Shazam: The Music Buff Superhero

If you find yourself  in trouble having those last song syndrome moments but still can hardly recognize what song it is or who sings it, then fret no more! Shazam is right up your alley to rescue you!

Shazam Music App

With Shazam, you don't have to sift through every CD or continuously turn the tuner on the radio to find your favorite music. Whether you are a music buff or just plainly in need of help in finding the music that's stuck in your head, then this app is definitely your must-have!

LyricPlay

Developed by Shazam Entertainment, Shazam is a music app that is capable of recognizing music. By just humming or letting the app listen to the song, it will eventually dig through its library to get a match. And voila! Problem solved!

Features

It doesn't matter if the song is by Adele or Boyce Avenue, this app will give you not only the artists, but the title of the song and as well as the album. Simply hold the phone to the speakers (or anywhere in the vicinity) and tap the "tag now" button. It will immediately start "listening" to the song for about 5-7 seconds then when it's finished it will send you all the info about the song.

Lyrics

But it doesn't stop there! It can give you so much more. You can buy the track, tag songs, read album reviews and artist bios, and of course, allows you to view the lyrics of the song in question and belt it out like you knew it all along. It also includes a social feature that lets you share tagged songs with your peers and provides you with what they’ve tagged as well. Last but not the least, it also posts the top videos from your favorite artists via Youtube. So, if you find a song you like by Justin Bieber and would like to see his music video, then this app will provide.

Pros and Cons

You can avail this amazing technology in a whopping ZERO dollars. That's right, it's free! What also makes this music app so impressive is that it's accurate, quick and allows you to store or download recently tagged songs at your convenience. On the other hand, if only it can shore up its ability to identify lesser-known music, then this app is nearly perfect.

Verdict

"Shazam" sounds like a magic word and with the app's functionality, it definitely works like magic! This music app is a must have for music enthusiasts and even for those who have problem in grabbing the song they hear in the club or on the radio.

Shazam is a real deal, plus it's free! Go get it! :)

Triple Town: UnBEARably Addictive

Are you ready for an APPventure to a town where there are lotsa bears?

Triple Town by Spry Fox is an amalgamation of simple match puzzling game, complex city building and bear wrangling.

Gameplay

This gaming app allows players to turn their settlement into a fancy town in a 6 x 6 grid. The map starts with a random design where you need to tap 3 or more of the same game pieces together to upgrade it into an evolved piece- grass makes a bush, bushes form trees, trees becomes huts, and huts builds a house.

But then there are the bears! They fill up your town to scare the tiny townsfolk. Hence, you must trap them to transform them into gravestones.You’re now dealing with two separate upgrade paths all getting in the way of one another. Just like the chess, you have to be clever in placing your game piece.

Once you’re finished with your settlement to a town or a megalopolis, then you can make certain purchases to help you through the succeeding matches.

Pros and Cons

It’s not a surprise that you’ll struggle at the first but once you’ve found your rhythm of  how the stacks-within-stacks play into each other, then it will fascinate you. The combination of frustration and glee it brings you will get you addicted to it.

There’s only one problem: eventually the free ride runs out, and when it does, it hurts to avail the unlimited turns at a painful rate of $6.99.

Verdict

I give Triple Town a big bear hug! It’s not just a straightforward matching game but it’s mentally challenging enough to keep your brain sharp and simple enough to dig in those one-more-time hooks.

So why not give it a try? The first hit is always free on Android and iTunes AppStore.
