4.7 out of 5
Shazam is way better and faster

Played 2 songs and never found even the title…. Whatever glad it was free

Shazam with another name

I was excited to try NowPlaying, thinking that when I listen my music collection I discover more info about the album and the songs and the artist. I guess they just know about music in English.

App crashes

Unable to use as app immediately crashes.

App crashes immediately on start

I have the new M1 Air and NowPlaying does not want to stay open at all. Bummer because NowPlaying looked sick

Trivia is fake

Trivia part is nonexistent, unless you probably pay

Music trivia

Suckered me with promise of free week.
Then ran the full membership at me - wanted paid Upfront … F’m I walked

Buggy

Limited information. Unlike Shazam, one can’t use NowPlaying to identify a song playing on the same device it’s running on.

Crashes more than it works

App started out good but now crashes on every use. Never works when I click to get more information. I really want to like NowPlaying and might go back to liking it after the bugs are fixed on, hopefully, future updates.

Crashes on launch

Needs to be fixed, otherwise useful when it worked .

Can’t figure out how to get the full screen display set up

App works as stated, finding and letting you know the song playing (just like Shazam), however, I downloaded NowPlaying to have use as a display for the music playing in the room. I cannot figure out how to get the full screen display shown in the snap shots.

No lyrics no support for gold dimming problem

Potential but looks like a mess on my uphone14promax foo foo. Lack of support is a no no in my book.

Works off and on

When it works, it works well. Access to microphone is allowed. After trying several times, it works sporadically. It will stop listening by itself, or it decides to listen and work. Would be nice if lyrics came up automatically when the song does, instead of having to navigate to lyrics.

The perfect companion

NowPlaying works as expected and provides a lot of fun information, the interface is stunning and I love that I can hear snippets back of the songs that have been playing.

Keep up the good work ✨

Compatibility with older iPads

At the moment NowPlaying requires iOS 17, but ideally we would like to run NowPlaying full time on deprecated hardware rather than on new devices.

Any possibility of enabling the AppStore to allow downloads of previous versions?

music app i didn't realize i needed

this is so nice for setting up on an idle extra ipad an leave it running catching any audio everywhere automatically in a way that feels much more natural than shazam or other "look up current playing track info" app.

This app needs to be fixed

Every time I search for a song just before it finds this song or right after it finds a song or write as it finds this song, it will brighten the screen up to all the way up brightness and I have my brightness really low if not all the way down to zero because this is a bug that you need to fix and my auto brightness on my phone is off so it’s clearly an option in NowPlaying that’s turned off by the fall and you can’t turn it off or it’s a bug because this is insane it should be happening. This has never happened before this needs to be fixed as soon as possible. I’m serious it’s very annoying and I am getting really fed up with NowPlaying because it hasn’t done this before you need to fix this bug.

Really cool app with lots of features

Lots of features crammed into this song identifier app. Really slick interface. Not sure if I would pay for the "gold" subscription personally, but it looks to be good value for the money if you use NowPlaying a lot.

Great app for playing vinyls

Been using NowPlaying on an old iPad while playing vinyl and I really like being able to glance at the current song. Looking forward to seeing new features

The newest version is outstanding

I had the original version and it worked well it just didn’t keep a library of the music you listened to. Now that the new update 1.3 came out, NowPlaying is everything I wished it was. All songs are kept under the History button. I’m glad they listen to the feedback they received. AAA+++

Steve

Must download

NowPlaying is truly amazing. I found out about it through DailyTekk on YouTube. I must say, NowPlaying is just pure genius.

Beautifully Crafted

This is an app that the makers clearly care about every line of code and every UI line they draw. It is beautifully crafted! It works similarly to Shazam to identify music but comes back with tons of well organized information on each track. Kudos to the devs for identifying a need and crafting something so useful and lovely to fulfill that need. Bravo!

Really outstanding app!

Wish for widget for the homescreen..

love the app but 1.5x is crashing

NowPlaying is a lot better than other music identifiers i’ve used, but it seems that after the 1.5 patch (and 1.51), NowPlaying crashes after it makes the first identification. iphone 12, ios 15.0.2

update: after updating ios to 15.6, NowPlaying no longer crashes

Beautiful Way to display what you listening too.

Only $2.99 to unlock, money well spent.

Great but...

Updated April 29, 2020: latest update seems stable. Thank you.

Previous: Great when it works. Continues to crash a lot.

It has really great potential

I like the idea that i can get some info about the songs.
the dev is super nice and listen to feedback.
I recommend on it!

Nice app.

If you are looking for the ‘behind the scenes’ info about a track or artist that Shazam lacks, you probably would enjoy NowPlaying. The developer is responsive and actively maintaining/improving NowPlaying . Another gem of NowPlaying is the Display feature, especially on an iPad and optionally mirroring to an Apple TV. This is quite nice if you listen to Internet radio streams that don’t have metadata, as it provides continuously updated track/artist info of what is currently playing.
