You can then find the Shazams identified with Auto Shazam in My Music, grouped together by date.

To turn off Auto Shazam, tap or click the Shazam button.

Use Shazam in Control Center on iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch

You can Shazam songs right from Control Center on your iPhone or on your iPad.* To add Shazam to Control Center, go to Settings > Control Center, then tap the Add button next to Music Recognition.

Bottom Line

The app has a smooth feel to it thanks to the nice appearance and the fluent navigation inside the GUI.	Function8 Shazam works really fast and the results are quite accurate, but there are many songs that are not included in the database.	Security9 The app is careful with user data altogether, but it will require access to some secure areas of the system.
Battery7 The impact on the system resources is a bit above moderate, but only while the app is being used for longer periods of time.	Price10 The service can be freely used and users can add as many tags as they please.	Compatibility10 Well suited for Windows Phone 7.5 and higher handsets, Shazam doesn't have any special demands in order to run properly.
