-
Oddy23 (@MandelbrotEater) reported@VelaIka009 @clownvoid Problem is more often than not Shazam is not working
-
Garfman (@GarfeldoAlfredo) reported@raingod09790030 Shazam was during the broken DCEU, not the DCU that has been solid. Go cry about it.
-
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.
-
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
-
TBPN (@tbpn) reportedShazam 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.

BE A GOOD VIBE ⬆️ (@gynola_ola) reported@sheisscherry Shazam and black adam is terrible

~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
-
catie (@catierowling) reported@LucindaAntwix @rikcatberryy Shazam was terrible , Snow White was terrible, y2k was one of the worst ranking a24 films, she was in the worst rated hunger games film EVEN her animated film did badly and she didn’t get completely positive reviews for R+J Kit was the one getting the critic awards

*** (@gaiusrichardo) reportedshazam for iphone is terrible shazam for android works far better
-
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.

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
-
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!!
-
Saint Sam J. of IU Indy (@winatTheJim) reported@Bunny_ngl Order burgers and -Shazam- the amount you tip goes down
-
𝕽𝖆𝖘𝖌𝖚𝖑𝖑𝖆 WA to 1B (@IconOfAnEraTae) reportedwhat is stopping ppl from these both??? Spotify is going through issues okay but what abt Shazam and AM???
-
Andrew Hudgins (@Drewdaddyb1) reportedHere we have Gretchen Whitmer (aka SHAZAM) with an important public service notice about an issue that is not an issue. What a joke.
-
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.
-
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 🥺
-
Jaoofy (@jaoofy37427) reported@ihatemeen_ with shazam and wonder woman alone they could stall long enough so barry could get bruce to where he keeps his kryptonite and grab some for himself to keep him down, and thats not assuming the rest of the league doesn't just outright win.
-
Har Dey Wale🪖 (@CFC_adewale) reported@Ayeloja0 You people will just sit down and hype rubbish Seyi dey pack quantity over quality, that’s why his songs don’t have replay value why do you think people still dey go back and vibe to all Asake old albums till today? Who still dey remember Shazam or Instagram today lol
-
jaelyn (@bbjaesimp) reportedI hv to know what song this iz cuz my shazam is not working😭
-
penis (@penis7977055683) reportedi once insulted someone’s music taste then when they played music like two months later it was so good, but the problem is i can’t tell them that.. so i installed shazam and stole them myself #independent
-
Paul Rodriguez (@PGRodriguez80) reported@KS052020 @jkbaker1117 @ParamountPics You would keep failing then. The GA do not want cbm. Unless you are OK with sub 500m box offices. That is fine if the movie has Joker or Shazam budgets. The problem with dc and now the mcu is that the fans want something the ga does not care for.
-
Spiderkid10000 (@SwigittyS) reported@Fenrirtheicewo1 Literally DCAU Shazam scales to teh destruction of Apokolips. Speed is a really real issue however.
-
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
-
Anna (@Annanasow) reported@DivineHannie @Shazam @Shazam I have reported this issue via the application reporting system multiple times
-
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 💔
-
carneashadaa (@ManShacln) reportedi can deal w astroseek being down but shazam cmonnn🤬👊🏽
-
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
-
Josh Sammons (@JoshSammons7) reported@UltraBiasedFan But Black Adam was also terrible, like most of their films at the time. Shazam 2, Aquaman 2.
-
michael jones (@michael7672) reported@The4thTurtleNyC Aquaman was an aberration despite what Snyder did to the DCEU. It excelled and became a blockbuster. Then the Snyder influence reared its ugly head and took down Shazam. A movie with Wonder Woman like critical and audience reviews and grossed less than a 1/3 of what Aquaman did.
