Shazam: Find Music & Concerts

👍🏻

Wonderful app, thanks to people who made it.

Sorry, but very poor recognition of songs..🙂

Thank you for creating such useful app. I found so far 99% of the songs I was looking for. Great app!

Fast way for you music memories

Best app ever

enjoying for years

Although my review may seem long-winded, it could tread on the elephant's tail. The first time I used the app after it got busy working hard to identify a tune, it took Arthur Schnabel's performance of Beethoven's Piano Sonata No. 23 for Florent Boffard's rendition. Also, it appears to produce different results depending on whether it's started from the Control center or the app itself but also on several relaunches within a short span. To illustrate this, with Bach's Fugue in C from Well-Tempered Klavier vol. I played by Wanda Landowska, the app reported EA Orchestra as a performer, and the Control Center widget yielded the correct artist the next time. As to the service's irks it seems its weakness lies in the realm of Classical music. Otherwise, why would it miss the mark by wrongly recognizing Branches Break by Gogo Penguin instead of Franz Liszt's Deuxiemme Annee - Italie - Canzonetta del Salvator Rosa by Lazar Berman? Lately, it blundered over "Hold the Line" by Toto because of a different performer, a robot band ("One Hacker Band" making educational videos) using physical musical instruments and a human-like voice. In another stunt, it stubbornly insisted it didn't know the answer, despite the song and the classical work being recordings of living humans with the highest probability of being included in the Apple Music catalogue except for the pitch they were reproduced at by playing my copies. That begs the question: is Apple matching melodies only against its Apple Music database, i.e. licenced performers, to nudge a user to buy the song on Apple Music? If that's the case, what could the consequences be as to the reliability of results to convince us the app isn't trickery?

there's a video with an artist and song title known. i wanted to shazam it so that it's saved to my library and i can find the name later. but shazam "guessed" it wrong 9 times in a row! not once was it correct. after that, i just gave up. i didn't want to see and find the record i might get of non-recognition - i suspect the number might be "infinity". it used to be better.
