It has given me so much joy to find out what music is played in all sorts of places, and so I could play them on repeat later or let myself be transformed back into that moment of the experience where I did hear the music. Absolutely magical, and works so well, it does detect most of the music I tried to catch even when it was difficult to hear it!!! Thanks!!!

When this App first come out was the bees knee’s. But now just takes toooooo long to recognise anything and that’s even if it can, I find SoundHound better for short bursts of songs and you can also stop it whereas with this you can’t. Was the market leader in what it does but now again has competition it is now found wanting.

30yrs ago in time long long ago before ‘Pandemics’ we’re ever a thing that trolled our lives…. I was one of those guys who’d be in a bar , a club or listening to the radio, trying to figure out the name of the track (even asking around) and never obtaining a portion of them! 🤣 So blasting into the dawn of the 21st Century, I discovered this app in all its frequency-tagging-track-hunting goodness that is SHAZAM. I've been using Shazam since it first came on the scene. Almost never fails to find a track your looking for. It even found Old Skool Rave songs from THIRTY years ago from a TAPE CASSETTE I was playing on my Hi-Fi system at home!!!🙊🙊🙊 it's bloody superb in my book. Where was this 30 yrs ago ? 😆😎

Great app, found me many of songs whilst out clubbing or just hearing a song and Shazam and bam I have it. But the last week or so I’ve been shazaming songs and when I click on them to listen on Apple Music the app keeps telling me I need to select what Apple Music subscription to listen. Problem is I already have a family subscription and now I can’t search for any of the songs. Old songs that I previously had have now been saying I’m in the wrong region to listen to and I’ve got to delete them. I have been through settings and everything I can not find the issue!

For its small size…

I will probably be buried (or burned) wearing my Apple Watch and clutching my iPhone - so I don’t need to say how happy I am to be a loyal citizen of the Appleverse! For its small size Shazam is a fantastic app (thanks Apple) that has helped me build a comprehensive & eclectic collection of music to either stream or download to my iPhone (and Apple Watch). It sometimes has me slack jawed at what it produces when I ask it to identify a particular track - how the heck can a 120bpm EDM dance track be confused with a Bach choral composition? But having said that I’ll return to praising Shazam and saying it has become an essential tool on my iPhone & Apple Watch (I love giving folks a demonstration of how my watch can identify a song or piece of music that is playing nearby). Thanks Apple 😍

So. From one week I don’t have financial issues and I can renew my Apple Music App. That’s way I spent time to discover something near to quality of my Apple Music. But for empty’s. I know I will never find the quality of the music experience like Apple Music in any other apps on the any Phone system on the world😄What's going on then. Today I open my AppStore to update some of my apps but randomly I seen there Shazam and Description was like Thunderbolt⚡️get 2 months of Apple Music with Shazam😳😳 I was what? Hmm let’s try but how when my subscription was expired and👀 oh let’s try that😏 and after 10 seconds I filled blessing from all the Gods😎 Offer like never before and bigger if you send link to some one else then he/she/“you” will get three months of
🍎Music and let’s be real that every single place like mobile operators and Including Apple give you 6 months on free 🍎Music if you buy some device or SIM card contract….People who can’t live without music like me that’s 2/3 months from the nothing after one purchase before for normally 30days is not Deal… dis is not for speak 🗣️ I’m just saying that the Shazam app with Apple terms is going to burn your head just recommend to everyone and see what’s more crazy things inside the Shazam app. I will not have space to exe-plane my experience of that…. Thank you Apple I love you guys❤️

Whoever thought of Shazam needs more recognition and thanks. When you hear a record on the Radio, TV or in a restaurant etc and you hear something you like just Shazam, 90% of the time you will get a positive response. The only time it lets me down is when a ‘sound’ is taken from a source that is not known I.e. when a sound is not on a released format. Works great for jogging the old memory banks when you know a sound but cannot recall who recorded it.

