          Yes as typical for apple. Ios not working properly and they make another good app really bad. How typical. Everything which apple gets to the hands is crap.

            I guess my modded shazam pro apk will stop working in the near future.

              Well, thanks Apple for running good app, whatever they buy expect to be milked for everything

                Anonymous, 12 Dec 2017hahaha so much hate even scared of apple ads like they will... moreI don't use Google apps on my iPhone. Not even Maps or Youtube.

                No Google searches. No Gmail. No Google docs.

                It's all Apple Maps and Here Maps (Herewego). If I ever have to use Youtube it's in Brave browser in a private tab, not logged in to any Gmail account.

                Duckduckgo and Bing searches. Outlook email. MS Office.
                Not using Chrome on any of my devices.

                    LoLiPoP, 11 Dec 2017this have nothing to do with brand loyality! i am not loyal... morehahaha so much hate even scared of apple ads like they will magically brainwash people viewing the ads. these android fanboys do get carried away regarding apple

                    imagine apple bought ur local supermarket and every shop where u live...
                    would u let urself starve to death bcuz u don't want t0 step into an apple owned shop!
                    Hilarious!
                    apple users enjoy using google apps on their devices as they are useful. just like a previous comment, user satisfaction first, brand loyalty last!

                          I feel sorry for the people who are working in Shazam...

                            For those who are worrying about shazam app being discontinued remeber google assistant will soon be updated with music recognition
