#2> The app will soon offer its experience ad-free for all users so everyone can enjoy the best of Shazam without interruption.
Probably, one of the best results from this acquisition.

#4This was essentially announced at the end of last year, and is now being closed.
You can now search for songs on Apple Music by typing in the lyrics to the song.

#7It’s weird to think that I would find it strange if Apple acquired a company like Shazam and left the ads on, isnt it? In a day and age when all of their competitors are turning to ads to increase revenues, Apple is making great customer experiences ad-free.
I think the idea that making Shazam ad-free “makes sense” is actually fascinating because if it were google or amazon buying Shazam, I would assume it would remain littered with ads.

#8Shazam is the one app that has been around since about the birth of the iPhone that honestly still blows my mind in it's capabilities. The fact it can so quickly figure out any song in so many environments is incredible. Call me simple, but I use it almost daily, and it is accurate close to 98% of the time. I absolutely love Shazam's iOS app, and they have done a great job keeping up with UI/UX treads for it over the many years it has been around. Easily one of my favorite and most used apps.
With all that said, PLEASEEEEEE don't ruin it, Apple. Specifically meaning I love it's integration with Spotify. I will be bummed if that goes away for an exclusive Apple Music integration.

I think you're confusing it with Kazaa.
