zangothando (@zango_kubheka) reportedWhoever is responsible for the degradation in Shazam’s service quality…

pipoco (@pipocostein) reportedwhen 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
-
Robert P. Glover (@RPGlover) reported@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.”

jaelyn (@bbjaesimp) reportedI hv to know what song this iz cuz my shazam is not working😭
-
severe engineer (@severeengineer) reported@bryancsk once heard something playing at a low and muffled volume in a youtube vid thought it sounded up my alley, spent at least half an hour tracking it down after shazam got nothing, turns out it was a shining example of the "incelcore" music the kids are apparently making these days
-
BE A GOOD VIBE ⬆️ (@gynola_ola) reported@sheisscherry Shazam and black adam is terrible
-
Chris Craddock (@ChrisCraddock5) reportedReed: 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.”
-
🪶🪶 (@leoisthename33) reported@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
-
EvoTwinz (@evotwinz) reportedSHAZAM NOT WORKING! Internet do yall thing !
-
Bibhuti Bora (@bibhutibaibhaav) reported@YRANACKCALB The huge problem is Shazam is the personality of the both actors. They are really different
-
Julie Barrett (@juliecbarrett) reportedLast week Idaho Governor Brad Little signed HB 542, Stop Harms from Addictive Social Media Act (SHASM - ADF calls is “Shazam!! 💥”) While the bill seems to have good intentions, it’s impossible to implement without universal age verification - handing MORE data of children to Big Tech - and constant behavioral monitoring of children online. This “solution” will undoubtedly make the problem worse. Additionally, it is the opposite of “parental empowerment”, forcing a government mandate on every family.

~X~ (xgrrrl1) (@jnsqxgrrrl1) reported@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
-
Gerald Dean (@Loser_Pot_tard) reported@PlayBkPlay @nikomoon I had the terrible misfortune of hearing Beach Cowboy in a Target the other day. I couldn’t believe how awful it was, and I had to Shazam it to hear who was responsible for such a musical travesty. Seriously, this is why country music gets a bad rap. Complete garbage.
-
Igor Brigadir 🇺🇦 (@IgorBrigadir) reportedDRAMA 🎭 at the public library! Some lad walked in and started blasting some tune about sucking **** or something like that and the library staff had trouble getting him to stop. Sickened I didn’t manage to Shazam the track - might have been his own creation. We will never know.
-
Flerken (@NotFlerken) reported@DragonMaster478 @ExigaNail @DEB10042 It’s just how things have been for decades. He was called Captain Marvel all the way through the 2000s. In New 52, DC decided they wanted to get rid of the complicated rights issue by just naming him Shazam instead. Which led to a lot of conflict with fans.
-
Aliff Aziz (@AliffAziz9) reported@OtunbaSebotimo It’s a great movie. The only problem is teenage Billy Batson is played as a serious, street-smart kid, but when he transforms into Shazam, he completely changes into an over-the-top, immature goofball. Doesn’t feels like they the same person
-
BANG CHAN 방찬 GLOBAL 🍋🩵 (@BangChanGlobal) reported📣 | UPDATE: After numerous templates and emails since 2025, it seems as though Bang Chan’s Spotify profile has now been fixed, with the fake songs removed. HOWEVER! Issues still persist across YouTube/YouTube Music, Apple Music, Shazam, Amazon Music, Tidal and Deezer. We will provide an updated template once we have finished reviewing each platform in depth.

tiny god (@She_isKing_) reportedAnyone else’s Shazam not working? Neither of my iPads or my phone are able to find multiple common songs. @Shazam what the heck 🥺
-
Rich Bateman (@richbateman87) reported@GunntArchive dc movies are doomed because they never learn; the fandom is fractured and they know this but instead of fixing this; they just double down on hating on zack snyder to convince you to support new dc movies it didnt work for black adam, shazam or blue beetle; theyre all idiots
-
Ashley Serakalala (@ashseraka) reportedHe wouldn't be back if the people of Voslo didn't shut down those Shazam shops !!! Power to the people, now make sure those Shazam shops never operate!!
-
DeeViDual (@DeeViDual) reported@ayothesage_ He did shrug off the flow of information that was weighing Shazam down even with Solomon's wisdom. He was seeing that and still had time to worry about Shazam. So it's not far fetched to say that he can
-
🇳🇴 AahYesHello 🐧🎶 (@AahYesHello) reported@ri_neb LandR is pretty decent in my opinion here is pros and cons: pro: They give you shazam, contentID for free Cover licenses are a one time payout If you stop paying your subscription they won't take down your songs, but take a 15% cur from your revenue Support team are humans only and no useless chat bot cons: Because they dont use AI in their systems they have a manual QC team that needs to look through your release and manually approve which takes some business days If you're making a remix they need documentation for rights of sample usage which takes even more days to process They dont support label plans and is generally for solo artists so if you were planning a "Various Artist" release it is usually meant for 1-3 artists per release Hope this helps
-
Ziggy (@ZquadboyZ) reported@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
-
SRTKENZO9️⃣ (@K9NX0EVG) reported@BlakkMonkey @Zap_TFS @roger_stev82377 Better to shut it down than go back and forth so yep. AND on top of that, you inserted Hal in a conversation he doesn’t even compete in. Superman is the fastest non speedster character in DC and Shazam is behind him.. so where did you get Hal from? U saying he’s faster than Kent?
-
Jake 🇬🇧🗽 (@jakonian) reportedI've spent about 2 hours trying to figure out this one song I heard in a McDonald's as children screamed. I had no service, couldn't Shazam. Little Bird by Annie Lennox. I genuinely cheered.
-
jena (@srepsev) reportedthe venue under my apartment needs to stop playing remixes bro like I’m up here tryna Shazam this **** and it’s not working 💔
-
Quako’s Shut (@nicholaski) reportedShazam 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
-
JRB (@SteelersLe) reported@AxelTalksFilm With how he made it seem like he was such a ********* Adam fan it’s sad how it turned out. He shoulda had the accent down with the hair and ears, that woulda been an acting job he would get praise for bc the dialect. Also not wanting to be against Shazam too…

Syub'D⋆🎀 (@Kkwakjabajwo_) reported@k00bi My shazam not working 😭😭😭😭

Miraïsenberg (@Mirai_Itami) reported@SirBylHolte If you got a problem with : « I don’t want the bad guys to get killed." "I don’t care how many people they hurt or kill along the way." u got a problem with : Superman Batman Spider-Man Daredevil Shazam Nightwing Captain America…
