For a little over a week, Shazam has become part of the companies that Apple has been buying throughout the year, a purchase that has cost close to 400 million dollars and that for now leaves in the air if it song recognition company will remain a platform independent or if it will cease to be so to integrate into iOS by ceasing to offer its service on Android.
As usual, Apple has not revealed the future plans it has with Shazam, but for now, the developers continue to release updates following the roadmap that they would have pre-established before the purchase of Apple, as is the case of the last update that adds the offline mode.
As we can read in the notes of the update number 11.6.0 of Shazam, we can already use the application even if we do not have an Internet connection, since the next time a song plays, we will have the possibility to press the big blue button and as soon as we are back online, lThe application will show us the name of the song along with all the data such as the cover, the lyrics, in which music service it is available ...
Shazam is a free service that allows us to recognize the songs that are playing around us in exchange for showing us advertising, an advertisement that is not very annoying. But if we use it practically daily, it is likely that we do not want to see the advertising that it shows us. To avoid this, Shazam offer us an integrated purchase of 3,49 euros.
Shazam is one of the few applications that has one of the highest scores in the App Store, with a Average rating of 4,5 out of 5 possible stars with almost 100.000 reviews, something that very few applications or games can boast.
