There are times when we have a song that we go into a bar and we hear a song that we love but we don't know its title or that we turn on the radio and a great song comes out that we would like to download and we don't know whose it is. Sometimes we even have a song in our head and we could sing it or hum it but we don't remember its name. For our mobile devices there are apps that recognize those songs and they tell us what they are. We give you a list of the best free apps to recognize music on iOS and Android.
Today the best song identification app. It is the fastest and requires very little volume to recognize. Also, it is the only one that achieves any worthy result when you sing the song or hum it.
