Shazam: Find Music & Concerts

What Shazam does

Shazam: Find Music & Concerts identifies songs playing around you, then helps you continue exploring them. Tap to recognise a track, check your recent discoveries, view lyrics or music videos, and open the song through supported streaming services. It also connects music discovery with concert information, making it useful when you want to know whether an artist is playing near you.

Who it suits

This is a practical choice for listeners who often hear unfamiliar music in shops, cafés, on television, or through another app. It also suits people who want a searchable record of songs they have found rather than relying on memory. The interface focuses on quick recognition, while charts and related discovery tools give regular listeners more ways to browse.

What it does well

• Fast song recognition: the main action is easy to find and built around identifying music with minimal effort.
• Useful follow-through: a recognised track can lead to lyrics, videos, streaming options, and artist information.
• Background discovery: Auto Shazam can keep listening for music when you want to identify several songs over time.
• Concert connection: event information adds a useful next step for fans who want to see artists live.

What to keep in mind

Shazam is strongest when you want to identify a specific recording quickly. Its wider features are more valuable if you already use music streaming services or actively follow artists and live events. It is published by Apple Inc. and listed in Music & Audio. With a 4.84 rating from more than 11.7 million reviews and 500,000,000+ installs, it has broad usage, though those figures describe overall popularity rather than whether every discovery or concert listing will match your needs.
