About Shazam
Shazam is a music recognition app. Hold your phone up to a song playing nearby and it listens, matches the audio and shows the title, artist and lyrics where available. It keeps a history of everything you identify and can link out to streaming services to play or save the track.
The app is owned by Apple. It is very popular on both platforms, with more than 500 million downloads on Google Play and nearly nine million ratings on the App Store at a 4.9 average. The App Store release notes remind users to turn on iCloud sync in Settings to keep their Shazam history in sync between devices.
Shazam is free to use. The Android listing shows neither ads nor in-app purchases. It suits anyone curious about a song they hear in a shop, film or café. It needs a microphone and an internet connection to match tracks. You can use it without an account, though syncing history across devices relies on an Apple account on iOS.
A quick, reliable utility. Keep the microphone permission on or it cannot hear the music.
