even that worked ### 1/5 — Useless app 😾🤮🤮🤮🤮 *2026-08-23, version 26.12* I was so excited to test the new app and then it kept on saying we could not find the song 🎧 and I tried another song and it still said we could not find the song and I was so disappointed 😔 do not download! 1/10 ( and the song was winter bear 🐻) ### 1/5 — Bring back notifications *2026-08-23, version 26.15* It’s beyond annoying that Shazam removed notifications. I don’t care that you can see your history by using a shortcut to open Shazam from the control centre. It’s not the same. At least bring it back as an OPTION people can opt into if they want it. I liked having a permanent notification in the Notification Centre with the song that I could go back to later and not an annoyingly brief 2 second pop up that only shows on the Dynamic Island before disappearing forever. Every time I use Shazam now I just get annoyed. ### 1/5 — Lírica *2026-08-23, version 26.15* No sale la lírica ### 1/5 — Useless *2026-08-23, version 26.15* Terrible! Doesn’t recognize Tragically Hip music! ### 1/5 — Barely works *2026-08-22, version 26.15* Keep identifying the wrong song. The app is useless ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Love it ! *2026-08-25, version 26.15* Always love Shazam… what a great app ! 😍 ### 5/5 — Truly AMAZING! *2026-08-25, version 26.15* How do they do this? If I had to go to my record collection, get the record out, and look for the name of a song, I couldn’t do it near as quickly as Shazam can. And all genres. Really unbelievable. ### 5/5 — Good *2026-08-25, version 26.15* Good ### 5/5 — Great app *2026-08-25, version 26.15* Using for years now. Adds songs to Apple Music. Love it! ### 5/5 — Love this app *2026-08-25, version 26.15* My favorite tool for finding obscure songs in public spaces ### 5/5 — No where *2026-08-25, version 26.15* This is kinda amazing to the point that I really want to love this thing that is hanging down mysteriously on me right here and it’s just like the first time I’ve been able get to this place so far but it’s still not there and it’s so beautiful but it’s just so cool to be alive ### 5/5 — Wowser *2026-08-25, version 26.15* Every ting ### 5/5 — Amazing *2026-08-25, version 26.15* I’m really amazed with how it picks up songs, even ones that are obscure ### 5/5 — Shazam *2026-08-25, version 26.15* I have loved this app for many years ### 5/5 — Can't do without *2026-08-25, version 26.15* I have found some of the best music using Shazam.
