  • _alialkhatib Ali Alkhatib (@_alialkhatib) reported

    @strictlynofun @IEthics like shazam but for service notifications? hahaha

  • wetcasements Nuttin' But James! (@wetcasements) reported

    I feel the same way about Marvel movies, for what it's worth. And DC movies, because they're terrible. (Shazam was OK.)

  • TiyahsMusiConvo atiyah's music convo (@TiyahsMusiConvo) reported

    tfw you shazam a song bcus it's so terrible and you just gotta know who thought this was a good idea 🥴

  • opulent679 M ☂️🇿🇼 (@opulent679) reported

    Yeah Shazam wasn’t a shabby idea at all.. but when is someone going invent a service where you can sing the song yourself / humm the beat and in the name of artificial intelligence the app (or whatever) is able to dictate the song for you ?

  • richardjwild Richard Wild (@richardjwild) reported

    @beanaaaaaaaa @buffalocialism For that matter, before it was an app, Shazam was a service you could phone up and play the music down the phone to, and it would text you back with the answer.

  • Jay_White0509 The Future is Now (@Jay_White0509) reported

    @Mikeinthe330 @ChiefMacDawg I do believe there is going to be a sequel. Most of the marvel movies are excellent, DC has been a mixed (mostly terrible bag), so Shazam is a bit of an outlier on that regard.

  • noellekondonn noelle kondon💓⭐️🦋 (@noellekondonn) reported

    i was looking for a song on insecure since shazam was not working and i spoiled the end of the episode for myself😐

  • RDMacQ Robert MacQuarrie (@RDMacQ) reported

    @kevinpowers70 @DanielKalban I think this kind of comes down to the "Wait- his name isn't 'Shazam?'" situation.

  • kurikaeshii lynne ❤️‍🔥 (@kurikaeshii) reported

    shazam is the only app that has ever solved any one of my problems

  • yoooo_yooooa Yooooayooooo (@yoooo_yooooa) reported

    @buffalocialism Ummm… google maps ? That surely solves problems, it is far more important than Shazam ffs

  • ClassicYou1 ClassicYou (@ClassicYou1) reported

    @wowitsyan I don't like it either. Makes it seems like people developed the problem that Shazam solves on purpose.

  • buffalocialism James 🐎🔫 (@buffalocialism) reported

    Shazam is the only app that solves an actual problem people ever developed

  • opulent679 M ☂️🇿🇼 (@opulent679) reported

    Yeah Shazam wasn’t a bad idea at all.. but when is someone going invent a service where you can sing the song / humm the beat yourself? - because in the name of artificial intelligence the app (or whatever) should be able to dictate the song for you still

  • fortniteistr4sh JAKE🤡 and 4,269 others (@fortniteistr4sh) reported

    @XanderinSoho @KnightFleck yeah and Shazam and TSS didnt make 1 B either? or they bad films? nope but to the Snyder cult theyre terrible “flops”

  • SdotHarris Typical Aries (@SdotHarris) reported

    @buffalocialism Sentence structure gave me a damn headache. Shazam is the only app ever developed that solves an actual problem.

  • donald_kariuki Donald™ 🇰🇪 (@donald_kariuki) reported

    And btw @Shazam is the only app that was developed to solve the actual problem. Money Heist Sonko

  • DustinMorris13 All I want for Christmas (@DustinMorris13) reported from Calgary, Alberta

    Since @Apple bought out @Shazam it has gone downhill fast! It's absolutely terrible now.

  • Tyrophant 🌠Peak 3 AM Artist (@Tyrophant) reported

    @cosmosblue772 What? Aside from the colors (which is more a filter issue) you didn't like Superman or Wonder Woman? Wasn't a fan of Flash or Aquaman in JL, but I loved all the Aquaman costumes in his movie. Manta and him especially. Shazam's wasn't bad either, but nothing amazing I feel.

  • iam_ROMVN Dr Roman (@iam_ROMVN) reported from Manchester, England

    @itzbasito @Vicky_huncho Shazam's working 24/7 but how many people in Lagos for instance have smart phones, with internet access, AND Shazam, AND a paid streaming service provider that they'd use. The funnel keeps getting smaller.

  • DexAintDead De’Vion Hinton (@DexAintDead) reported

    @EricJamal91 Shazam. Scroll down after the main screen opens and it should be there.

  • erasmusNYT Pattern Ignorer (@erasmusNYT) reported

    @ClownMilker @buffalocialism @peachofababy yeah but sometimes it causes problems too. never the case with shazam

  • DoN0tEat Do Not Eat (@DoN0tEat) reported

    @realpauleverton @buffalocialism Shazam didn't create new problems.

  • MarshymeIIo0407 🎄🎁SantaMello🎁🎄 (@MarshymeIIo0407) reported

    For a free 2 months of Apple Music download Shazam then scroll down til you see the Apple Music thing and claim the 2 months thing

  • SeedyTeevee Seedy! (@SeedyTeevee) reported

    @aaron_h2002 Or when you hear a tune that no one knows the name of, and not even Shazam, which is supposedly the best music identification service out there, can identify it.

  • I_am_AVi_Ma LeeLee V (@I_am_AVi_Ma) reported

    Is anyone else having issues using #shazam since the change to the programming? For me it’s not even listening long enough before it starts “searching” and “extending search” so I’m not really able to catch quick songs during tv shows anymore 😩 @Shazam help!

  • thedreamingbymx jaci (@thedreamingbymx) reported

    bruh im getting traumatized by one day i hear the intro of the song and my instincts of fight or flight are activated and i have to shazam like damn ma calm down 😭

  • badgalbetsy betsy (@badgalbetsy) reported

    @buffalocialism an actual problem people ever developed is solved only by the app shazam

  • CaptMarvelology Captain Marvel-ology! (@CaptMarvelology) reported

    @saltofthebirth How does Shazam make more sense, branding-wise? Because that would only continue the same exact problems for the versions that are called Captain Marvel as it would for those called Captain Thunder. Not to mention that the major competing brand for consumers is a music app.

  • K1MJ0NG2N 🍑peaches🍑 (@K1MJ0NG2N) reported

    @lyricistjjun uidin or stories dekho nai? he shared a meme vid jekhane comod er upore shazam kortesilo and then a bts song popped up and caption e dewa chilo "bangladesh toilet service" clearly he dosent like kpop

  • Struggler2Dark truggling Coward (@Struggler2Dark) reported

    It's not even that the problem is that this kind of dialogue is better than the snappy dialogue from MCU films or Shazam... It's just that it feels like EVERYONE talks with the same voice and tone. It's not realistic. It's too tryhard and cringe inducing.
