At the same time it turned from “tap to listen, here you go” to a sluggish af and ads-infested bloatware. I remember when I stopped using it and deleted the app because my prev-gen iphone couldn’t load it in time anyway.
- gniv 3y agoThese days you don't need the app. You can put it in the control center and just push the button to listen.
- jedrek 3y agoRight now it's integrated with siri so you just hold down your power button and say, "what is this song?" and it tells you.
- wodenokoto 3y agoWhat are you on about? There’s no ads in Shazam. You just open the app and it starts searching. No need for even tapping a button.
- ahartmetz 3y agoI actually went back to Shazam from SoundHound (on Android). Yeeears back, SoundHound had some advantage, I forget which. Now, Shazam starts in a second (just tried it, never used since last reboot) and SoundHound in like 15 (from memory). Inexcusable in general and for that kind of app in particular.
- roelschroeven 3y agoI seem to remember Soundhound claimed (and maybe still claims) to be able to work not only on recorded music, but when you whistle/hum/sing a song. I never had much luck with that, but that could be because of my lack of musical talent. What Soundhound does these days that Shazam doesn't (I think; I haven't actually tried Shazam in a long time) is that it displays lyrics for many songs, and is often able to synchronize those lyrics with where you are in the song.
- Symbiote 3y agoShazam has shown synchronized lyrics for many years.
- roelschroeven 3y agoThanks for the correction.
- hbs18 3y agoOn iPhones you can add a Shazam-powered music recognition quick toggle which acts just as you described.