I have used this app for years now and I love it. I use it more than any other App on my phone. I’m always listening to music and this App is so good it deserves awards. It can tell you the name of a song from listening to just a few beats… where you are out and you hear a song in a shop which is playing low… it still picks it up.
Only negative is a few times it does not get the song, even although you know it exists as it’s an oldie…. I’ve had to swipe up to stop App and reload… but that’s nothing compared to its value…. But hey…. We are not all perfect! It’s only at 99% … couldn’t do without this App… thank you creators x

Very unhappy with Shazam. It pops up when it has not been selected! “Auto Shazam on start up” is not selected. When it comes up, it does so coving the screen eg, while I’m using my navigator, I’m composing an email and other unwanted time! And during this time there is no function available to make it stop. In the absence of finding any information on this issue, I deleted the app (from the phone). Only then to find - it did it again!! I re-installed the app (from the cloud), so I could access its settings and try to stop this pop up issue again. Still, no luck. Please HELP! I do not need an app on my phone which is intrusive and cannot be instructed.

I’ve been a user of this app for about 16 years now- I was one of the first people in the UK to use it- and I remember showing friends how it worked and them all thinking it was like some kind of magic spell by a wizard or something! But it’s one of the very few apps that is still relevant a decade after its launch and that people STILL use everyday! It’s also helped me name- and download- hundreds of songs over the years. It still needs work for its hum/sing the song identification bit, but it’s still a fantastic app!

WhatsApp, excellent. It’s fast picks up music with background noise of talking from films. I honestly can’t imagine not being without it. The majority of my music library, has been made up by using this app. It picks up music from films even though people are talking and there’s background noise, I highly recommend getting this app if you haven’t already. I guarantee you won’t be disappointed, if I could give it 10 stars I would. The speed it works out, recognising the song is amazing and one of the good points. That it’s connected to Apple Music and you can save the Shazam in your playlist. Are usually don’t do reviews, but I had to for this one because it works perfectly. I can honestly say it’s the best app I’ve ever downloaded.

Shazam is such awesome app the World has been waiting for since the emergence of electronic music. I do NOT struggle anymore to finding out about songs - Shazam does it all in a split second, it’s simply cool. It has brought relief to the music World. No more hard thinking to get a playing song. Shazam is everything and the awesome app the World has been waiting for and now I am able to say that Shazam is powerful detective master equipment as well - for it's more penetrative and cuts through space to the utmost distant locations to target and capture its target without you having to leaving your location. This app is amazing and truly cool. I love it! Well done folks for this awesome invention. 👍👍👍

I am almost always listening to the track I want to Shazam using headphones linked to my phone, often I am listening to a radio show or a mix and in order to Shazam I take my headphones off and hold up to my phone mic to record the audio. This disrupts my listening experience, especially when I’m listening on the radio and may not be able to rewind and listen again.
Shazam should develop and option to use the system audio to capture the track rather than needing to use my phone mic. This could record the track and provide an ID while I’m listening.

I have always been a big fan of Shazam and have never had a bad thing to say about them until now. Ever since you guys updated so that you can get to Shazam from the control centre, any song I Shazam gets lost. It’s not in my history at all so the songs I though I Shazamed have just not been saved. And you would think that just clicking on the notification and going to the app would save it but it doesn’t. For some reason it doesn’t count unless I go to the app directly, which wasn’t a problem before but there is no point in making this an option if doesn’t work. Please fix this, I am losing songs I really like and now can’t remember exactly and am just going through ever song with the same title hoping to find it again

Amazing but a slight improvement could be made

This app is flawless and the live lyrics feature is mind blowing however it sometimes is a second too early or late and even though it doesn’t seem much, it can be quite annoying. Needless to say, whenever I come across a song that I don’t know the name off I can just ask Siri, go on control centre or go on the app directly. This flexibility is really what makes this app so amazing. Life changer

INSTALL NOW, this is why

Literally the most useful app i have ever used, for someone who listens to the radio a lot and my teslas play a mash up of music that doesn’t always show the titles, this is so useful, just tap the shazam button and it will show you what the music is called and will also show you the lyrics IN TIME WITH THE MUSIC you can also search up for music and listen to!!!! You better install this app if you love listening to music and always have that recurring tune running through your head, just shazam it and, there you are!! the whole day listening to tons of amazing anthems!!!!

Formerly brilliant app

I would have given this app 5 stars were it not for one thing... A week ago they updated the app, and made it less useful. A simple thing perhaps, but before the update, you could shazam a song, tap on it, and it told you the release date, label and album. Now it doesn't. So now it's only useful for finding songs on Apple Music. Still great, but just not as great as it was in the four years up to last week.

