Shazam iPhone app redesign incoming w/ new features
Update Feb. 25: The redesign we told you was incoming today started rolling out to iOS users globally. The updated app is available on the App Store now and the company notes that other new features are coming soon, including:
· Quick access to lyrics with a preview as soon as a track is matched, and with direct access to the music video and additional videos related to a song;
· Recommendations unique to Shazam;
· Lightning fast access to the most important information about any show broadcast on over 160 TV channels in the US: music in the show, cast and crew, and more;
· More engaging biographies and discographies, making it easy to go from discovering a great track to learning about and experiencing more from the band.
Shazam, the audio recognition app that lets users find currently playing songs and more, today announced that a redesign of its iPhone app is rolling out ahead of a larger change to the experience coming later this month. Today’s update replaces much of the light, baby blue color theme Shazam has long used and also introduces new features for accessing content and getting recommendations:
Over the coming weeks, Shazam’s more than 150 million iPhone users will see a new tag result experience as it is rolled out, with Android users getting it shortly thereafter. The new experience means Shazaming becomes the beginning of a journey, giving users effortless access to:
· A brand new look and feel for music and television results with easy access to previewing, buying, and sharing a track;
· Quick access to lyrics with a preview as soon as a track is matched;
· Direct access to the music video and additional videos related to a song; and,
· Recommendations unique to Shazam
The updated Shazam iPhone app will be available through both the Free and Encore versions.
