What is going on here Apple!!! I find it quite interesting reading reviews of this app. Does anyone else out there wonder why the first 20-30+ reviews listed when you sort by Most Helpful all have 5 stars? Also, notice how many 5 star reviewers have only reviewed 1 product. Does anyone else wonder why negative reviews get slammed with tons of Was this review helpful "No" answers? t is interesting because this is all statistically impossible unless the reviews are being manipulated, which is the case here as employees and friends of Midomi have been doing. Sadly, Apple has done nothing to address the manipulation going on here. This app is of limited use if you are using Grab mode. I tested the following songs under both Midomi and Shazam in Grab mode:Sgt Peppers (The Beatles)Come Together (The Beatles)Oye Como Va (Santana)Money (Pink Floyd)Lover's Waltz (Steve Riley)1952 Vincent Black Lighting (Richard Thompson)Over the Rainbow (Israel Kamakawiwo'ole)No Hidden Path (Neil Young)Bonde (Ali Farka Toure)Shazam was able to successfully identify all of these. Midomi only found Oye Como Va and Over the Rainbow. Sadly, Midomi could NOT even identify any Beatles song (I tried a bunch others too). Note: I tested many other songs too with similar results. I did go to the web site and ran the Midomi video to see if I was doing anything wrong. I was able to successfully use Grab mode on the same Justin Timberlake song in their video so I know my iPhone works fine.It appears that Midomi has a very limited library and/or their sampling algorithms are not all that good. Trust me, you will have much better luck with Shazam.I've also spent several hours testing both apps against a variety of music (e.g., studio, live, etc.) as well as mediums (home stereo, car, computer). Midomi rarely finds any of the songs. Shazam has a very high success rate and in fact does a very good job at instrumentals. One of the nice aspects of Shazam is that they can identify instrumental songs too (not just those with lyrics). Of course, I didn't expect it to find any of my live bootleg Grateful Dead CDs, but it certainly had good success with live Dead from official releases. Midomi found nothing!The only real value this app has is for its other modes (Sing, Say and Type). These work some of the time and the results will often contain a long list of songs with hopefully yours. The Type mode is somewhat useful if you want to do a lookup and get quick song to listen too (but Google does the same).Because of the other modes, the Midomi app has some benefits, but if you plan to use the Grab mode, I would avoid wasting your time with it and use Shazam instead as it is much more powerful and accurate. - SoundHound ∞ review by Captain Latte
THE Best App Wow :) It does just what it says and more. Sing, hum, or even record a song into the iPhone's mic and midomi will match the song...ACURATELY! Didn't expect that. Once you find the song, you can download it in itunes, or (my favorite part) listen to other people's voice as they searched for that same song--but don't worry, that's only for people who've done this over the web...your iphone version isn't saved :) PHEW! - SoundHound ∞ review by TedBater
I had heard a song for 1 year in a dance club in Brazil but never knew the name of it I had heard a song that I liked for over 1 year periodically in Brazil but never knew the name of it. I spent a few minutes humming the tune on this app and sure enough there it was . The name of the song is Lonely by Tommy Vee . I don't know how this app works but it works!!!!!! - SoundHound ∞ review by Rio Safado
So far my favorite app This was like finding gold in the middle of a hay stack. I can't count how many times I've told someone they knew what song I was talking about. They insist they have no idea what I'm talking about. Now I can pull out my iPhone boot up Midomi and within a few seconds that person will be saying, " OH YEAHHHH, I have heard that song". The best part is, then I can go to iTunes and buy the song, or even hop over to Youtube and watch any related videos. SICK SICK SICK FREE APP! In fact, I can't believe it's free. Easiest 5 stars I've ever given. - SoundHound ∞ review by JaySlayer
It's like magic! It works like a charm! I tried Sing search with a tune I heard at the mall the other day that I've been trying to hunt down. It was kinda scary when the right result came back, especially with my lousy humming! (It was "The Way I Am" by Ingrid Michaelson) The Say search and Grab search were spot on too. Definitely my favorite app. so far. - SoundHound ∞ review by sheppard30
Impressive little application An application that identifies songs on the radio? Amazing. When I saw that this application allows you to sing part of songs to identify them... I was a bit skeptical. I am a horrible singer, but I decided to test this application many times. It worked most of the time; BEYOND MY EXPECTATIONS. I am a music lover (aren't we all?) and I always get frustrated when u hear a new song I like but can't buy or download because I don't have the title. This application will be a life saver. - SoundHound ∞ review by SweetLifer
Awesome!!! I had the program listen to the first few seconds of a song from my computer (before the melody kicked in) and after a minute search it identified the song and where to buy it, or play it on YouTube. An absolutely incredible program! - SoundHound ∞ review by Mr. MacBook Pro
Nice application After reading a few negative reviews I was hesitant to try this over Shazam, but after singing a few obscure songs into the iphone (and embarrassing myself in the process) I was more than impressed. Indeed, I think this may very well be my new favorite application for the iPhone. - SoundHound ∞ review by Little Student
Awesome and Helpful App I didn't expect this to work well. I figured it would be a hit and miss type thing...but this little app is wonderful and fun.
