Safety starts with understanding how developers collect and share your data. Data privacy and security practices may vary based on your use, region, and age. The developer provided this information and may update it over time.
Still works well most of the time, but has hiccups now and then. Biggest issue is that when it doesn't find a song, I'll use the Google song finder function and it's clear that works much quicker and better than whatever Shazam is built on. Failed Shazam searches turn up in three beats of the song with Google. Volume supposedly too low to get a Shazam result is no issue with Google. I still like the Shazam app and try not to use Google for everything, but they need to step it up.

I'm listening to music internally on my phone using Bluetooth headphones. There's also loud music playing extrrnally (loud gym). I use popup Shazam to identify internal music (what it's supposed to do). It completely ignores my internal music and focuses on what's playing at the gym. Rather than having dedicated buttons for internal vs external music, this app has some nonsensical priority algorithm that you cannot control.

One of few instances where Apple willingly shares a free software for the better of all users, even android. It's free, it gives you a free 2 month membership of Apple Music if you decide to use it, and best of all, you can use it to identify music on videos which otherwise don't credit the music creators. I'm not a fan of Apple, but if they keep making apps like these that are for the better, for everybody, then my outlook on them would significantly increase.
