Regardless, 'Shazam' is the product of a finely tuned, massively talented incarnation of the Move. This album is full of wonderful arrangements, stretching the musical talents. For those who are passionate about music, Shazam is an indispensable application on your phone. Besides the song search feature, it also helps you remember the songs you have searched for, just like Google’s search history. Shazam’s tools are all aimed at helping music listeners find their favorite music. Shazam has a little bit of everything for almost everyone: from the ability to connect to Apple Music or Spotify, the feature to turn on Auto Shazam so that the app is always finding new music for you, the chance to see what your friends are Shazamming and sharing your epic music discovering to Facebook, Twitter, or almost any other social. I tested the app on a Nokia Lumia 928 ($110.00 at Amazon). Like so many mobile apps, Shazam's setup wants access to your location, and, though this seems irrelevant for a music app, it does enable.
