Popular music discovery app Shazam was just updated to v2.8.0 via BlackBerry App World. This update (from v2.7.0) brings with it the ability to upgrade to Shazam Encore with an in-app purchase as well as improvements to and redesign of the tag screen.
If you are unfamiliar with Shazam, it's an application for discovering, buying, and sharing music. Say you hear a song playing, and you have no idea what it is or what band it is. Open up Shazam and let it listen, and it will identify the song for you. From there you can purchase the song, share tags with friends, read reviews and much more. It's a really popular app and compatible with most BlackBerry smartphones in most countries. Shazam is free to download but the free version limits the number of songs you can identify per month to five.

Shazam updates to v2.8 - Grab it in BlackBerry App World
Is it just me, or is Shazam not available for OS6?
I couldn't find it on my Torch and now I can't find it on my 9780.
That sucks.
I got it running on my torch. they didnt have it at first, but it's been available for a while now.
If you cant get it from AppWorld try getjar.com/shazam (sometimes it can detect your device and says not available for your device) or go to shazam.com/music/web/pages/blackberry.html and select sent a link to your BlackBerry option.
It's disappeared from AppWorld for my Torch also.
getjar.com/shazam
This worked! Thanks!!!
I did not see v2.8 in the appworld. It would only let me download the v2.6. I do have the leaked BB Appworld installed tho. I wonder if that might be part of the issue.
same for me, looking for it in App World, not finding it, using getjar link I get error not compatible with your device... Torch 9800 OS 6.0.0.526 in Canada. Funny cause yesterday I've seen a customer with it on her Torch...
I'm from Canada running a Torch on OS 6.0.0.526 and was able to download the update no problem, But i got the update a couple days ago which i am find weird. but anyways i do have 2.8 on my Torch.
nice theme to have,i really dont remember songs by their names,so maybe this will help me start doing that