Version 14.24
Indeed, I can’t even have Radio 2 on in the kitchen without Shazam to hand - its invaluable to a wannabe knowall like me! Points: it’s not so hot on live versions. And I think the service could be expanded to name a tune OR the artiste in those cases where it gets confronted with something it’s never heard before. Also, in classical music (not Shazam’s strong suit) the composer needs to be included in the displayed info. Finally - why can’t it identify voices, both dining and speaking? It that Michael Cain or Alan Bennet? Is that Paul Weller or Jarvis Cocker? Peter Sellers or Tony Hancock? Otherwise, it’s an excellent device and far and away my most used app.

As a lover of music I will sometimes search for weeks for a song I heard a snippet of in a movie or something I heard a few words of on the radio.
It might seem over the top, but I’d call this app a life saver.
To me personally it’s so useful, especially when the song you’re searching for is left uncredited or played on the radio without mention of the title or the creator(s).
I don’t usually feel the need to write a review on an app, but just because of how useful I find an app like this I felt the need to sing my praise.

It really works when the song isn’t too hard to find.

This app will save you a lot of time when you are searching for the name of a tune you might struggle to identify otherwise. Just place your phone or tablet next to any kind of speaker or headphone (with the volume turned up a bit) and it will do the rest. It also works in identifying any background tune, just so long as there isn’t too much sound interference from elsewhere.

In any other generation in human history this would quite simply be called magic. The wildest fever dreams of the greatest science fiction writers of the last century could never have predicted that you would one day have a small box on your pocket that could identify any almost any piece of music ever written. Much less that it would be a free trinket on a device that lets you call your mum AND has a calculator. Imran this with the greatest respect but if you are not astonished, and I mean ASTONISHED, by this app then what hope is there for you to find joy and wonder in the universe?
I don’t even use it that often.

Perfect app! So useful! I use it everyday or I listen to a song on it! But........ Sometimes when I’ve shazamed a song it doesn’t always give me the lyrics! And it’s sometimes really really annoying, so if you can sort anything out about that it would be rlly helpful!
Also it’s sometimes a bit too sound sensitive because if my friend sneezes for example when I’m trying to Shazam it, it can’t figure out what the song is. So if you make these changes I would give the app 5/5 stars!

How many times have we heard just a snippet of the best music ever and not known what is was called ? How many times have we tried to sing that same piece of music to friends, family or anyone who might know what the music was called? We so suffered! Sometimes we never found out ! Sometimes months of internal agony until we heard it again and seized bystanders until one told us the name of the music so that we could purchase it for ourselves . We would play it over and over again. What relief ! Oh Shazam you have saved me twice from internal agony that I suffered in my past ! You deserve a medal . Thankyou Shazam !

I’ve just started using Shazam again. Brilliant that you never again need to get frustrated when you hear some music you really like the sound of, but don’t have a clue who it’s by, what it’s called, who’s playing/singing on it. Shazam to the rescue, providing me with all of this type of info plus much more I notice.
The source playing the music just needs to be clear and properly audible, otherwise Shazam might struggle to pick it up well enough.

I’ve always said since I started using Shazam years ago that it is THE best app. It’s helped build many playlists and find the name of old tunes to reminisce to. It’s also made me question what I was hearing and enjoying late nights in clubs when in the morning playing back some Shazams and having no recollection of listening to those tracks. 🤣.
It’s also super useful when listening to music podcasts and they don’t list the songs. There is rarely a song that Shazam doesn’t know.

For anything commercial, especially pop, it will not only find the track, but also the lyrics. For less commercial tracks, stuff from film soundtracks which are a little “indie” for example, you invariably get the “ we didn’t quite catch that”, which has to rate as the most disingenuous as well as unhelpful error messages of all time. What they actually mean is “it’s not in our data base, because it’s not worth our time” as far as I’m concerned, that’s the failure of Shazam. I’m a music fan, multi genre, multi-generational. Sometimes Shazam comes with me on my journey. Often (40% of the time?) it doesn’t. My perception is that the app is getting less focussed on the music I’m interested in identifying.

This is a great app, and I have always loved it (and it still does what it intends with aplomb). HOWEVER, the current version on my iPhone (for iOS 13.6) has a very serious functional and security bug - after using the app to identify a song on the TV, it continued to run with the microphone on (all night!). This had the effect of completely flattening my phone battery, and poses a potential security risk if I am using it in a work environment. I have 2 options now - deinstall it permanently, or deny access to the microphone except when I am using it (an extreme inconvenience).

