This used to be my go-to app for over a decade and loved using it to add songs to my Spotify. However over the last few months, the app has been useless. I don't know what changed. It's unable to detect but maybe 1 out of every 20 songs now. Nothing but wasted space occupying my phone. Do yourself a favor and switch to Shazam or another similar app.

Searching lyrics names or anything using text never works and it rarely recognizes audio even when it's clear as day to super popular music. I can hold it with the stereo playing the top 40 and it will be lucky to recognize 3 of them. Whatever the glitch is it just doesn't ever work right... shame cause for a decade or so it was my go to for figuring out songs... Now, just a bad app

Can no longer log into my account and lost years of searchs as a result. I reached out to support and was surprised to get an initial response pretty quick. However, this turned out to be false hope as they have not responded again, a week later. I used to like the app, but it's not worth the trouble and apparently poor support. Cannot recommend this app anymore.
