Shazam Issues Reports
Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:
-
Born To Boogie - Marc Bolan Archive (@GlamRockMarc) reported📆 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.

Ironhead841 (@Mt2Aguy) reportedLook I don't know who this fellow is (I assume he's some sort of a bigwig in the beverage industry) but that's a terrible name for this app. If we're gonna rename it let's go with "Shazam!" or "Ka-chow!" ya know, something catchy and fun.

stick - eternal SG & G-Witch brainrot 🍉 (@stickizonline) reported@ThisguyHassan I miss the red hair but I like them doubling down on the Shazam inspiration
-
いしーわ🍉 (@ishi_____wa) reported@anya_tokugawa @CollaboAnime I was in trouble because it didn't respond to shazam either. You are a savior, thank you!

Corey Hackworth (@CorwinTheGrey) reportedfeeling a bit bogged down in the Calculus II content on Math Academy after taking a break for a few months. Making really dumb, silly errors... so I asked Grok to make me a little web app to drill derivatives and integrals. Shazam! in less than a minute! ...except, the question database needs to be super big and varied, and the multiple-choice on a flash card format is dry and boring. So.... while I wait on Gemini to grind JSON for a different project today, I figured out how to get Qwen running on my 3070, piped it into Cline in VSCODE, and have it trying to build me Calculus Hero minigames so I can memorize and do rapid recall without it feeling like paint drying. wish it luck.

*** (@gaiusrichardo) reportedshazam for iphone is terrible shazam for android works far better
-
Bibhuti Bora (@bibhutibaibhaav) reported@YRANACKCALB The huge problem is Shazam is the personality of the both actors. They are really different
-
By Lyne (@by84536) reported@uniquemoviemom This is more female supremacy nonsense. Shazam is also magic. He should have been able to resist. Also, the lightning should have taken her out or he could have called down the lighting again to turn back as she was thrown away by the impact.
-
ThatDeadHead (@SteveGr16838876) reported@OtunbaSebotimo The problem with the movie the kid actor acted nothing like the Shazam version, he was way too serious and didn't have the same charm
-
Maples (@MapleLeafClover) reported@asislife13 @Equites333 @ChildOfKhan_ No problem. It's the main hook these ads have and Shazam picked it up pretty quick.
-
Mallu Junction (@MegaONE1127279) reported@morvinedward When its not able reach nearer Lokah its became Mixed review, Except Shazam everyone else given excellent review , Why mohanlal sleeper cell is not working properly
-
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.
-
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
-
Edzil Saliba Timber (@Ednah___) reportedShazam is not working but he’s added the track titles for all the songs!
-
ewgenijwolkow (@ewgenijwolkow) reportedwhat happened to @Shazam ? There was a time when you could hum a song for 5sec and it would find it. Now you can play 10sec of the actual song and it doesn’t find anything?! What a degradation of service
-
KEFFCHXP FANPAGE (@13xkeff) reported@dfwtopski Stop that joke I once used shazam to find a song that got taken down I could not listen to it but it gave me the artiste name
-
ERIS Queen of CHAOS (@ERIS4ThePEOPLE) reportedI haven’t been to the theater in years now not since they stuck in that stupid useless scene in the second Shazam that didn’t fit about some kids saying oh yeah by the way, I’m gay that was it. I’m tired of people, shoving their **** down my face.
-
Crypto Wolf 🐺 (@cryptowolf_ofc) reported@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
-
Joseph Mora (@PapiNCali) reported@TaroPh59854 @MadonnaUltimate That sounds dramatic, but it does not really hold up from a music industry standpoint. Nobody needs an organized scheme to make a record underperform. The market does that all by itself. Streaming, radio callout, playlist retention, repeat listening, TikTok traction, Shazam activity, sales stability, and week-two drops tell the story. If a song connects, it holds. If it does not, no amount of “they are trying to erase her legacy” explains the public not coming back to the track. Madonna’s legacy is not being erased. Her legacy is already written. The issue is that some fans confuse legacy with current demand. She can be the Queen of Pop historically and still have a single that does not perform like a major hit in 2026. Those two things can exist at the same time. And honestly, blaming invisible “people hungry for the Queen title” feels like a distraction from the actual rollout. If the song had smashed, nobody would be talking about conspiracies. They would be posting chart receipts. But when you have label investment, Sabrina Carpenter attached, Coachella-adjacent hype, The Abbey, Grindr promo, listening parties, and still the numbers do not match the noise, that is not a takedown campaign. That is a rollout failing to convert attention into consumption. The music business is not sentimental. It does not care how iconic you are. It cares whether people stream the song again tomorrow. Madonna is not being erased. She is being measured. And that is what some fans cannot handle.

Pencil Lord (@sm0ke828) reported@R0ssb1e @Bad_____bunny99 There's nothing close about the fight. Thragg aren't even as strong or as fast as Shazam, Thragg aren't seen anything or face anything like Shazam before but Shazam has taken down people far powerful than Thragg like I said earlier they're not on the same level.
-
NeilAumaster (@NeilAumazter) reported@roger_stev82377 I'm not the biggest comic reader, but one thing I've grown to learn is that if you're semi popular enough, you're bound to get a stupid broken feat. So I feel safe in assuming that Shazam has, during his run, done some bullshit for him to beat Thragg
-
bolter 🐇 (@acebolter) reported@UncannySp1der It’s actually more like if the Absolute universe started with Shazam mounted over Darkseid’s fire place. And yeah i don’t really think that would be a big issue either
-
trey (@tgold29) reported@SamB_46 Underrated refuge moment that I actually have functioning cell service to Shazam tracks
-
Oddy23 (@MandelbrotEater) reported@VelaIka009 @clownvoid Problem is more often than not Shazam is not working
-
CkarasuStreams (@CkarasuStream) reported@Jaereku My issue isn't the dialogue or characters, but what is actually happening in the comic can cross the line into the absurd. And not the funny or good kind. Having a Shazam expy that just rapes people is so goofy it takes me out. That's just one example.
-
Optimal Popsicle (@MansplainStuff) reported@ihatemeen_ Not like this, no. He takes out Batman first, cuz that ****** has the green rock. Then Flash, cuz he can fetch more green rocks, but wont think about it til Bruce is down. His biggest problems then are Shazam and WW cuz they are magic based.
-
ゴッドファーザー The Godfather (@Igniteoud) reportedThe success rate for discovering songs via @Shazam has dropped. Perhaps the algorithm is flawed or there have been many errors recently. Shazam struggles to identify songs, particularly those in the progressive house and dub techno genres. @Apple @AppleMusic
-
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
-
onowu(kingmaker) (@soundnerd_) reported@MrSoundHive I agree I think the best case scenario is working the chorus on socials to see if it gathers any motion. Even radio, just to see if it triggers Shazam at all. No point having a 1M bill, 6 months down the line on a hunch. I won’t have thought that if you didn’t ask
