Shazam

Review by Trenton Whitaker

Shazam is a music app that allows you to find and listen to your favorite songs, watch video clips, and get familiar with the lyrics you were looking for. The app was created by Shazam Entertainment back in 1999. However, the service became available on iOS and Android mobile platforms only in 2018. The app is spread across the world and used by millions of people.

Ease of Use

Shazam has numerous features that require some skills from users. You have to know how to tap the microphone and how to record the music you want to find. After that, you have to listen to various tracks until you find everything you are looking for. The database of the app is over 11 million songs, which is huge. However, you don’t have to worry about the simplicity of use. The app is intuitive and user-friendly. The icons are crystal clear. All the tools are understandable, and the categories are signed. To check out all your possibilities, go to the menu.
