| 2024-07-29 |  | | Excellent, should come pre-installed on every Android that comes with Google Play Services. All the negative reviews are invalid since they are all about the default Google app. This app only installs a shortcut to a specific function in that app. Nothing else. |
| 2024-06-29 |  | | Not working. Opens briefly and then no results. Have tried deleting and reinstalling several times. Permissions are set correctly. Wish they'd fix this app. |
| 2024-05-20 |  | | It seems not a lot of people understand this app. It simply opens Google's Sound Search, which is a separate app. Form factor and other things cannot be fixed by the developer of this app. They are not Google. It does what it's supposed to, provides a home screen shortcut for Google's Sound Search app. That's all it is. It does that perfectly. |
| 2024-05-15 |  | | It works how it's suppose and the only reason I'm giving a 1 🌟 Is bc it comes standard with Google search with it's own separate widget already so why make it a separate app!? It's idiotic to do so. I like my app features all in one app with it's own stand alone widget. It saves on so much space compared to downloading each separate app. Same with Google lense ! Except it doesn't have its own widget and it should. 3 different search tools combined into 1 is perfectly the way it should be. |
| 2024-03-30 |  | | It works but takes up the entire screen of your phone. It would've been better if we could run it through the notification bar of our phones without having to open the app for this little feature. Hopefully, it would be fixed in the next update and then I would up my rating from 3 to 5. It's not like I don't have options. Flashing custom ROM's would do this for me automatically while running in background. Yup, it's a built-in feature in the Google Pixel 3+ smartphones and Pixel Experience ROM. |
| 2024-02-16 |  | | I love this app very much but there is one problem thats why I can't submit full rating, and thats is no pop-up system. If I want to find a song I can't find it because there is no pop-up option, for this I can't find easily a song or tune playing in my device and also there is no option to save the song I founded, actually there is no option, even a single button!! |
| 2023-07-07 |  | | The sound search is easy enough to use, nothing special about it. Shazam has more options and has a widget. Google needs some working widgets and some of the same options as Shazam like being able to leave the sound search running if you're watching a movie and wanted to get the songs. Beyond that, its Google It works fine |
| 2023-05-23 |  | | App is not working at all. I open app to search, but it already says "results not found" before I even get a chance to try. Nothing I do gets it to reset. Have tried tapping "try again" several times and doesn't even attempt to listen to anything before saying not found again. App used to work perfectly.. idk what happened. |
| 2023-03-25 |  | | The app works but it takes up the entire screen while trying to identify the music and displays the results the same way. Please make it do that stuff in the background, and put the result as a pop up notification, with buttons to listen on various music apps, and maybe an 'i' button which on tapping would open the song details full screen. |
| 2022-10-04 |  | | As bad as Apple and other apps that identify songs. If it had a voice it works but when there is just a beat or ambient type of music. It's useless like apple and other apps. Done a test on about 6 today. It's one of them classical tunes from the early 2000s. Never mind. Uninstalling all |
