Moving to Shazam

Zkahdle on

I can’t tell you how many times Shazam can’t find a song and my wife’s Shazam finds it in seconds.

?

sirelvin on

I’ve been a loyal user of this app for years. Suddenly it’s stopped recognizing most songs I search for. I started using Shazam and it has no problem finding the songs. Not sure what caused this app’s decline but it’s unfortunate.

Trash, look elsewhere

jo-par on

SoundHound used to be a great app; now it’s terrible. I’d say, on average, it identifies about 10-15% of music. I went to a Khruangbin (a group that sounds exactly like their albums) concert last week and it couldn’t identify any of their songs. Google does a far better job across the board. Don’t bother with this one.

Booty hole, will suggest endless country songs

DatniggaPerkins on

I was dire need of finding “late night feelings” I was singing, humming no luck. After my wife enlightened me on the song name and artist I tried playing the song on my speaker and seeing if this garbage app could recognize it and of course NOPE. Stay away fro This for groovy electronic music. Use Shazam yall.

Do not get it no good socks, and only old ones

sex🦄🤬🖕🏾 on

This app has no new songs basically all the songs are past 2022 no 2023 2020 for literally everything‘s but after so there’s no new music nothing that likes today’s hate insert kind of just like boring and then he just has add an add a new when you try to like who is this song Garber make it faster going to give your favorite part it is like go to the next song and then the songs and even good like the songs are kind of like mediocre it is kind of boring I got it because I thought I want to be able to learn from my favorite songs songs are from this this year and this past year is like I’m like what how am I supposed to learn my songs if they don’t have them I just got a stupid

What happened?!

Cmhesq on

It no longer finds most songs, and misidentifies others. This was the go-to song recognition app, but something changed.

Well that was worthless

DyreLogan on

Deleted shazam because it couldn't find a simple song, or many songs I tried finding. This app is no different. It too was oblivious as to what was playing. It's a well known movie and well known song and sound hound just couldn't find it. Absolute waste of time and useless app.

NONE OF YOU WORK

Kumeo Kittie on

NOT A SINGLE ONE OF YOU SONG FINDING APPS WORK!

Doesn’t always work

bp662 on

There are times it’s good however too many newer songs it doesn’t recognize.

Very happy with results

Johnny musicboy on

Sound hound has been awesome with recognizing music and it pairs with Apple Music really well I would highly suggest installing
