Not working anymore

I have used it for many years

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!
CCalhau

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!