Amazing it’s the best app

Shazam is the perfect app to have when you need to find out what a song is called . Before I had this app I went onto google and had to type in some of the lyrics . I have good things to say about Shazam but I also have a little recommendation for it too , once I accidentally hit the delete button so it erased all my Shazam’s so I think that the delete all Shazam’s button should be moved to settings instead
Ps I’m not sure if it is in settings already because if I did then ignore the bit that I said 😂😂
Overall Shazam is the best I recommend you downloading it 👌✌🏻👍🏻

For the last few weeks something has happened and I’ve lost a lot of songs on my Apple playlist via everything I’ve Shazam’d, everything is updated accordingly but something isn’t clicking between them both, I’ve tried a few avenues (un-sync, re-sync, disconnect Apple Music and reconnect it) even when I’ve lost the will to live and try make do with the list I got a day or two later that list has diminished again.
Before everything messed up I had at least 950 songs on my Shazam playlist via Apple Music now I’m lucky to sync 700 - at worst it’ll sync the very latest songs I’ve Shazam’d - so for instance today 5 songs on a playlist which should be closer to 960. 🤷🏻‍♂️ so what’s gone wrong? What’s changed? I’m getting pretty annoyed with it, all the songs were in a place I could remember, now, I’ve not got a clue. Pretty disappointed and pretty gutted about losing the songs via the app too. I’ve just checked my list on Apple Music and my playlist is showing 178 🤦🏻‍♂️ please sort this issue out. It’s not on.

My friend had this app and told me about it and she was saying how it could listen to any song and then very quickly tell you the name. It sounded cool so I downloaded it. It’s soo much better than she described it! It knows practically every song and it even gives you the lyrics! You also keep it in your library and then you can listen to the music when ever you Shazam it! You can also swipe left and see some popular songs! This is soo helpful!! They even know really unpopular songs! This app is definitely getting especially if you have a passion in music or like listening to music!

Been using Shazam for a number of years and it’s been an essential app on my phone. I’ve raved about it to everyone and it’s been amazing, reliable and quick. It recognised any music within a few seconds and nailed it 99.9% of the time. But the past few months it doesn’t seem to recognise anything. I’ve tried with increased volume, holding my handset at different angles, longer listening time, switching between WiFi and 4G connection but it doesn’t seem to recognise anything. If I reinstall the app it will work a few times but then it goes back to not recognising anything. Really frustrating as I loved the app for years- but probably going to permanently remove now as it’s so unreliable....😕

There is no good reason to not have Shazam, unless you don’t have a phone. Anywhere you are, whether you have internet or not, you can whip it out and it takes seconds to get it running. It’s like you can actually have something that can tell you what that song is that you’ve been trying to find for years and you only barely remember the tune and it’s just come on in the shop you’re in and you panic and desperately ask if anyone knows the name of the song that’s on and you wish you had something that could record it and tell you what it is. In conclusion you need to rethink your choices if you still don’t have Shazam.

I love you x

Your amazing as an ex DJ and traveled the world I’ve used you for years and years. I can’t remember when I had to dial a number I think it was 2806 or something, I can’t recall. Then the app, the new updates over the years are amazing. From building a list of songs you like in one app or decide where you go with your music. I get everyone to say Shazam it. I also remember never telling people what the Shazam number was too. I spent in one month (whilst in Chicago then Ibiza) £633 in costs of calls to Shazam, stood there with my phone at a speaker like a fool ha ha. But they didn’t laugh when I came back with the answer. Your the best App I have and has ever had.

Where has the old lyric feature on your app gone? I deleted the app because I didn’t have enough storage, but missed it so much that I redownloaded it!
Anyway, when I redownloaded it, one of my favourite features was gone. You used to be able to follow the lyrics of the song as you played it, which was great for pretending you know a song! 😂
I was wondering if it had moved, or if it’s no longer there, or what?
I’m not sure if this is the right place to look, although this hasn’t affected my love of the app! Love it and use it all the time.

