If you enjoy listening to music and want to discover the story behind the music, the NowPlaying app is worth checking out.
The app uses Shazam’s recognition technology to find out which song you’re listening to. He then consults various online resources and presents the main features. This includes information about the recording, the instruments used and other things worth knowing.
You can also save the music information in the favorites, so that you can read the information back at a later time. Plus, you can save the song to Apple’s music library or add it to a playlist.
The maker has paid extra attention to the appearance of the app and attention has been paid to the details. For example, a separate icon has been created for many instruments, which is visible when you read information about the instruments used in the song.
The app uses the freemium model: you are allowed to look up 15 numbers. After that, a one-time fee of approximately €3 is requested.
