Why force people to keep pressing buttons in nested menus? We want to identify music QUICKLY and SAFELY. Edit: They seem to have FINALLY fixed this problem. Edit 2: the program no longer identifies music AT ALL. Everything is saved as if it will be IDed later. It never does. And even when it WAS working, the competition almost always had a better database. Get your act together or your company will perish. That would be a shame. You used to have a very useful program.

This app used to be great but in the last few months it cannot identify this simplest songs quite frequently. Shazam, which I didn't want to use due to the direct connection to Apple music, turn down to be significantly better at. identifying songs. I really don't understand because I've used this app for years and it used to work great. Very disappointed that it no longer does.

I paid for this app and used to love using it. Now, I'm very unhappy with how the app has been working. It seems that if I try to listen to a song or group of songs using the in-app history using YouTube or even Spotify, all I get these days is "an error occurred initializing the YouTube player. Then there is when I try to do a search using the search, it's unable to find anything, a waste of time. If I try another music search-type app, that app seems to locate the song, usually in seconds.