I love this app, use it all the time!! I love listening to music so this is perfect for me. I love how you can see the lyrics for the song and they are in time which surprised me and you can see all the songs you have shazamed before so you don’t have to remember the name. It gives you music as well that you might like and I usually like it!! Can’t believe that this is free and there is no sign up needed perfect for any age, have come across no bugs yet so that is great! No ads or anything dodgy. This is a great app, would recommend for anyone!!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Shazam fulfils it's core purpose (i.e. to identify music according to its precise audio frequency) with very little problem -- this method proves effective when, for example you're looking for the exact composer or the exact remix of a song. I will say, however that, given the concept, you will soon find the limitations of its functionality: there was that one song it couldn't identify. Despite this I think you'll find Shazam to be an all-round convenient application that will almost certainly evoke some nostalgia. A high 4/5 for me, I hope it works the same4u!!

Shazam is easily my favourite App. While other apps and platforms have fluctuated in quality over the years, Shazam has consistently delivered excellent service. As an avid music fan, this app has helped me discover music for the past 5 years and even some of my now favourite songs - ones I would have never known if it wasn’t for Shazam. It may be for personal preferences but Shazam is a fantastic idea that ACTUALLY works. I truly can’t thank Shazam enough for helping me find and keep the music and passion in my life. Thank you Shazam and it’s members. Keep up the great work 😊

I LOVE Shazam and use it at least once a day but I do have a couple of complaints: one, that the menu/interface is a bit fiddly. Once you’ve Shazammed you have to click the small X in the top left, I’d prefer it to automatically take you back to the search/listen button after 30 seconds or so and two the “Discover” page seems completely pointless to me. So what if I can see what others have Shazammed? Mind you as I never use it it’s hardly a big worry.

I’m a DJ and find this app brilliant for sourcing tracks. But the recent update in ios12 has found issues whilst using apple car play. Never a problem up until now.
When the app is run in whilst apple car play is active the sound quality of the playing song either in soundcloud or a radio app is reduced to a low quality sound. Terrible to listen to. And the Shazam will not find the track.
To find the track I have to physically take the cable out of the phone let the music run through the phone and Shazam that way
Not practical whilst driving and can’t be done for dangerous reasons. This means I’m loosing a lot of very relevant tracks on the move
Please can the app develops sort this issue out and is it possible for app developers to see if you can have the app window made for apple car play users so it’s one click in the car
Otherwise great app
Many thanks

Shazam has always frustrated me - frustrated because technically it’s astonishing, yet could be so much better.
I mean, thinking back to when I was at school and mobiles were only just becoming commonplace, the idea back then that you could find a song simply by using your phone to listen to it would have been phenomenal, and still is when you think about it rather than take it for granted.
And yet, beyond that ability, I’ve never found Shazam to be all that. It deleted a whole load of old songs I’d Shazamed from the early days (which I’d assumed would be relatively safely stored!) and because I tend to use Shazam only for interesting/rare songs I’m unlikely to hear often, chances of me finding what they all were are next to none. It makes me anxious about using it as a permanent store platform.
Second thing is it’s not exactly easily integrated with other music apps/devices; really it would be nice to have added Shazamed songs straight into a playlist as soon as you get the answer - I’m hoping its integration with the Apple family could signal a change around of this.
Thirdly, quite simply I’ve never found the layout as straightforward and easy to use as it could be.
As mentioned, I’m hoping this could change with the recent news, and there’s very nothing that puts me off using it completely!

As a just lover of music, I just love that this app exists. I’m always wanting to know ‘who’s this?’. Shazam not only finds out, but keeps a record (‘scuse the pun) of my queries and offers to add the track to my preferred music streaming service. Ok, it sometimes makes mistakes, but I’m ok with the odd blip.
Would like to say, though, if anyone’s listening who could change this: I’ve had a right faff trying not to lose the Shazams from my old phone (having inadvertently signed up with a different email address on my new phone). It could/should be possible/easier to combine Shazams from two accounts.
Apart from that: well done!

Good, but not great!

I couldn’t just judge this app on my personal opinion as that would be biased. I gave a 4 out of 5 because there will always be room for improvements. I don’t like the slogan they use.. “Name any song in seconds” as it doesn’t do that! It doesn’t name “ANY” It names most songs.
I held my phone up to the t.v once as there was this really nice song playing on an advert. I cranked the volume up and it said ‘No result’ three times. Okay, one song they don’t have I thought. Then a great sounding song came on the radio, to which I hit the big blue Shazam button. Nope, ‘No result’. I then heard a great Techno song play at a show. Again, I pulled out Shazam. Nothing!!
Don’t get me wrong, it helped with finding extremely popular songs, but when production music, bootlegs and samples are involved, there is no hope!

