Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • Khanya_MM Khanya (@Khanya_MM) reported

    No but on a serious note, has Shazam ever worked for anyone? I refuse to believe that I’m the problem here 😭

  • gooncultist gooncultist (@gooncultist) reported

    face recognition and voice recognition are very thoroughly solved problems at this point, so surely won't be long until someone makes the "shazam for pornstars" app that I desperately need I'd do it, but, y'know, porn

  • jstjohn83 Joshua St. John (@jstjohn83) reported

    Anyone else have to shut down @Shazam every time before it works?

  • FS3337 FS333 (@FS3337) reported

    @chancelor_p @BlackMajikMan90 'Shazam' was released exactly 20 days before 'Avengers: Endgame', that was the main issue. Shazam's release date was too close to a HUGE crossover event movie.

  • dervick Dervick (@dervick) reported

    Why is @Shazam not working wtf…

  • MegalonVII Megalon 凶 (@MegalonVII) reported

    shazam is the only program that actually solves human problems

  • lvstina pip! JAS & SAM DAY !! KARL NOTICE :D (@lvstina) reported

    @krlsaps it’s slowed and pitched down so shazam won’t recognize it

  • FS3337 FS333 (@FS3337) reported

  • Makhathini_LJ Bahluphile (@Makhathini_LJ) reported

    @mvusog @dj4tune_m @EarfulSoul The's nothing wrong with Shazam, the problem is relying on it to find songs and be lazy to search for music by yourself

  • cr1mebabe gato (@cr1mebabe) reported

    @eveiscruzzin no cus i’ll shazam or write lyrics down in my notes to look up later cus im not about to let em know they put me on

  • mkenyamzii mkenyaDaima | Mamba 🇹🇿🇦🇹🇩🇪🇦🇪🇫🇷🇸🇰🇮🇹 (@mkenyamzii) reported

    @CargleElizabet1 Shazam not working overhere Dm me the name of the song

  • nicolelvis_ Nicolelvis (@nicolelvis_) reported

    Even shazam fails you😒. This is why I have trust issues

  • _calvinlewis calvin lewis (@_calvinlewis) reported

    Nothing is worse than getting caught using Shazam at the bar, like yea Stacy, I’ve never heard “Sugar We’re Going Down (Dnb Remix)” and I enjoy it alright give me a break

  • Marlar5000 Marley Herrick (@Marlar5000) reported

    @meepbasket @Shazam Nah. I have no problem Shazaming in public

  • Markwh61 Mark Whitehouse (@Markwh61) reported

    @timbowhartyarse Can you play that again Ken, my Shazam's not working.

  • CaliCoastReplay 🔁🎼☮️ Replay (@CaliCoastReplay) reported

    @klash0689 @yara_wayne @Dailter_Fran Oh, goodness, Shazam was a great movie and it made over four hundred million dollars. Anyone who believes that a $400m movie is a failure because it didn't make a billion is absolutely part of the problem right now and not the solution.

  • EyoPeyoW Wyatt Eastman (@EyoPeyoW) reported

    @EthanVanSciver The exact when is… really beside the point, the fact that this thing looks to be WildStorm 2.0 (and not in the cool art way) is going to be a problem for a lot of people. Batman is only going to be able to hold the weight but for so long, WW Historia, Shazam Anything…

  • JRMacKimm JR MacKimm (@JRMacKimm) reported

    @chrisarrant @AlexJaffe The elusive Shazam/Captain Marvel monthly series. People constantly clamor for it to return then forget about it after a few issues.

  • Batboat77 WW (@Batboat77) reported

    @snyder_all Shazam and BOP are low budget films, and as streaming becomes more popular home video sales go down across the board

  • KeijuanSimon Keijuan Simon (@KeijuanSimon) reported

    @cher Lord abba now my Xbox is messing up when i was outside for 1 hr.... Ive been waiting for someone to do wrong to that. Knew they would try. Envy is one of the worst sins known. Shazam. Just speaking bout issues.

  • Steke_Mekgoe Brighten McCoy (@Steke_Mekgoe) reported

    @DeepSessions3 @Rey_Mdletshe @EarfulSoul So kahle kahle Shazam is the problem?

  • sisipho_tsawu JustVaarbz_theLawyer_kwedin (@sisipho_tsawu) reported from East London, Eastern Cape

    I’m sure it’s iOS users that made Shazam embarrassing for others. Problem is we just ask Siri what song is playing. Hope y’all know Siri uses Shazam to search your songs.

  • jackstow Jack Stow (@jackstow) reported from Stamford, England

    Streaming stats can be fascinating. Why did someone in Toulouse do a Shazam of a song of mine? I imagine they were wandering down an alleyway by moonlight, taking a drag from a Gauloises, when they heard a song from an open window above..

  • alopex_ii yharnam urbanist @ abolish police (@alopex_ii) reported

    @inaoifeble @Eric_Erins If someone invented a camera app that intelligently removed cars from street photos it would be the first app to solve an actual problem since Shazam

  • gamehhhover Abhishek Pathak (@gamehhhover) reported

    @JulianLA1212 @MerchantOfDenis That's a bit much. But if we compare MCU phase 1 with MoS, BvS, WW, Aquaman, Shazam, ZSJL then definitely DCEU wins. (I don't count S**t Squad, that thing brought down DCEU more than anything) But like I said Disney sabotaged the competition with help of some WB execs.

  • bradfordjlinds1 Bradford James Lindsey (@bradfordjlinds1) reported

    @titansscreens Supergirl, Raven, Shazam, BeastBoy. If this team up cant solve the problem, they will become a bigger problem to the original problem until it pulls its hair out and sulks in a corner.

  • predatoronlive ПΛV (@predatoronlive) reported

    @a_unbox 1. Quality issues 2. Poor recommendation and daily mix 3. No Shazam support 4. No friends activity 5. No pc version (web version sucks) And much more issues Big no

  • Bobbadbig BigBadBob (@Bobbadbig) reported

    @alexselby1770 The supervisor of the pHd student who had the idea for Shazam told him it was a computationally impossible problem to solve...

  • Stephen14748328 Larry Kin (@Stephen14748328) reported

    @juliahbanks Shazam...I will fix the problem I created in a month. Meanwhile you can all eat tofu!

  • HHaliwelle Nashville’s Hannabeth Haliwelle Patriot Paramour (@HHaliwelle) reported

    @mymeganlove @Shazam Had broken neck for a week after a LOG show
