So useful

If you’re the type of person who thinks, “hey, I recognise this!” Or asks “is this the original version?”
This app is essential

Must have app!

This app kills it every time!! Whenever I’m stuck trying to figure out a used sample I come here and they nail it!

Hands down favorite app of all time

I am o b s e s s e d with this app - unbelievable how many hours in futile google searching it’s saved me and it’s honestly my primary music discovery tool at this point too. My friends and I spend hours at a time on it. The search function is so intuitive and user-friendly (+ the listening function w time stamps) it’s almost impossible not to go down a crazy rabbit hole. It’s a fairly simple premise and the earlier versions got the job done just fine, so I think it’s so neat they keep working on it and adding new features.