It's already helped me figure out some tunes I could sing but couldn't name. I was pleasantly surprised by its accuracy. It's gotten every single song I've sung right.
I have a feeling this app will be on my favorites list for a long time. - SoundHound ∞ review by Shell in MS
MIRACULOUS!!!! I had major doubts about whether this app could really deliver on its promises -- but it DOES!!!! I just sang it a song (a relatively OBSCURE one, no less) and within SECONDS it identified it and provided relevant links and info. I had to pinch myself to make sure I wasn't dreaming. BRAVO to the developers! - SoundHound ∞ review by WPM
Sceptic at First - Now a Believer! Wow. Really amazing. Pretty much got anything we three at it--even singing out of key--purposely.
Download it and impress your friends --especially those without an iPhone; ) - SoundHound ∞ review by JazzRocks
Crazy! Pretty amazing app. Singing "Lovin' You" or actually humming/la la la'ing it into the phone produced what I doubted would happen. That was able to pull me away from the greateness of the 2.0 software for enough time. Great how you can hear a clip of the songs it finds, or go to YouTube videos of them or go right to the iTunes WiFi store and purchase it. Thumbs up. - SoundHound ∞ review by Kernel Panik
Really works. I sang a song as badly as I could, and it recongized it and gave it back as the very first result!I hummed a song (again badly) and the song came up as the 5th or 6th result.All in all not bad! - SoundHound ∞ review by Venjax
Why not in top 10? Why is this app not in the top ten most popular apps? - SoundHound ∞ review by NeoVita
Fun and Functional This is a great, great app. It allows you to hum/sing or say a name of a tune or listen to a tune on the radio or type in your best guess spelling of a tune or author then it goes out and finds that tune. Fun and functional. Be warned, it allows a seamless transition from finding out all about the tune to simply buying it on iTunes straight from your iPhone. I wish every application was and fun and functional as this. - SoundHound ∞ review by Falkirk
Simply AMAZING. the BEST free app available. Its amazing, works flawless for the most part and is free. I used it this weekend to find a song I didn't know the name of an it worked perfectly. Incredible software. - SoundHound ∞ review by Shap08
Impressive Great abilities, it really impressed me, but it did miss a few of my older sings in iTunes library, but I guess that's being a little picky. I was extremely suprised to find that it found songs based on my awful singing capabilities. - SoundHound ∞ review by ScottLinderer
Amazing, and free! This program really works. I tried a bunch of songs playing on the radio, and it told me the right artist and title on all but one. I am mesmerized by this. And did I mention it's free? - SoundHound ∞ review by CasinoOwl
Excellent way to make someone smile. Of all the launch apps on the iPhone, this is by far my favorite. The fact that you can listen to other people's attempts at singing a song makes it that much more entertaining. - SoundHound ∞ review by JoeL8X
amazing technology it can really find songs that you sing! even my four year old can sing songs and have the identified! amazing! - SoundHound ∞ review by dcpepp
