Customer Reviews
iCloud
This app works as advertised. Within the last few updates, the iCloud error appeared and I can't synchronize between devices. With this fixed, I can give it the fifth star it deserves.
Not to be funny but if you're tone deaf, the software can't pick the signature of a song if it's not close. As an example of how many songs are out there, with the iTunes library having over 10,000,000 songs, the signature has to be picked out them and that's amazing! Keep humming as the software should get better with more data to work with.

Great app
Works almost perfect. I wish it had a genius type of playlist.
Super Handy Music Identification App!
I've got both SoundHound and Shazam and find myself using SoundHound the most. It launches really fast, which is important when you want to catch a song that's playing, and has succeeded in identifying almost all the songs I've tried it on, including pretty obscure things. It's not perfect, but is probably as close to perfect as you could hope for. I highly recommend this app.
