Shazam Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

• 
  Born To Boogie - Marc Bolan Archive (@GlamRockMarc) reported 2 minutes ago

  📆 April 19, 2002, “Jeepster” by T. Rex became the first song successfully identified by Shazam. This happened during a pre-launch test of the service, which at the time required users to call a phone number and receive the song title via text message. The company, now owned by Apple, has since developed technology capable of identifying billions of songs.

  Had negligible involvement with Flash ,AM 2 , Blue Beetle , Shazam 2 all projects green lit before he arrived and mostly shot CC didn’t fail Peacemaker season 2 only had a finale problem Supergirl is the only failure It’s funny you don’t give him credit for Penguin’s success

  @dailystarzam Retire Billy, have the Shazam mantel be passed down every couple years, because Billy staying a child ruins any semblance of a timeline. Also Shazam is a cool name

  @DeathMetalV Maybe because too many of a certain kind of person were raised on reading science fiction where any inconvenient plot problem can be solved by simply making something up that's never existed before. Shazam! Problem solved!

  @JOKAQARMY1 Man, how many bottles of water does Siri consume? Let’s be real here we have had Ai since Shazam and Siri, so why is it not the biggest issue when it’s adapting to everyday life

  @the_Bradster007 The problem is that there isn’t nearly enough interest in Shazam, Cyborg, Flash, Aquaman, or Green Lantern compared with all of the Marvel super heroes. This was sadly destined to fail

  almost 2 years ago, someone walking by was trying to shazam beat up chanels as i was listening to it first time w my windows down at a red light

  @ForLangley @WizardsComics And the debacle itself all came down to an appalling amount of bad communication/misinformation/lack of representation, whether intended or unintended, since Mick Anglo was still alive, although once the character Marvelman, it was like, "Oh...British Captain Marvel/Shazam.."

  Shazam might be the only app that solves an actual problem people ever developed but Instagram allowing you to add music to your Spotify liked songs without switching apps is right up there too

  when did shazam become so terrible? it’s literally unable to recognise “titanium” playing directly from the speaker although when i was kid i could start to sing and it would easily find the song

  @charles_o90392 @DeIudedShaniqwa @gofundme Shazam cracka! Then so did Karmelo’s. They didn’t take his **** down. Keep your fingers crossed tho.

  @RaminNasibov @TheBookofG1nk0 I downloaded Merlin but it will absolutely not work unless you give location permissions which is not cool. I mean it listens through mic AND tracks location. Privacy issue. Someone needs to invent a competitor that makes it optional! Bird Shazam on demand w/ manual loc data

  MER∆KI (@MerakiDelta) reported 31 minutes ago

  @DierkingJakob @Blaaaair96 @BlackMajikMan90 It may not have met expectations but it was still a financial success. It clearly also didn't damaged DC's reputation since SS, WW, Aquaman, and Shazam all were box office hits. You cant keep blaming BvS for the problems DC had long after it came out.

  @lRawMedia @grok my shazam is not working, what is the name of this song.

  @permylastemail7 That had to suck. Imagine hearing BTS for the very first time and it's live so it's even more impactful to be there in person while they perform. And you hear all of these bangers for the first time and you have no way to Shazam it or write it down or anything.

  @Niklander3 I'm kind of curious if Safran is more the problem here...the SHAZAM sequel, and the AQUAMAN movies weren't some sort of bastion of quality.

  Reed: Yes, I do. He needed somebody to talk to her and find out what would she say if she was asked about Jeffrey Epstein, and you were the perfect choice. And you went down there and suddenly - Shazam, she’s out.”

  Shazam Founder @Inghelbrecht says Shazam should never have existed. To build the company in 2000, the team had to digitize one of the world’s largest music libraries before streaming existed. They had to invent music recognition technology from scratch and physically build the computing infrastructure needed to run it before companies like Google Cloud and AWS were around. They also had to convince mobile carriers to support a product category nobody had ever seen before. Inghelbrecht says even if each of those problems only had a 10% chance of working, the odds of Shazam surviving were practically zero.

  Played a song and asked my roommate to guess who the artist is. Guy cheekily pulls his phone out to make it seem like he’s texting someone and i saw his hand move from the top of the screen to shazam it. Puts down his phone a few secs later of fake brainstorming he gets it right

  @inthehalwayrry i was in the nosebleeds in amsterdam and everybody was sitting down and didn’t even sing for most of the time😭even saw someone use shazam

  John Rocha (@TheRochaSays) reported 40 minutes ago

  When you look at this DC movies run from Man of Steel to #Supergirl (removing the TV shows here), this is a monumentally terrible run. At some point, it's WB that's the issue here. WW, Shazam (maybe), Joker, The Batman and Superman are the only qualified successes artistically and financially. Aquaman made a billion, but it's a **** of a movie. I love Man of Steel and it turned a tidy profit, but it didn't blow up the box office. Everything else is mostly a crash and burn, a slight disappointment or a moderate success. This is a Jets or Browns team going 5-12 for the NFL season. YIKES!

  Is Absolute Green ꗞ Lantern #14 out? (@AbsGLHypeGuy) reported 49 minutes ago

  @Gray_m0nst3rous Agree with the last part, I would have really preferred if King Shazam was really just magic and not related to Brainiac. As for the 14 first issues... Well, I disagree, I'd say that it proves that Superman can save Earth, while he didn't believe he could because of Krypton.

  @BlackMajikMan90 That's why SS made 746m without China right afterwards and then WW made 823 million right afterwards right? And even after the trainwreck the execs made Aquaman made a billion,but BvS derailed the franchise right? The problems start with Shazam You disingenuous piece of ****

  @DespairNem obv there's stormfront who's supposed to be transformed shazam but there's also a billy batson kid but he doesnt get his own arc he just appears for an issue or two i think

  @seattletimes @Widgetreine7 If you don’t investigate to find any issues Shazam there are no issues. In the same vain you can argue the same about legally purchased firearms and conceal and carry individuals. The left has no problem imposing even more draconian regulations for firearm purchases and ownership that are far above even these changes suggested for voting.

  Robert P. Glover (@RPGlover) reported 57 minutes ago

  @TheComicSource Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately, following the trajectory of failure around the aged up version of the character and the publication of perhaps the worst treatment of the property with the deceptive de-age in Shazam issue 20, this Superman Unlimited arc WOULD be a hoax if the young version of Jon does not remain in current continuity. Too often, editors forget that fans are people also- customers marking tally over each and every deficient story arc, and glaring lack of competence marring canon over time. DC certainly paid no attention to sales numbers, fan feedback, Go-Fund-Me campaigns… watching the publisher fall on their face with the Jon Kent character- heck, with core Kryptonian titles, has not been “fun.”

  @WTHfilms @TheEasternOptic I don't count the Shazam Cameo because it wasn't Cavill. It was his stunt man which is why you only see him from the neck down.
