User Reviews

Reviews praise the app’s robust music identification and rich now-playing display, plus deep metadata and Last.fm integration. The ongoing development and responsive support add to its appeal, and it can be a good value for heavy users. However, reliability problems are a major drag: frequent crashes and the app not updating Now Playing, sometimes making it unusable. Subscription options are confusing, with missing monthly payments and some features gated behind paywalls. Device compatibility and stability improvements are the most common requests to unlock its full potential.

Pros

Comprehensive music identification and listening history via SongDisplay, combining Shazam-like ID with Last.fm tracking.
Beautiful, feature-rich now-playing display, especially on iPad and when mirrored to Apple TV.
Access to deep track/artist metadata not available in Shazam, plus a History feature that preserves listening data.
Active development and responsiveness to user feedback.
Good value for heavy users.

Cons

Frequent stability issues: crashes or unreliable operation.
Now Playing often fails to update with song changes, requiring app restart.
Confusing subscription options, with monthly payments not available.
Some features are limited or gated behind paywalls (e.g., trivia).
Compatibility concerns: requires iOS 17 or newer and limited support on older devices.

I used to use the listening function to identify songs. This function doesn’t work anymore. It just opens the settings for the app. I already have all the permissions allowed in settings but the listen function isn’t working anymore. Please fix this issue.

This is a great app when it works. The problem is it doesn’t work more times it does work. I usually use the song display and it’s forever searching. I really want to use this app, but I can’t depend on it
