Anyone noticed Shazam doesn't work anymore?

[TH55]

It hasn't for a while, very frustrating. It was such a good app. Anyone know what happened?

I use it with some frequency, mine hasn't stopped working AFAIK[?] In fact, I used it on Sunday (12/3) at a dance recital because I wanted to know who was doing a particular version of a Christmas song. Worked exactly as expected (and it's right there in My Shazams).

For reference: iPX running 11.2

Not entirely sure why yours isn’t working . Used it yesterday and it worked fine

I fell for it. You made me check mine. It works fine even with Siri amazingly, hasn't ever not worked ever as far as I can tell and running 11.2. Reinstall app?

I used Shazam on Monday, worked fine, iOS 11.2 on an iPhone SE.

I use Shazam occasionally. I have found it works but not as well as it used to. It's ability to determine the song etc... has decreased noticeably. For me this was iOS 10 and beyond. I have been using Google for this feature as I have found it works better than Shazam.

Still, I try Shazam every now and then.

Works fine. Never an issue.

I alwasy used SoundHound over Shazam. Alwasy worked for me. I have Shazam and it works though.

I just checked and it is working fine on my phone on 11.2

 

[Starship67]

Worked for me too. Seems to only be you.

What happens when you try to use it?

Definitely works for me.

It doesn’t work obviously. LOL

 

[iphone1027]

Worked for me. used it about an hour ago.

 

[braddick]

I've always used Soundhound. Is there a difference between the two?

 

[sdwaltz]

Works for me.

Well, true. However, the specific non-operational behavior might be a clue as to a solution.

Does it just not run, i.e., you tap it starts to open and just quits out to the springboard?

Does it appear to listen, but never return any results ("Can't match")

Is there some microphone issue? Permissions and/or restrictions?

In my admittedly limited and infrequent use, Shazam often identifies songs that Soundhound fails at.

Can't match, launches fine

Can't match, launches fine

Does it seem that it's actually listening (and has microphone access)? Have you tried reinstalling the app? Restarting the device?

What device and iOS version are we talking about?

6S running 10.2, I'm jailbroken but it worked poorly when I was stock too.

They are generally the same but Soundhound can recognize it if you hum it. SH was more accurate too especially foreign songs.

I went back to using Shazam though. It's the ad-free one on Android since Google Assistant couldn't recognize songs while I had the Pixel on 7.1.2. On iOS, I use Siri to do it. Shazam isn't downloaded on my iPhone.
