-
bangbangtan⁷ 🪭 ⦿ ☰ ☲ (@ttpolitricks) reported@permylastemail7 That had to suck. Imagine hearing BTS for the very first time and it's live so it's even more impactful to be there in person while they perform. And you hear all of these bangers for the first time and you have no way to Shazam it or write it down or anything.
-
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.
-
Josh Sammons (@JoshSammons7) reported@UltraBiasedFan But Black Adam was also terrible, like most of their films at the time. Shazam 2, Aquaman 2.
-
Igwe Okoye (@MrAdamas) reportedGoogle Pixel used to have a cool feature with Now Playing. It had the silent drop down notification. Now it's basically Shazam. Why do I have to open the app or turn off my phone to view the lock screen to know what's playing? So inconvenient
-
LG1014 (@LG101400) reported@FetchTheGhost WW, Aquaman even Shazam 1 is pretty peak so of my favorites and I love The Flash film it had the right idea but terrible execution with things
-
Kvng broke mf (@ElKapaski) reportedWhenever you moan , I wish I can Shazam it and listen to it whenever I'm down .....buh you just mumu 🤦🏾🤧
-
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.
-
Give Palestine a nuke (@FarrrlzBarkley) reported@OrevaZSN You could probably do this with existing Shazam by uploading a bunch of tracks of various car sounds to YouTube or something with titles indicating the problem and waiting for Shazam to index them
-
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
-
RedeemedRobin 🏳️🌈 (@redeemedrobin) reported@midnightcomicss It's Jay who would be a p3dophile. Jon was still 11 when Jay was already in college, with was only a few weeks before Jon went to space with his known mad grandfather. Also Jay was fine being in a relationship w/Jon while deaged in Shazam issue
-
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
-
KIRAN KUMAR (@kd83kiran) reported@james88982622 Why wasn’t it allowed in the first place, why didn’t AQUAMAN, Wonder Woman or Shazam didn’t face that specific problem. It’s because his movies are the problem. Even at full creative control director cuts exist for his rebel moon movies.
-
真光 (@illuminatus_est) reported@Abimbola_Fenwa Let Down is very sad, lol. I like Creep, No Surprises and Plastic trees and maybe Karma police. You dig Foxy Shazam too?
-
John Hyde (@The_DrJ3ckyll) reported@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.
-
🎀melie🎀 (@ch13m3l13) reportedInstead of me to ask for playlist I’d rather Shazam one billion songs idk what’s my problem sef😡
-
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
-
:) (@marcopoloed) reportedPlayed a song and asked my roommate to guess who the artist is. Guy cheekily pulls his phone out to make it seem like he’s texting someone and i saw his hand move from the top of the screen to shazam it. Puts down his phone a few secs later of fake brainstorming he gets it right
-
Flaff (@Flaffenbam) reported@ORTHODOXLAD1 @SynthPotato If you can find a long enough clip of it without too much talking try Shazam, or a service like that.
-
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
-
Dream🌸⁷⦿⊝⊜ᴀʀɪʀᴀɴɢ (@Sapnakahar2) reported@k00bi Someone post a tutorial as I did download and all but i am facing issue navigating it + I did play songs on my Spotify but it was not showing on shazam
-
Hype Feed⚡⚡⚡ (@Hypershocke) reported@roger_stev82377 People seem to forget that Shazam is powered by six gods and imagine the six of them against Thor and hulk bro it's gonna be a massive beat down 💯💯💯
-
My SAVD Spirit (@SquallingSpirit) reported@Shazam Fix your app so that when you select Buy on iTunes, it takes you to the song and not the iTunes homepage. Recent app update still does not address this issue.
-
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.
-
PlanetFanatix (@planetfanatix) reportedGod these are awful. I truly wish DC figures could fall into Hasbro‘s hands. McFarlane isn’t even trying at this point. I have been waiting for a black Canary and she looks terrible. Vigilante is OK in that new Shazam 🤮🤮
-
Brice 🎈 (@BriceTheBestOne) reported@kalisredmoon Well atleast its doing well on itunes/apple music/shazam worldwide. Spotify sucks yeah and its been frozen on tiktok. My quote post was a response to the hate and how IHHM is better. You'll never see me on this app looking for trouble like stans here do.
-
~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
-
Jerry Berry🫐🍇🍓 (@slvttyberry) reportedShazam not working at Ben Sterling … Set is heating up
-
BE A GOOD VIBE ⬆️ (@gynola_ola) reported@sheisscherry Shazam and black adam is terrible
-
MER∆KI (@MerakiDelta) reported@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.

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.
