Cannot share songs to Facebook on iPhone

App correctly identifies songs but will not allow me to share to Facebook.

I have removed the app from both my iPhone and iPad and will not reinstall them until this is fixed.

Very low recognition rate

It barely finds anything, about 40-50% of what Shazam is able to recognize.

O MELHOR!

Para mim trás resultados melhores que o Shazam!

It used to be good, not anymore 😢

I really loved it but lately it doesn’t recognize what Shazam does: too bad because Shazam push you to get Apple Music and it’s really annoying. Please fix your database, 🙏. We rely on you! Please!

Used to be ok now it sucks

Not sure what they’ve done lately but barely finds any songs. Unless you’re looking for US popular radio songs, you’re out of luck. It’s useless.
