Shazam Encore App Reviews

Currently Nonfunctional

In line with others reviews, one of the more recent updates essentially rendered the app nonfunctional. Additionally, after having used the app for years, theres no longer any point for new users to spend money on this paid version given the lack of attention/effort put on fixing all current issues. Summary of issues: - fundamental feature of ID-ing songs no longer works.. I get an "offline" error message anytime I try & app no longer stores the recording samples for ID later on wifi - Spotify feature was awesome at first, but, like all the other features, it no longer works - limited/unreliable support for Apple Music (& NO support for Apple Watch per other reviewers) - free version is tended to more than this paid version

Was once simple, now too cluttered

I hate what this app has turned into. I recently went to redownload this app and found it so cluttered and bloated. Not to mention its 9MB less in file size with the free version of Shazam. Why? I paid for this app to get rid of distractions- at the time which were ads. Now that distraction is music feeds, sharing this and that on social media, tabs Ill never use, trending songs, artist following, notifications on what jimmy or Jane likes. Its ugly and annoying. What happened to the bare bones version we all loved in 2009??? I would *sigh* pay yet again to have a version of this app STRIPPED DOWN of all the junk and just focus on finding my music and putting it down on a list so I can buy it later. Its all I need as a 22-year old, technically inclined, non-life-revolving-around-social media- individual. Cmon Shazam....

Id give 0 stars if I could...

Ever since the last update the app is useless. It gets stuck on the listening screen and does absolutely nothing.

Buggy

Still kind of mad at how buggy it was for a while.

Offline

Recently and Im not sure why at least half the time I try to tag a song it takes forever to listen and then to send and then it tells me Im offline?? Not happy with it right now...

Needs to fix major bug in latest update

I have loved this app since it first debuted on iPhone. It is my go-to music identification app. Sadly, the latest version (9.4.1) introduced a bug(s) that cause a slow "Listening" and "Sending" and then I am told I am not connected. This occurs while I am on cellular or WiFi, even after phone reboot and app reinstall.

An unbeatable feature

I think the auto shazam feature keeps it above the rest of the competition

Horrible

Will not recognize even the most popular old songs. From the 50s and 60s. Continuously wont work in my car. Im really sick of this app. Looking for a better one.

Must have app.

Very useful when you want to find songs that playing in coffee shops, pubs and other public places. 99% of time it will work and show you the correct song. You can save song to Spotify if you have Spotify account.

Love it!

It works like a dream, even in some mighty noisy environments.

Slow and inaccurate

The feature to add songs to Apple music playlist is not working. Also, when trying to listen in Apple music it directs me to the wrong track

Worthless

App used to work well, now it is garbage.

Searching My Shazams

The app functions well. However, the main feature I miss from recent releases is the ability to search only in My Shazams. The current search returns too many results, many of which are irrelevant to me. Please reinstate the search feature from within the My Shazams area.

Bloated app

This app is heavily bloated and lost its track, It used to be simple & practical and buy with iTunes button is gone.

Hate new upgrade

Havent explored the new upgrade but What happened to the lyrics? Are they elsewhere the main reason why I even have Shazam is because of the lyrics....bring them back if they were removed please!!
