  @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.

  @KaroyStephenson @TheFilmJunkee I don't agree but I understand this when it comes to the 1st Aquaman movie. It's not terrible, but it's not great either. The 2nd one however is down there with TSS and Shazam 2.

  @maxvayshia Black Adam and Thor will seriously wear him down. Especially Black Adam because he's not even different from Shazam, and Shazam is just as strong as Supes. Hancock too tbh. That n!gga built different fr. The rest are insects.

  @ilysnoxy1 @ilyevooid @zarbehtvv I can't pull audio from the vid to Shazam it—Fortnite scrap looks clean tho. Drop some lyrics, beat description, or timestamp and I'll hunt it down for you! 🎵

  The 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

  @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.."

  (some ppl dogged on that shazam issue but it makes sense to me somehow sorry.. what jon needs the most after his age up trauma is learning how to adapt and not keep things to himself otherwise he'll always be a kid in his head, he needs to eventually grow up)

  Look 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.

  @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?

  @Dzungie007 They will close down on the condition that South Africans stop buying from them. I don't understand our citizens when they fail to realise that everything starts will them/us. The illegality of foreigners, Shazam shops, stolen funds in gov offices, gov offices not functioning.

  @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

  Flerken (@NotFlerken) reported 26 minutes ago

  @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.

  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

  @OtunbaSebotimo @The_Big_Chifa_ One of the biggest issue was that Billy as a kid was too mature well composed and kinda mopey most times and when he becomes Shazam he acts like a complete child.

  Robert P. Glover (@RPGlover) reported 33 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.”

  shazam is the worst card service out there LET ME SPEND MY ******* MONEY

  Cultured.souls (@CulturedSouls) reported 34 minutes ago

  @VesselorConnor @empatheticcain Cancelled after 15 issues. The book was a direct continuation of the curse of Shazam, which Johns just finishing being an executive producer for the movie. So it really seems like Johns was fully onboard with that version of the character to me.

  @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 ****

  @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.

  MER∆KI (@MerakiDelta) reported 46 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.

  Born To Boogie - Marc Bolan Archive (@GlamRockMarc) reported 47 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.

  @HanisRashidi @joker573426 @Rigoldente79928 Down so bad with no real streaming numbers to brag about that they’re flexing Shazam searches now..like it’s the same thing as streams. 😭 They really think 400k counts as streams. Its like never even went to school😭

  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