How has this become so slow and bloated?

I don’t understand how developers seem to love destroying apps just for the sake of doing something (bored?) with each iteration of an app? I just want to load this, tag it and then read up later. I don’t need fancy graphics or anything else. I also don’t need it to take 5 seconds or so to load on an iPhone X then fail to transmit the song every single time and be told ‘will be tagged when online again’ only to go to tags and find its already been done. I’m going to hazard a guess this is all to advertising but I’m on the edge of just deleting it and not bothering any more.
When it does work, it’s fine (if I can load it in time before something ends).

Still a great app

Updated to the latest version ( iphone SE ) - and with regard to the release date of tracks etc. I was put right by the developers, realised my mistake and grudgingly admitted I was a bufoon! Although I don’t like the fact the app will do all it can to make you buy a track, or tell every social media platform in the known universe that you’ve just Shazam’d something, it’s still one of the cleverest pieces of software out there. I’ve been using this service since 2004 and remember dialling 2580 down the centre of my keypad, waaay before this became an application! My tags only amount to around 600 now so I have lost a good number somewhere along the way - I think the real number would be nearer 1000. But despite that, I have had a lot of use from this service, over the years. It’s not an exact science and Shazam doesn’t always get it right but 99% of the time it’s right on the money! Huzzaah!!

Love it! Been updating my music collection regularly with oldies I have always enjoyed but never owned and using Shazam for more of the newer tracks being played on radio means I get the 'non explicit' version to download and original sound track which I love. Have even used it while shopping if track comes on in store which I like. I also look at the lyrics regularly of songs which have indistinguishable words and am quite surprised what they are actually saying!! Great App - What's not to like!

It used to be a quick easy app....now it's got more add ons and useless gimmicks.
Why?
How do you delete 'following' just because we want to know one song doesn't mean we want to know a bands life history,location,videos etc etc etc etc.
Like many others..the song has finished before you can work around the settings/ facebook/spotify/music/connect/
Please someone develop a simple- press,listen, find track, save/delete with buy option- nothing else !! I would happily pay £5 for an app like that !!! come on developers

Very good app. Does get it wrong sometimes. Generally better on popular but often very poor on classical failing to identify pieces on many occasions. I am not an expert but I suspect database does not have sufficient fields for classical so often a piece cannot be fully identified. Performers are often shown as composers which is very unhelpful. Both performer and composers are required for it to be really useful. I have used this app for a few years and I would have to say that it is actually getting worse rather than better in terms of its ability to identify pieces. Often need at least two attempts to get it right

Since Shazam was first released i have used it to reach out and be able to grasp music types and genres before unreachable, as i struggled to sing back a lyric or repeat a melody to a record shop owner to help me identify with a song i heard that i want to buy. Shame on!
Now! i just hit Shazam on my phone and a have the record shop owner in my hand without feeling like a complete idiot singing play the song to Shazam and i have every thing i need to know about that tune because of Shazam.
Thank you Shazam for opening the gate ways to the world of music and genre.

I’ve used Shazam after I couldn’t for the life of me work out who sang a particular track I’d kept hearing many years ago, so frustrated, I was with a friend & it came on radio, casually he ‘Shazam’d’ the track & unknown to me, he told me!??? I’d never heard of this ‘Shazam’ until then!!! But now I use it on a weekly basis & as times gone on & the app has become more sophisticated it does more & more!!! FANTASTIC! I’ve never looked back & no other app does anything like this, hardly ever misses knowing a track, so no more frustrating times not finding out the artist!!! AMAZING 👌🏼⭐️🌟⭐️📱👏🏼😍

I couldn't believe it when this service first appeared, years ago when you had to dial 2580 and it would text you back the track details. I'd be out and about, in a club, at a bar, watching TV and I'd use it all the time. Shazam has helped me discover music and artists that I would have never found otherwise. To me, Shazam has been just as significant as iTunes, and is probably one of the best inventions I've witnessed in my lifetime. Amazing. Everyone has heard a piece of music and wondered "who is this?" We'll wonder no more. Shazam is here!
