Shazam Encore Review
by on April 22, 2010
Shazam is an odd brand in that it offered something cool in the early part of last decade and didn’t die out due to people getting bored of it.
And now it’s back with this application for the BlackBerry – although it does cost £3.55.
If you put this in context, when using the old ‘2580’ dialling method you’d pay 50p per track – use this application seven times and you’re quids in.
Plus with the Shazam Encore application you get to see a history of all the songs you’ve tagged so far, as well as information on the tagged track.
And on top of that there’s a link to buy the track and recommendations on other songs you’d like. The recommended tracks were a little iffy for us but anything that helps you discover music is decent in our eyes.
If you’re someone that likes to use Shazam from time to time, then there’s no reason not to invest in this well laid out and highly functional app – not least from an economic point of view.

Ragdoll Blaster 3
The iOS equivalent of a plain cheese sandwich: does the job, but it won't linger in the memory afterwards.

One for those with a careless bent, and perfect for when you want to play a game but not do any thinking.

Pulse: Volume One
Stylish, absorbing and challenging, but needs Game Center support and an injection of longevity and jolly.

Procreate
Some hugely impressive tools and an interface ideal for artists make this a great painting app.

Difficult to set up, but once you’ve got it working, it offers a great range of print options.

Control issues aside, Warrior Within really is a magnificent sequel.

pxl.
The interface feels a bit out of place on iOS, but it’s a fun app, and produces interesting results.
Puzzlejuice
Absurdly challenging, sometimes brutal, but frequently brilliant (especially on the iPad); just be aware of what you’re letting yourself in for. (Sob.)
