I think it's the best invention since LSD, LOL; really, how could somebody be disappointed in Shazam?
When it comes to hip hop or rap music this app is the worse and if anyone posts that it's great or good they are going straight to hell for telling a lie that damn big. Shazam for a long time was the go to app. In less than 3 seconds you'd have your response boy how things have changed. I don't know who or why but someone has really F'd it up. I've posted what the average response is to my music requests.

When it comes to classical music, unless I'm doing something wrong, Shazam will only identify the orchestra or soloist and the title of the work. It doesn't name the composer. I have to take a screenshot and magnify the album cover to find out. Same as Siri. Shame
The lyrics on the page don't match up to the music. Sometimes it works, but it seems more often than not the lyrics are a full measure behind the actual music. This can make it extremely difficult to drive because you're always trying to find where the lyrics are. And it's designed to where you can read the lyrics along with the music in that you cannot scroll up to the beginning of the song without it automatically scrolling back down to where they think the music is. It's very frustrating. One of these days, if it hasn't happened already, someone is going to get into a wreck. They don't care about safety and they don't care about people dying on the road.
Tip for consumers:
It’s a free app. Why are you asking me about shipping and refund policy. If I don’t want the app, I could just delete it. The shipping time was pretty much instantaneous. And how am I going to return something I didn’t pay for this place? IT WAS FREE!!!

Shazam sucks, don't waste your time. Most of the time it can't recognize songs. Totally not worth it
Really sucks… I can't here my songs anymore… it randomly picks songs and plays parts of the song only.
Going to delete the app… to bad it was great….
It doesn't do what it is intended. It's supposed to identify music, but it is crap. Looking for a better option
I used to enjoy being able to link to Google play after listening to a song. Now it's just stupid iTunes. Does anybody still use that? I have to find an alternative. This sucks bad.
I thought this app might be really useful in identifying some tracks I'd heard. Forget it. Unless you're into mainstream pop Shazam is completely dumb. It even struggles with well known hits from the recent past. As for old blues songs or movie themes etc. No chance. In other words it can only recognise stuff that is screamingly obvious anyway. Deleted it and got on with my life.
I remember 10 years ago holding my phone up in a loud restaurant and impressing my friends with the way Shazam could identify a song. Now I can stand two feet away from the speakers and after a minute of waiting I get the Sorry we couldn't quite get that message... and this is on artists like Lucinda Williams, Richard Thompson, and dozens of other artists. 75 percent of the time the song isn't recognized by Shazam. There's no way I would pay for that service. It's apparent they're just trying to sell their little games, etc. The actually, from a technological standpoint, they suck.
Was watching a football game today and an ad came on to shazam this ad to get a free coke zero. Of course the app says cannot record another app is using the microphone. Powered down, restarted. No other apps running. The Speedway by my house sends me coupons for stuff the don't stock. It's cheap to give away stuff you don't have! Uninstalled shazam.
Hi Karl, I'm sorry to hear you had trouble with our app when trying to shazam for a free coke zero. I do hope you've not already uninstalled the app and if you haven't could you please let me know which device you were using?
Has never identified one song yet I have tried over and over and over with the music loud and it still says cannot identify it doesn't work worth a damn
